the blue leds i ordered were 12 led bulbs and the base was wider so they didnt fit snug in the socket so i will have to go with less led bulbs.

I need to check my links, but here ya go. This might help you decide. It's what I am currently running in all positions:

Parking lights.......white 6 LEDs http://www.v-leds.com/Shop/Control/P...id/0/SFV/32481

Clear Corners.......white 6 LEDs http://www.v-leds.com/Shop/Control/P...id/0/SFV/32481

Door Courtesy lights.........blue 6 LEDs http://www.v-leds.com/Shop/Control/P...id/0/SFV/32481

Map Lights..........blue 5 refractor LEDs Don't think they sell these anymore????

Rear Dome..........blue festoon/LED http://www.v-leds.com/Shop/Control/P...id/0/SFV/32481

Glove..............blue 6 LEDs http://www.v-leds.com/Shop/Control/P...id/0/SFV/32481


Footwells, have two blue LED circuit boards each side(driver and passenger), these are a little more subtle that what you've probably seen.
http://www.v-leds.com/Shop/Control/P...id/0/SFV/32481

Under the front seats(near the rear), I have RR's blue circuit boards tied into the Courtesy and Footwells above.
https://www.rx8club.com/group-buy-center-85/custom-led-footwell-lights-118507/

Turn signals.........Stealth bulbs for now. http://www.stealthauto.com/Departmen...lth-Bulbs.aspx

Inside Trunk.....blue 6 LEDs http://www.v-leds.com/Shop/Control/P...id/0/SFV/32481

License plate......white 6 LEDs http://www.v-leds.com/Shop/Control/P...id/0/SFV/32481

Brake lights........18 LED 7440/7443 red http://www.v-leds.com/Shop/Control/P...id/0/SFV/32481

Back up lights.........18 LED 7440/7443 white http://www.v-leds.com/Shop/Control/P...id/0/SFV/32481
(can't seem to find the 18's that matched my Brake lights anymore, but the link is to some with 27 LED's).

Fog lights...........Hoen H11's. This isn't where I bought them, but see............ http://www.hoen-usa.com/fog.htm

Puddle lights courtesy of Shazbot. https://www.rx8club.com/group-buy-center-85/custom-led-puddle-lights-118822/ BUT.....I did change out the LEDs to match those in the door courtesy light position.....see above.

RX8Strakes Stealth brake light, but I believe they stopped making the one I have(which is the good one), but here's their most recent one. http://www.rx8strakes.com/index.asp?...ROD&ProdID=348

Only take the links for what they are worth. I started changing everything about two years ago, so there are probably better options now................but I don't think you can go wrong if you stay with Vled's.

hey aipex... i got these super white leds from rx8 strakes.. here's the thread https://www.rx8club.com/series-i-exterior-appearance-body-kits-27/rx8strakes-led-sidemarker-bulbs-installed-149383/

would you say that the LEDs that you have in the link would match the LED side markers that i have? (not the stealth clear bulbs as i have pictures of both)


i'm also looking to get the 8000k headlights. There's a link in this thread too.. anybody have any experience with them? https://www.rx8club.com/series-i-do-yourself-forum-73/diy-bluer-low-beam-hid-bulbs-107608/

I would say no, the actual color of white LEDs vary widely depending on who you purchase them from. All of the V-LED bulbs match nicely and they are also closer to actual white with less of a blue tint. Your corner bulbs look to have much more of a blue tint to them. Of course it's hard to tell for sure from pics from different cameras, lighting, etc.

The V-LED bulbs are also a very close match for 6000K HID bulbs (I have the Philips Ultinons). I don't have any experience with 8000K bulbs, but from pics I've seen, it looks like your corners are closer to 8000K.
