If you have leather seats, they are HID's. 4300k i think.

1. you should really familiarize yourself with this website's search function located right below the RX8club banner at the top of your page. If you use the advanced search, you can have it search 'only thread titles' which helps narrow down your search

2. Some cars came with HID lights and others use halogen bulbs. It depends on what package you have on your particular vehicle. ie; mine is a Grant Touring so the HID's were standard where are the base model has halogen. You should be able to turn on your headlights and easily tell the difference.

3. if you want parking lights that closely resemble the headlights (assuming they're HID) then you want to get an LED that is no higher then 5k

4. BLUE angel eyes? Sorry, can't help you there as the bimmer forums are thattta way ------>
not many have done the angel eye look on our cars mainly because it looks terrible (IMO) and it's not exactly an inexpensive mod. (oh, and have fun baking open your headlamps)

He's asking about angel eye FOG lights (pretty common, cheap, generic fogs on ebay with halo rings built in). That indicates to me that he doesn't have the factory fogs... which means he probably has halogens.

Do you have factory fog lights? If not, you've got halogen headlights and your best match for parking lights is going to be standard bulbs.

Sorry, no info on halo fog lights. I think there's an ebay seller called "blinglights" or something, that sells that kind of stuff.
