Got my clear corners in today and threw them in! I got them from ebay, Air Freight took about 4-5 business days. I got them for 57 shipped!! not to bad.... then i took out the stupid metal reflector things... looks pretty hot... yes I know I need to change the bulbs on the driving lights.. I need to find the DIY

 

That looks nice, how hard are the clear corners to put in btw?

 

Thats pretty cool, but I think it would attract a little too much attention

 

i made a DIY for the postion lights i believe you are referring to as driving lights. that thread is located here https://www.rx8club.com/series-i-do-yourself-forum-73/diy-installing-parking-lights-87140/ here is what they look like with my xeons and super white fog lights, all purchased from autolumination. i got the amber stealth bulbs with my clear corners tho i may change them to led's

 

hmm... maybe I should change my clear corners to LEDs or maybe my parking lights...

 

not hard at all, you can probably get both on in about 15 to 25 minutes.

 

Yea I saw the DIY guide, I really don't want to be takin things off my car right now lol, I tried installing a dension icelink on my 05, wasnt a pretty sight, had a few screws left over, broke the heater, etc.

:-) maybe later

 

yeah but the driving lights aka parking lights are a pain in the *** to take them off the first time, but the second time its a lot easier but u have to have strong fingers jeje

 

Yea, I might put orange LEDs in, I don't know if cops are gonna give me a hard time.... I don't get it, as long as my blinkers blink amber I should be fine... I thought acura TL's have white markers...

 

You dont have to take anything off your car, only the old bulbs. Then just replace them with the hyper white LED's. Plus there only like 4 dollars a bulb.. cant beat that.

 

Wicked...

I must do this to mine.

 

Lookin' pretty good.

They look pretty bluish in that second picture but if the fogs are changed as well (like you did) then the whole thing looks pretty good.

 

I've been playing around with adding some LEDs to my light setup. I've tried 3 different types of super white for the parking lights, just to see which puts out the most light. The inside of the reflector for the parking light isn't really a reflector, so the "matrix" style LEDs from autolumination.com don't really work as well as the front firing LED's, right now I have the 6 LED in.

I can see from your pics that you have front firing LED's in your clear corners. You should try the "matrix" LED, I put the ones that I'm not using in my parking lights in my clears and it looks much better. lights the whole lens, not just the front. I want to run amber lights there however, but already have a set of amber LEDs on the way.

I've seen a lot of recomendations for autolumination.com on the forum, but my results have been mixed. The ship quickly and the packaging is good, but the LEDs are really not very good. Every super white bulb that I have has a different hue to it, from kind of an aqua color, to blue, to purple. unfortunately, the two that match the best are the aqua colored ones. I'm going to try a few kinds from Velocity LEDs (ebay seller) and see if the color results are better. I'll post pics soon.

Edit, here is a pic of the amber LED that I'm getting for my clear (from ebay):

 

THe clear corners are really easy... basically 2 screws on either side, one on the wheel well and one on the corner light itself.... I just swapped a pair out last night in a parking light... took longer to walk between the two cars to swap the lights then it did to actually install them..... :-)

 

The ones in the pictures are V-leds, 4 led super white. I like them alot and ordered a lot of 10 off ebay. I do like the refractor type pictured above and will probably switch to them.

 

Just did a set. Piece of cake to install the corners!! Next to swap in some led's...

Time

 

Still waiting on my clear corners :-\.

Ok, I'm confused about something. It comes with Stealth 194 bulbs, are they any good? I want to make the other amber lights stealth as well (rear, and driving), should I just get more stealth 194, or is there something better?

I'm uncertain on the LEDS, dont want to replace them every few months....

 

You shouldn't blow any LEDs if you intsal load equalizers. From what i gather LEDS should last 10 X more than any conventional bulb. The load equalizers are really only required on the larger bulbs like the stop, turn rather than the smaller 194 bulbs

 

So, let me see if I have the lighting down:

Let me know what are the options/best choices
Side: Clear corners w/ stealth 194 (or can this be a LED)
Rear: Stealth 194 (like that comes with my clear corners)
Front: Stealth 194 (same)
driving: I want these to be a white
Fog: Can these be changed to a white?

Im open to suggestions

 

and where do i get the load equalizer?...

 

You can buy them here:

But which one should we purchase? I want to do the same thing soon.
