10000 k bulbs are worthless.

ya i went on an ordered 8K lights. Sorry if some of you thought this was a "common sense question" but i really don't know much about rx8's and specs of them. I've only had mine for like a month. I do appreciate everyone's help though


to dhan: HID fogs are next on my list after headlights its already lowered and i put some enkei ev-5 hyper black 18's wrapped in nitto rubber on it a week or so ago. Once i get the HID's im movin on to performance upgrades

RX: the HID fogs are very cool but can be kinnda pricey to be honest. I wanted to do them for a while but there aren't really any 'plug and play' kits for us. (unless things have changed)

you should look into the hoen bulbs. www.hoen-usa.com
I've used them for years with great success.

ya i noticed they were pretty expenseive and would like a cheaper alternative, all i gotta say about your fogs is wow those look sick. All you had to do was replace the bulbs with the ones on the site? Which bulbs fit rx8's?

YUP, direct swap. just take out the old bulbs and put in the hoen H11 bulbs.
also, you'll notice I have the foglight rewire mod done on my car. (foglights on without the headlights having to be on)

there's a thread in the DIY subforum on how to do it. pretty simple stuff
