Sorry to revive and old thread, but I am looking to add an HID kit to my fogs so I can get greater output on backroads at night so I can see farther in the distance than my OEM xenon's and high-beams currently produce. Would adding an HID kit to the fogs allow me to see farther and not interfere with the HID projector beam in the headlights? I'm basically trying to convert my fogs to driving lights, but keep the OEM housings, if that's possible and not too expensive?
With what paulmasoner said regarding D1R HID kits, how would I go about fitting these into the H11 housing of the foglight? Are there H11 to D1R adapters? Will a D2R kit work in the fogs on the Rx8?
Also, regarding actual usage during heavy fog, which I rarely see, but encounter every now and then, should I be looking at 3k mainly, or would 4300 or 6k be fine?

sorry man i dont know about the D1Rs 
just sharing what I do know
the HID fogs wont shine as far as the low beams either because they don't have projectors to direct the light
they are brighter than OEM fogs though and light up the road pretty good close to the car

When you click this link, scroll down a little bit and you will find an HID foglight kit with projector lenses and urrthang.
The beam from the foglight will mix with the beam from the headlight; you'll notice this especially if you are running two different color temperatures, but it shouldn't hinder your nighttime sight

Still looking for a much cheaper and better solution. These are just fog lights anyways, so I'm not looking for something state of that art, just something to get by for a relatively good price that'll last. If it were headlights, that's another story.
