Hello

So at the moment I have the blue interior lights from rx8strakes.com that just replace the dome and door lights.

I was thinking about getting the footwell kit, but don't necessarily want blue.
Has anyone here ever tried mixing colors?
if so how'd it look?

Pictures?

here are pictures of the green footwell lights. i don't know that i would mix and match but the dash lights are blue if you want to get an idea of what it might look like:

hmm that helps.
and I like the blue gauges with the green.
Not sure if they would show up as much with all blue int lights. But if anyone has done this with any two colors would love to see a picture!

Check in this thread.......there might be pics.

Rodger doesn't do these anymore, but you may find pics of what you are after.

Hey, CTrx8. I noticed you have green ones. I thought rx8strakes.com did. They don't. Where did you get those. They are sick.

I would only do green if I had a nordic green and I would do everything green -- everything as in parking, corners, glove, trunk, license plate, footwell, dome, map, doors, puddle, kitchen sink

personally would not mix and match colors

Just out of curiosity. Have any of you guys wired the footwell lights to go on with parking lights or anything other than going on with the door lights?

I ask because I wonder is it distracting or annoying to have the blue glow?
Or is it not that noticeable when you are driving or riding in the case of the passenger?

^^I have red wired with parking lights. Not as distracting as I would have thought. You get used to them.

I have the blue LEDs wired to the parking lights. Little distracting, nothing drastic.

I think I am going to buy the blue foot lights from rx8strakes.

Then I might buy the green replacement LED's from their parent company.
If I do, I'll be sure to post pictures.

I most likely will buy the green because it is like $10 so if I don't like them.... no biggie.

I have Rotary Rasp's hooked up to the dome lights. No need to have extra lights on inside the car at night...

In fact, I've recently started switching the gauge illumination from the white light to the soft red/blue, and turning it down until it's just noticeable. You'll be AMAZED how much more you take in on your view outside of the car when you take away any pupil-constricting light sources inside the car. Try it if you haven't! Of course, in the city it doesn't really matter I suppose; bling all you want.

in my old car i had footwell lights wired to a switch so i could turn them on or off anytime!

04RX8man: where did you get the lights? from rotary rasp?

Because I think I am going to get the ones from rx8strakes, but am curious if those could be wired to a switch as well.

Oh, and eug I love your avatar.

Alexb....I don't have them in this car...it was on my old eclipse GSX they were just Neon tubes (i think 9 inches) and got power from my cigarette lighter and wired them to a switch...

I'm not sure about how the rx8strakes ones are but if there is wires to b hooked up a switch can b installed....just take the power from whatever source you are going to use...then that wire to the in of the switch then another from the out of the switch to the lights and ground the lights on the other end of the circuit....

very basic things...just make sure wheverver u get power from if u are going to tap into a circuit make sure it can handle the extra amperage load

Agreed....I was totally going for coolness. The 8 is not my DD and I usually drive it in the city, so not too big a deal. But I am now considering adding a switch to have that option available. Rotary Rasp's lights are very cool though and much brighter than I expected.

Anybody have pics of these LEDs from RX8strakes? Wondering if they are as bright too!
