For those who haven't recieved your cars yet.....I found few pictures that really capture the look of the Xenon headlamps. I think this one is close.

i really wish all the lights, the running lights and fog lights, were the same color or at least a bright white...now you have 3 different colors illuminating...

too bad we didn't have a choice in fog light color

You do have a choice in the fog light colors.
There is Blue Tint, Multi-Color Tint, and clear.

check out the Rx-8
accesories catalogue

I think both the tint options would go well with the xenons.

Sure, if you buy them as accessories. But the standard fitment foglights that come with every package except the base model (in the US) come in white only.

Am i the only one that notices that on the horizon of the beam, towards the middle it slants down for no reason? It does it on mine also, and it pisses me off, i wish it was a strait beam of light. Does anyone know why it does this?

Possibly to reduce the amount of light hitting oncoming drivers in the face.

Well, I suspect so the lights don't totally blind the driver in front of you. But I also thought they had an auto-leveling feature to keep the headlights pointed at the road no matter the angle of the car. That way you can see going up hills and such, instead of the beams of light shooting over the crest.

Or, could be I'm just crazy.

i meant it should have been a port choice...i don't want to have to pay $200 for another pair of fog lights...

i wonder, can we just change out the bulbs? has anyone even looked into this yet?

eccles

It's called a Z-beam, and all good lights do it. It's designed to cast more light on the near side of the road without dazzling oncoming traffic.

that's what i'm talking about! look how wide it is!!! great pic!

Of course you can change the bulb in the foglight. You just need to take the bulb out and find out what type it is. I changed my blinker in the back to red instead of orange.

i think the lights have a break in period

Shocka

mine are blue 2 and ive only been used for show.. cars never been driving in the dark yet

RXhusker

Mine are definitely very blue -- no yellow cast to them. I would check and make sure you really don't have the base halogen lamps.

Elara

This is kind of funny, because on the left, after the little drop-off, my lights have a yellow cast on the top. On the right, it's blue/purple.

Anyway, somewhere in the forum, there is a post about the Xenons having a break-in period. Whether that's true or not, I don't know.

And I don't think you'll have ANY confusion knowing whether or not you have the xenons--there really is no comparison. I can honestly say I will never drive another car that has halogen headlights voluntarily.

thklam

Well
my light is definitely Xenon
It is really white and bright
But the only thing is the top part of the light are kind of yellow
It doesnt effect much
but I just dont like any yellow on my light

thklam

My friend got his car last sat.
I checked his light
His one is just same as my one
I'm from Australia
Maybe you guys got different light than our one
