(amazing pics btw)

 

Can someone recommend a set of LEDs that will fit into the fog light housings without modification? I seem to recall people saying the V-LEDS required you to remove that reflector piece inside the housing, and that just isn't something I'm looking to do.

Much obliged.

 

I've noticed that the parking lights: http://www.v-leds.com/Shop/Control/P.../SFV/32481part number: 194_4_HP_W

and the interior lights: http://www.v-leds.com/Interior-LED/D...68710-1-2.html part number: 194_3HP_W

Are sold out... Is there any substitution for this?

 

yes send VLED's an email with the part number tell them the make and model and year of your car and ask what the replacement bulbs are. Worked for me

 

aipex8, pm me everything that you have for your 8, I want that same exact set up that you have for my 8
thanx!!!

 

Aipex8, mind doing the same for me (pm)? Well not everything I just like the lights lol. Those lights look awesome...

 

Are you guys serious?

It's in the first freaking post.

 

Hey, I haven't checked in on this thread in a while. As Alz0rz said, all the bulbs that I'm using are in the first post with links. The bulbs that I'm using for the parking lights and interior have been discontinued though. I'd suggest these as a substitute:

ha ha, no kidding!

hey aipex, just reviewing your updates, everything looks great. i had a aftermarket fog light go out on me, so i'm thinking of maybe trying vleds. i went with white before but i think i really want to go with yellow for the fogs to switch it up. first, those updated fog bulbs look huge!! they fit? i run (ran) my fogs as drl's, so i want something that will last. do you think led's will work for that, or should i stick with a standard bulb and just get yellow ones? ...just thinking out loud!

maybe these? http://www.v-leds.com/Exterior-LED/D...72495-1-2.html

 

You do have to modify the fog housing (take out the reflector cap) to get the LED bulbs to fit. Also, the bulbs that you linked to there are amber, so are going to look more orange than yellow. If you want yellow fogs I would go with a standard incandescent bulb. I have a pair of PIAA yellow fog bulbs that I run sometimes in the winter (rainy season) and they are amazingly yellow.

 

ah ok, that's very helpful. PIAA yellow's sounds like it for me for fogs at least. thanks!

 

does the v lid strip come with the wiring kit and switch to turn them on and off if not where can i find that

 

does any one know if the v-led 12 inch strip lights include a turn on switch?

 

They don't if you read the item description it tells you what is included look up some DIY's and you can decide which set up is right for you there are ones that tell you how to wire switches how to wire it to your parking lights or to your courtesy lights

 

this prob sounds retarted but what are diy's sorry im new to the rx8 club i started using it today so sorry if i dont know much

haha that was kind of funny but my guy does all the installs so i want to get everything i need so he can do the job and i tried reading the pard description and it dosnt say anything about a turn on and off switch and this is what i would like to have and all i asked was if it dosnt come with one where can i get one

 

np man it means do it yourself if you search this forum really has a wealth of information on these cars really anything you could want to know is some where on here you just need to search and if nothing comes up than ask but more often than not you will find what your looking for!

I have the 6" strips from V-LED's I wired mine and my buddies up its really simple just search for footwell LED's in the DIY sub section I'd link the one i Used but I forgot to save the link

 

k thanks so much man

 

If your tech is good with installs he can wire it so that it gets power from the acc and uses a switch to complete the current any small electronic switch should do

 

No, there is no switch included. I've got my white ones wired to the interios lights that come on when the door is open and the red ones wired to come on with the head lights. You certainly could wire them up with a switch, just pick one up at Radio Shack.

 

Aipex8, you finally back online How's everything going?

 

I haven't bought any LEDs in a while, so I figured I would buy some so I can post pics and stuff. Got a pair of these for the parking lights:

Things are good. How are you?

 

Better but not out of the woods yet. Couple of meets coming up if you up for it.
