I don't know how the stock footwell lights hook up, I just had some spare cathodes from a PC mod I did so I put em in there, and I knew I had that spare 12V line behind my screen from the ashtray light, so it was perfect.

Hey there.
Don't mind the negativity, you will run into that alot if you stick around but I dont think anything bad was meant by it, but in any case be prepared.
As for your car being silver, do a search for the "Curse of the Silver 8" or something to that effect, you will get plenty of info on it.
As for the lights, I too thought about getting the factory footwell lights, just have not gotten around to it.

On a side note, I respect the fact that you can appreciate the fact that your dad works hard and buys nice things Repay him by being an adult. Don't rice out your 8. Don't give into temptation and street race (at least dangerously.) If you like speed, then there is also a lot of info on these forums for local meets and races.

Have fun with your lights, and post some pics when you get them hooked up.

Yeah, the footwell lights would be cool if they were on all the time, but here's the thing—for the best driving, you really want the interior of the car to be as dark as possible—ideally there'd be no lights at all—not even instrument lights (that's why there's an instrument light dimmer control—to make them as dim as possible while still being legible). The brighter the interior lighting, the smaller your pupils get… the smaller your pupils get, the worse your night vision is. That's just the way it is.

But… whatever.

wow

this thread rocks my ***.

sshballs chill the F out.

i'm willing to bet that the more you bitch at the people (many of whom have been around this site, rx-8's, and cars in general for a very long time), the less help you'll get. you can't be any more of a n00b than not owning a car yet, so i'm assuming you're here to learn.

Well this has been entertaining. "Yeah.....well......YOUR ID is stupid!!"..... "No.......YOUR stupid!!" ........ "Am not!" "Are too!".
Thanks Tiggerlee, for making my morning here at work that much better.

I gotta say that last night was probably one of the crappiest days of my life and it's nice to know that somewhere on this site I can find a good laugh in the morning.

One a related note I was eventually going to put the footwell lights in but wanted to put them on a separate switch. Ideally I'd like to hook them up to the fog light switch since I just had my buddy club bumper installed and now I have no fog lights.

People are treating you this way because of your attitude...
Besides, to quote you, you "deserve it"...

We should elect POLAK (who for awhile was the youngest 8 owner here) to bitch
slap these misguided youths...

Can we deport him to the 7club? They'd appreciate him there.

Leave the courtesy lights connected to the doors. They'll help you find the gas pedal when you floor it and crash it. We'll all be watching the news when the grief counsellors file into Shady Spring High School to attend to the sobbing basketball team holding your memorial. It'll be tearful when they raise your jersey to the rafters ya little ****.

Don't worry about the cranky members here. Just go to the members list here, scroll down a bit, and send a PM to Mugatu. He's a wiring wiz!
