So I don't want to step on the toes of anyone who loves autolumination - especially being that this is my first post - but I found www.superbrightleds.com to be a good site too. Now if only I could find some cheap clear corner covers...
Also, I feel compelled to put my nerdiness to use here and point out that it is usually in your best interest to buy a light that matches the color of the cover - i.e. put red lights in your high brake, because the red cover will filter out certain wavelengths of light and yada yada yada sciency junk. Just know it will typically be brighter if you match color of bulb and cover. Obviously clear is an exception.
Thanks to everyone on the site for the great info so far!

Well, I ordered 6 bulbs from www.superbrightleds.com last night - I think I saved about $1 to $2.50 each as compared to autolumination. Of course, people here speak of great experiences with autolum, so I'll be sure to let everyone know how smoothly things go with sbl.
^That is not your model. I mean GT, Touring, Sport. Check out this website, it may help:

ok i have the grand touring. so It does come with HID's.
but im confussed... is the low-beams the only ones with HID's or can i replace the high-beams, fog lights, and running lights with HID's also?

You can replace all of them with LED's or HID's. I would leave the high beams alone though, cause you don't use them all that much so it would be a waste of money and there are laws against what you can have for high beams
Ok I need a lil help I'm gettin ready to install OEM fog lights my question is since they make led bulbs for the fog light couldn't I use a pair for the low beams to? if I need to mod it I will ur help is appreciated
I have halogen capsules in my 04 rx8 I want a white look... And on autoliminations there is super white and diamond blue.. Which one would look better on silver with white parking lights and is 55 watt too low or should I go for 100 watts? Thanks guys
Nobody ever really answered the question earlier about the bulb code for the ashtray light. I've just pulled mine and it's definitely not a 194. The wedge is much smaller than a 194. I'm guessing that it might be a 24/74/NEO type, but at this point I'm unsure. I'll probably attempt to order one and verify... If anyone can confirm or deny this prior to me placing an order, I'd appreciate it. Thanks
got a question thats probably been answered but icant find the answer in here...can i use fog lights bulbs H11 55 watts or 100w? iknow that it says 55w on here but ucould choose on the autolumination site, i wanna go with 100w diamond blue because i suppose they're brighter...
