I have a base RX-8 w/o fog lights, so I bought the Mazda multi-tint fog lights. You have a choice between clear (white), blue and the multi-tint.

Install was easy even though I had to remove the front bumper (no problems with that, it's a piece of cake).

For those wondering about the color:
The color output of the multi-tint is really amber/yellow when they're on and they look kind of blue-ish when off. I can post pix if anyone is interested. I don't have step by step pix, but it's really straightforward to install.

At night, with the stock halogens and the fog lights on at the same time, you get a cool looking yellow glow close in to the car at ground level, with the regular white of the halogens taking over as you look further out. Not sure how well the multi-tints would integrate with the HID's, but they really look sharp with the halogens.

I'm probably not going to do the rewire to control the foglights separately from the headlights - I kind of like it with both on at the same time. They seemed to work well together in the fog and rain in central/ south NJ this morning.

$262 plus shipping from Rosenthal.

 

I installed the "super white" fog lights I got off Ebay, on Saturday. $60 shipped.

Now all my lights are white/bluish (I've already done the side markers and driving lights)! :D

No more of that yellow crap

 

To each his own.

 

I guess because i have the Xenons, the yellow looks really bad. I've never seen what the halogens look like, but I'll take your word for it that they suit the bulbs you just installed.

 

any pictures i wanna see..........

 

Post pics of the output color.

 

Here's some pix. I like the look of it. The camera kind of blurs the yellow, but it's a pretty crisp yellow/ amber color.

 

Yeah, see those match...now all your lights look the same colour.

With the Xenons, they're bright white/bluish and the driving lights, fogs, and side markers have a yellowish hue...bad combination IMO.

Yours looks good. Nice mod!

 

Those go perfectly with the color of your car, good choice.

 

looks great! Was there any splicing involved in the install? Do the fogs turn on with a button, or whenever the daytime running lights are on?

 

No theres a wiring harness with a connector on the end that's taped to another harness. You can't miss it when you have the bumper off. Cut the tape, extend the harness and the connector just plugs into the fog light.

The kit came with a new turn signal stalk to replace the original one. The new stalk has the fog light switch. Fogs only come on when the headlights are on. I'm still debating whether to rewire it so the fog lights can be operated independently of the headlights.

 

appreciate the reply

Weird, I noticed it shows the fog lens blue on that pic. But wouldn't it be a yellow tint, like that ebay link has it as? Hmm.. If that's the case, it'd look bad on my VR.

 

What the difference in "flavors?" Is it the lens, or the bulb? I want to make mine more blue-ish but don't want to have to buy new lamps.
