We're big fans of LED lighting. It responds quickly, it generates almost no heat, it lasts for a long time and it uses minimal power. What's not to love?

We use LEDs from Diode Dynamics because they're the best ones we've found. They're made in the US to high standards, not just the minimum price. They've got constant-current circuitry to protect the bulbs from transients and offer a three year warranty. Even their lumen ratings are based on actual measurements instead of advertising promises. You can buy cheaper LEDs, but you can't buy better ones.

For the side markers, we have the option of amber and red bulbs that use your existing housings, or complete replacement housings that are either white or smoked when off but still light up the right color. Note that the complete housing sets are not made by Diode Dynamics and are sold in packs of four while the bulbs are sold in pairs.

If you have cruise control and you replace all of your brake lights (not tail lights), you'll need to add a resistor to keep the cruise control functioning. If you leave a single incandescent bulb, the cruise control will continue to function with no issues.

About hyperflash: the flasher in your Miata expects some resistance from the light bulbs. If that resistance isn't there, it will flash faster, like you have a blown bulb. That's a clear sign of someone who has replaced their LEDs but hasn't paid any attention to actual function. It's a little embarassing to see. The solution is to either add inline resistors or install an appropriate flasher. We like the second option, but it's your call.

Fantastic Package

Great LED package. Improves visibility so others can see you and really adds a little extra something to the car, without being too over the top. Everything is plug and play, and the resistor kit for the turn signals is fairly easy to install. Just a few crimps, no real wiring needed if you don’t want to. Definitely recommend!

Thank you Flyin' Miata for a great upgrade, and much needed! The level of lighting and updating that LED has over halogen is like night and day literally. I put the 29mm interior bulb on the driver side of my 1993 Miata and it blinks sometimes when driving over road imperfections I don't know if that is the car or the bulb. Also, since it is LED the bulb is a little larger so it does not fit perfectly, but it does provide good lighting and with the light covering plate you never notice the size different. Without the resistor kits installed the signal lights blink about twice as fast as normal.

The bulbs I ordered and installed are as follows:
2 tail light bulbs
1157A HP24 (checkered, centre bulb) - LED front switchbacks rock!
1156A HP48 (white) - Turn signals
1157R (metal) - Tail/brake ligths
921 HP36 (retangles) - Centre brake light of NA
1156 HP11 (yellow) - Reverse lights
