I'm a huge fan of the LED lights in some of the newer generation of cars. Mainly, the TLs, G35. I even hear the new Zs are outfitted with them.

I'm sure it'll be a matter of time before Mazda jumps the wagon and revise future 8s with LED tail lamps (other than the runnings ones along the "spider arms"). But what about current owners? :o

I came across this, and was wondering what you thought:

They seem to be a simple and somewhat inexpensive alternative for people who want LED tail lights. Not altezzzzza-ish :p

So my question is, any of you have experience with these? Do they actually work as advertised. Will I need the LED Exhaust tips from Pepboys to match? :D

 

i think someone on here actually did this.

 

I found this thread:

Looks like interests died.

Found this on the S2K board. The guy seems to like them. I thought it looks okay. I'm curious to see what an 8 would look like.

 

If you look at our tail lights you'll see the bulb is in there at an angle. Sorry folks, I don't think this would work for us.

 

Huh... Kinda cool how they came up with such a versatile design. I'm impressed.

The 3-point design might actually look kinda cool on our cars, too. Fits the whole triangle scheme nicely. If there were actually a chance of them fitting, I'd gladly buy a pair and post some photos. I DO have LED running lights (the bulbs next to the main headlights), but they're the same size as the stock bulbs... Not sure how/if the rear lights would work, or even what sizes I'd need?

 

I'd love to see these in an 8...has anyone tried them?

 

I would have to see it in person

 

Hey someone in the So. Cal. club said they put them in the rear.

Wasn't that Rotary Rasp? Check the Western forum for LED lights.

 

Wow these looks sweet.. i wanted an led conversion.... hrm...

3 prong for sure... rotary power!@#

 

You're thinking of addictiveRX, and he did not have these. He had the normal LEDs.

 

what do the normal led's look like?

I think what they really want is a picture from the back.

Can't remmember if there's one in the Western forum.

 

Did anyone order a set of these and try it? I'm getting antsy to replace my cars lights with LEDs and would love it if these worked.

 

Sorry, not yet. Did find a local shop that has these in stock and can install them. I might get some in the near future, and will definitely post if I do.
