Lighting Redone
First thing i did was get rid of the ugly halogens. The kit I bought was 55$ shipped off ebay. They were actually selling for cheaper. I ordered 6000k and it came in an Xentec box, which i guess was the brand. Plug and play installation and 2 year warranty (Hopefully).
Left HID before burn in right Silverstar
Both HID day after burn-in.
Night time.
Second was a full blue LED swap.
RX8 Strakes LED kit.
Footwell Lights I Made Myself ($10 in supplies)
Trunk, not beautiful, but functional. (Lol i used a K&N sticker to cover a scratched up part of capacitor)

I bought the bulbs to do that but then got lazy and put them in the license plate / glovebox. I heard it's really hard to replace those.
The kit was only 55$ shipped and the same ones were auctioning off for around 40$ so its win-win. Installation took about an hour for both.

Its not that clean, if i redo the wiring i'll make a diy. Can you get to the parking lights from the under wheel well? From what i heard you have to go in from the engine bay.

passenger side: unscrew ECU cover (3 screws), reach in, twist, change bulb, twist, re-attach ECU cover. done

Good Job !
I used to have white side markers lights and blue parking lights, but I changed my mind
I took out both side marker lights, and the parking lights
only 8000K HID headlight and 3000K HID fog lights ^^
personal taste, too many lights at the front doesnt look too good to me

Not to get confused but the HID kit was 55, the LED's were less and a hell of a lot easier to install.

very nice! i like the look of the headlights, i just swapped out my parking lights and clear corners and it was not hard at all, the passenger sides a tight fit, but have a girl with small hands help you. I may have to do the headlight kit thought, my lights look kinda weird with the LEDs for parking lights and then the stock yellowish headlights. How hard were they to install etc
