different color lights, pissing me off..
ok, i look at the front of my car and this is what i see. lights in 3 different colors and its pissing me off. its a 04' rx8 touring (everything the gt has except the leather and heated seats)
the lights closest to the mazda emblem are like a creme color, and id like them to be white. fogs are a off white, if they could also be white thatd be nice. headlights are HID from my knowledge, but if you look my drivers side is brighter than the passenger, just curious as to why that could be.

dont mean to thread jack, but if i wanted to change to say an 8k hid bulb, would i be able to change just the bulb, or do i need an aftermarket ballast as well...
FYI, i currently have factory HID's

Yes you just need bulbs (capsules) to fit the right base size.
Always buy two, even if one burns out, buy both - trust me, they won't match if they are newer/older mixed.
The stockers are 35 watt, you can't use the 55 watt capsules without a ballast upgrade.

wouldnt 35watts be enough? its not the brightness i care about, its the color. plus it would be easier to just buy different bulbs. idk what bulbs are for the various lights either. all i know are the halogen fogs are h11's thats it as far as what bulbs are where and what kind.

the 8000k bulb is too blue for my tastes so ill be going 6000k hid's for the headlights. park lights ive read to be 194's, ill have to find those in white, close enough to the same color as the 6000k hid's. (not brightness, just color). the fog's ill leave as they are most likely.

Here is a great thread for led bulbs https://www.rx8club.com/showthread.php?t=158590
so in post 1, the first lights listed are the parking lights. these specifically.

these are the kind im looking for that i want replaced, closest to the mazda emblem correct? the 194's?
edit: those are 6000k's (white with a tint of blue), the ones in this link are 5000k's (pure white). they would also work right? just to be sure. looking at his pictures the 6000k's seem to be more blue than the headlights and i think the 5000k's might match better with factory hid's..)

Kind of a tangent off that other thread already posted, but give mine a quick look for the hell of it.
See if that's the look you might be after.
Some pretty good detail on what I have right now and thread is not as long, so you don't have to weed through a ton of posts to get all the info.......and I only use V-LED's.

So if I have xenon on my car I can just order the 3 different kind of bulbs and fit them straight in?
Im kinda confused after reading to many posts about led/hid/xenon/ballast/reflective/projector :S

Hm, I think Im gonna take them out to make sure its the same sockets. Compare them to the pictures on the VLED site to be sure, would suck ***** to waste those cash on something that dont fit at all.
Thanks!
Thanks!

Same 6k hid's like me and parking too! See if you like my color match in my thread and it will tell you which fog LED's. Although I think they are listed in this thread as well now.
