Just finished installing them. It was a breeze, I'd say the only hard part was getting the wire through from the passenger to the driver side and making all the wires look oem and clean.. LOL jk jk
Great product Rasp..
Quick shot after install... 3500k Warm water white leds
Final judgement... looks clean with an oem color and feel to it.

ok they are now in but im havin poblems....they don seem to be as bright as others have posted in the pics....and i dont think they are wired correctly.
i wired them to turn on with the headlights..... my understanding is that they run as long as the headlights are on....but once the key is in and the car is running they turn off. i wanted them to continuously run with the headlights on, i figured this is the way everyone else had them on. i followed the directions but i think i might have messed up, any advice on how to correct this, and why are they dim?

Double check which wires you connected. Lastly, if you take some pictures and PM them to me I might be able to help you.

i will try my best to get pics up..i can give a discription for now as to how it is wired....
the positive wires are spliced onto the red/yellow wire i found on a harness which was more towards the top of the dash....the negative wire was spliced onto a blue black wire which was not on the same harness set as the red/yellow was on....it was on a seperate set of wires which was more towards te back by the clutch pedal....
on the red/yellow harness there was not blue/black wire together so i spliced it to the wire which was on the 2nd harness...at the time i thought it wouldnt make a differance. but now i see it must have...

♥'s racing beat
rodger, do you think the install for an 08 mazda 3 would be much different? my girlfriend is jealous of my LEDs
. i'd probably stick them on with double sided tape or something cuz theres not really a spot for a wire tie but all i'm wondering about is the splices

It was not the same as the 8 install. Therefore, I can't recommend you do it unless you have some knowledge of how to trace out wires.
I did take pictures of the Mazda 6 install, so if anyone wants a set for their 6, no problem.

Some pics Rodger! Camera sucks, but oh well. Don't have good pics of how the rear lights up yet from a wide angle view.
On the pic labeled with text.........there is a tie wrap on the other side as well, just didn't know it was obscured until after I took the pic.
Oh yeah, and that strange looking thing on my center console above the A/C controls is apparently some sort of reflection of my garage roof through the windshield.

bumpety bump!
Funny story: I was routing some new electrical wires through the cab on Saturday and when I went to zip tie them down, I was BLINDED!!!! If your'e going to be working near the pedals, I suggest waiting for the lights to go off.
