Hello all,
Greetings from South of Norway. (You can guess my name from username :)

My rx8 has followed me (enabled me) mowing from Croatia to Norway 2 years ago. It has since been imported to Norway and is enjoyed here.

It is pretty stock apart:
Toyo catback,
Oem cat removed and replaced by straight pipe (the oem resonator is kept),
Tein springs with matching shocks,

That's a nice looking 8. The 350Z wheels look nice on it too!

Just from experience, don't install LEDs for the high beams unless you don't use them often. LED bulbs really aren't anywhere near as good at throwing the light a long distance as halogen ones :thumleft: If you have the time and inclination, Morimoto D2S Mini 5.0 bi-xenon projectors fit in the RX8 headlights perfectly ;)

I will be moding the oem Low beams for higher output, should be far superior to the d2s, and maybe boosting the oem ballasts, I'we been in to headlight moding for some time :). had pleasure of having infinity fx35s, and some other rare ones :).

re- Led, I will try them and measure the output. have the equipment to do it precisely to avoid fooling my self from visual eye interpretation. I have a set that puls a solid 48W/piece of power so should outshine the halogen ones and better match the xenon low. also they are properly concentrated light source. I would newer have them in low beams (in any headlight).

I really like the tablet installation you've done, do you have any more info on how that was done ?
