Originally posted by mikeb I want to change my front blinkers bulb next to the headlight to a steathbulb. has anyone changed this bulb Originally posted by Irish_in_a_RX8 What would you change it to? Isnt it illegal to change the amber color? (Not that I have ever cared) |
Originally posted by BRx8 someone here has, i forgot who...they used those stealth bulbs and you can hardly see the bulb because it blends well with the background. the stealth bulb looks like it's chrome but when it blinks it's amber colored... |
thanks for the link
so its a 3157 bulb? I didn't think those would work because they have plastic bottoms and when I looked at ours in the 8 they are all glass I want chrome colored and to blink hyper white like the rest of my lights and yes thats illegal unfortuntely thanks guys |
Mikeb,
I'm not sure which exact bulb you need, but the link is to a ebay store which carries chrome bulbs of many different types. You just have to find the type you need first, then look for a chrome version on the store. He's local to us too (Diamond Bar), so you can get it pretty quickly. Good Luck. |
I've looked everywhere and the shops tell me the stealthbulb is not avaiable for the rx8 turn signal next to headlight
can I go to this shop in diamond bar |
Mike,
I'm trying to send you a PM, but your mailbox is full, anyhow: No, the guy doesn't have a storefront, he just operates out of Diamond Bar. But you can try emailing him with the type of bulb and asking him if he can get it in chrome for you as he carrys a wide variety. He was pretty responsive when I was dealing with him so it seems like it's worth a shot. |
thanks
my pm's most be broke I erased them all last night and I'm still not getting yours |
Wow, let me get all this straight.
PIAA Super White LED for parking - 194 PIAA Super Blue LED for doors, glove box, and License 194 Fog lamp alterations are causing blown fuses but bulb is H11. What bulbs are good for map lights and dome light? Some mentioned red dome and another said incandecent for bulbs so they will still fade. Has anyone ever removed the shield in front of the fog lamp? |

Has anyone ever removed the shield in front of the fog lamp? you don't need to remove the shield in front of the fog lamps...you need to get under the car and remove 3 plastic "screws' that hold the underlining to the bumper...then reach up and change the foglamps that way |
are the front signal and rear signal bulbs 7440 or 7443????
|
Did I hear someone mention that the 5800K H11's only last 3-6 months? Or is that for the 80W bulbs?
Also, it seems to me that if the 80W bulbs are blowing fuses, you're better off with a lower wattage. Is there something in between the 55W factory bulbs and the 80W bulbs for the fogs? Like maybe 65-75W? Thanks... |
yes the nokya h11's I got were 65 I think and I've had them for 3 months will no problems

I need help here! I ordered bulbs from the local speed shop and got them in but the orfer is wacko.
I read through the forum pages and came up with a conclusion that super blue LED PIAA bulbs were great as were super white LED PIAA. WHn I ordered I got 1 pair of blue "color" bulbs and some white ones. I think what is causing my confusion is that every vendor uses different descriptions and on the forum many are not giving the brand of bulb. What is hyper white? who makes it? What is super white? who makes? What is super blue? --THe speed shop here says it means blue colored bulbs. |
hyper white or super white will look very similar
super blue will get you a ticket quickly many companies make super or hyper white polarg, piaa, apc, xenon just pick one |
are the front signal and rear signal bulbs 7440 or 7443???? they are 7440...I changed my rear signal lights to chrome/stealth but lights up red and done it also to the front |
I don't have HID for headlights and I want it to match my 4 LED parking lights. what is the number for the headlights?
|
Low beam halogen is an H7 55W bulb in my US manual.

Hey, if the 7440's work, let me know.
I thought they only replaced the W21W's, and NOT teh WY21W's that are used for the blinkers. Maybe the Y just means "yellow"? |
the 7440's work... you just have to modify the end to go all the way through the slot. I had to shave of some part of the plastic branch
|
will this work for the low beam headlights?

My dealer just called and tried to tell me that if I wanted to switch the fog lights that iyt would require that I buy an additional foglight assembly. All I want is some H11 55W bulbs to replace the current foglight.
Does anyone know if Mazda has H11 lights in some of their other cars? |
