Came out to like $62 including shipping. Just went back and checked my feedback... Seller's name is k5com and they're still selling for about the same price.

You cant link a shopping cart

White is illegal in most states for side markers, go for this: http://www.v-leds.com/Shop/Control/P...id/0/SFV/32481

You want the 194 replacement bulbs. I just bought a set of forward facing 4 LED flat ones for my parking lights from v-led. I believe these are the ones RX8Strakes sell:

194 is the correct socket for the bulbs. almost any 194 will fit. i would suggest against using the stock amber filament bulbs simply because it looks stupid having a clear corner with a dot of yellow in the middle of it.

When my current ones burn out, I will probably go with the above linked style, but in evil red to further my wanton disregard for laws and regulations... oh I'm such a rebel

I think its more of an issue if your turn signal is white??

I haven't had any problems running red side markers for a good 4 months now.

I can't speak to the longevity of the v-leds yet, but I've had the rx8strakes super red side markers for 4 months with no issue.

In picking out the parking LEDs I made sure I picked the "long life" versions. I've read where lifespan is questionable for the 6 LED cluster ones and had problems just today with the ones from rx8strakes fitment wise.
