Please do tell..

 

I am planning on switching out my current parking light LEDs out... I am wondering if the V-LED parking lights mention in the first post require any resistors?

 

No.

 

Okay, so I bought the V-LED corner lights recommend on the first post.

I mean they work and all, but the problem is they shine at a 90 degree out, so the front of the lear corner (my reflectors are removed) doesn't really see much light.

Anyone used the V-LEDs recommended for the parking lights in the corner? I bought these for my parking lights and they work really well.

 

i put in my d2s 6000k the other day and im having a problem with the way they shine... one has a brighter beam in one particular spot the umm i dont know the sheild for other cars or guard is the same im confused about what it is ill put a picture up later of what it looks like form the drivers seat at night to see if its a simple solution im thinking i put the bulbs in wrong is there more than one way to put in the xenons? or might i have hit something obstructing the beam?

 

Where did you get the HID setup from?

 

They're so cheap because they're not HID's. They're just tinted halogens. HID's are 3000+ lm, those are probably around 1000 lm.

 

no, YOU'RE over-hyped!
Yeah, I said it... what now???

 

I've tried some leds from ebay. They are actually pretty nice.

 

i was thinking about getting some off of ebay as well, can you post the seller and some pics on your car>?

 

I recently did HID's in my fogs as well. 6000k HID H11 kit was about 45 bux from vvme. Check bottom of page in this thread for my install: https://www.rx8club.com/series-i-exterior-appearance-body-kits-27/so-i-put-hid-fogs-178855/page2/

 

Aipex8: the interior LEDs are always out of stock: http://www.v-leds.com/Interior-LED/D...68710-1-2.html

So what are the alternates?

What are the good eBay vendors?

 

those are beautiful dood!

I am soooo jealous, i need to get all of those lights

 

I like what I got from superbrightleds. I had a blown front parking light (inside the low beams,) and have stock HID's, so I wanted to find LED's around 4300k. The WLED-xHP fit the bill, and I'm pretty happy with them.
They're appear about as bright as standard 194 bulbs, maybe slightly dimmer, and they match 4300k HID's well. They have reverse polarity protection, have a linear regulator, and appear to have 3 dice, which I would guess are in series (same as having 3-3.6ish volt LED's in series.) Not fancy, but seem well designed.
First pic is LED on right, bulb on left, second is the same plus headlights, third is both LED's with the headlights and 3300K HID fogs on. Daylight WB on all.

 

For the hyper flash issue has any one used this..............

.....Instead of resistors? Does it work an hows fitment?

 

I was gunna order up some new bulbs and just wanted to run my selection by those of you who have actually put these in your cars.

Parking
Reverse
Fog
Xenon Headlight

In particular to the headlights, can I just put in a D2S 6k bulb in the stock Xenon headlight without problem? HID is kind of still a mystery to me right now...

 

yes... DS2 is DS2

 

I don't think that would work for our cars. There is no such flasher unit in the RX-8 that you could pull out and replace with this.

 

I checked out the fitment guide here:

http://www.sylvania.com/ConsumerProd...RG-Results.htm

And the parking lights you have on your 8 doesn't match what the fitment guide says to get. How do I know what will fit and what won't fit?

 

I wasn't sure since I found a block fuse like that under the dash (haven't tested it to see what it is for)I read on line that where some fuses for flashers were located.

Thanx for the info

 

hey guys, first post...coupon code no longer works on the site. FYI :b

 

Hm... I wasn't aware of such a block fuse under the dash... where is it? Can you snap a picture?
I checked where the clicking is coming from when the turn signals are on and it seems to come from some black box under the dash on the driver's side. That box however looks nothing like this flasher unit. I did not see any other similar block fuse in the vicinity but maybe I missed it.
Try to pull that block fuse and see how it looks. If pulling it has an effect on the turn signals, then you're on to something

 

Its been raining over here in FL so I haven't had the chance to test it but I will before the weeks over since I place on placing an led order

 

damn parking lights are sold out lol
