LEDs ??

does anyone know the sizes for the back up light bulbs in the tail lights?

Will i need resistors if i put white leds in my corners and for what other lights should i put resistors in for?

Look, I don't want to flame you, but this has been asked and answered ad nauseum!.

There is a STICKY in the exterior appearance and Body Kits section on Bulb numbers.

Here is one of the namy threads about tail lights; https://www.rx8club.com/series-i-exterior-appearance-body-kits-27/led-brake-tail-lights-125472/

Rx8strakes.com sells pre-made bulb kits.

etc., etc.,

And finally, resistors are only needed for the flashing turn signal bulbs. Others have put in resistors in all led's in a belief that the led's burn out from voltage spikes - YMMV.

My clear corners burn out every freaking two weeks with no resistors.

where are you getting your LED's from? you should try V-LED's.
