FULL LED Conversion Help?

FULL LED Conversion Help?
I'm hoping someone can shed some light on a few areas i'm having trouble with.
I'm trying to do a FULL LED Conversion and color change on pretty much every light on my Rx8.
So here's the list.
For the purpose and use of this list, i'm referring to part numbers for V-LEDS.com
I'm trying to get a grasp on this project, if you know of other bulbs/kits available that are better please don't hesitate to say so!
This is also to make sure that all the bulbs listed are the correct ones for the right places!

Just the bulbs.
It seems that V-leds took the Diamond Blue 6000k off their site since I last bought them. In my own opinion, I would not go further past a 6000k. Give V-Leds an email and ask them if they can sell a separate pair of 8000k Diamond Blue. Their customer support seems to help out a lot of people.
You won't need the full kit unless you want to put HID in your fogs.

no sleep til it spools
I believe 6k will give you that blue look without being too blue, though it's relative. Look up videos on youtube to get a rough idea, unless you know somebody who uses that color temp.

i have every light on my car switched to led. i would recommend purchasing corksports led convrsion kit for all interior lights, license plate lights, and front drl's. for headlights you have to purchase any d2s bulb of your choice , whether it be 6k 8k or whatever. just make sure the one you purchase has a lifetime warranty. for the turn signals and corners visit rotoryfx.com they have different intensities and colors. as far as tailghts go rotoryfx.com has a full led conversions including the nedded resistors for the turn signal bulbs. my car looks great and i have done all of the above. not a single bulb was missed in my conversion. and everybody loves how bold and flashy my car is at night.
