Looks good, but sometime try the same LED's you have in the parking lights(the 6 LED) in the clear corners. You can drop down to a five LED, but I think you might like the look over the warm white in the corners..........just a thought.

-> I re-wired the fog lights into the brake lights in the fuse box under the hood. easy DIY here... https://www.rx8club.com/series-i-do-yourself-forum-73/diy-fog-light-rewire-11737/ (look at the 2nd page) BTW, the bulbs in the fog lights are the H11 bulb. I got mine from superbrightleds.com and it is a LED. They are origionally a HID bulb and the LEDs are very dim due to the reflector inside the housing (tried to remove but couldnt) it sorta looks like an angle eye glow. I would recomend a HID super white bulb (I'm thinking about the titanium white HID from AutomotiveLightingUSA)

-> origilnally i had the 6LED bulbs in the clear corners, and that bulb is larger than the stock and could hardly screw the connector in. after a day i switched some bulbs around and thats how it ended up. i did like the look of the cool white in the corners, but i am trying to stay away from the blueish (SP? wtf) corners. I sorta have a blue theme going on, so the cool white corners might work.
