These pics turned out AMAZING Jess and Greg are no less than professional with their cameras! I am pleased to have been a part of this photoshoot, and to introduce the "top secret" light some of you may have heard about on the Dipstick LED Light group buy.

I will be offering an EXCLUSIVE rx8club.com discount to those that email or PM me for details (for a limited time only!) The lights will be available at LEBREN.com shortly for the regular price. Offered as a DIY installation with moderate install complexity when compared to the Dipstick or Dually.

Looking forward to bringing these three 8's together soon, thanks again guys!

Cars and pics are great! The new LEDs look awesome.
Do you all have blue LEDs in the front or is it just the camera?

im guessing you mean the rear license plate light not the front? if so, yes we all have L.E.D.s back there too but they are white l.e.d.s not blue, they just turn out blue in the pictures!

thanks agaaaainn =] once i get gregs pics sorted out ill post up a few more pics!

That answered my question, but I did mean the front. I was talking about your parking lights.
Thanks.

Pics are awesome! Lights look great, but is it legal? I mean I would be worried not having the 3rd light lit up at top for safety reasons.

we didnt touch the 3rd brake light up top at all, its still fully functional and everything. the 3rd brake light only lights up when the brakes are applied.

PM's replied!

To reiterate Konig's response, these only tap into the license plate light and run with the tail lights when they are turned on. They do not get brighter upon braking, and are within the legal colors allowed for the rear of a vehicle. Truck owners have tow hitch covers with LED's in them, also LED's are added to trucks in strips above the rear bumper, and these are offered in your local Pepboys, Autozone, Kragen, etc. Worst case you get a fix it ticket, remove it then put it back on
