They have a very high ignition voltage, but that's what the ballast is for. But once they are running they use less current, as stated before.

 

Ive been running the kit for a while and I like it. Im using 8000K for both headlights and foglights. Im tempted to change my foglight bulbs to 3000K yellow does anyone have any pictures or opinions of this?

 

I've got 3000k HID fogs. I like them, I have them for function rather than looks (yellow is lower glare than bluish.) My reflectors are stock (still have the anti-glare thing in them.)

Alucard thanks for sharin that site, got the 6000k's, simple install, inexpensive and completely polished off the look i was going for. You Rock!

 

^^^ thanks

 

Have the 6k headlights and now just picked up some 10000k fogs....

 

Okay so I want to purchase these and I was wondering..

Do I purchase from this link..

Doesn't the Rx8 come stock with HID headlights? So why would I buy a HID conversion? I bought "HID" fogs off eBay awhile back and simply replaced them with the stock fogs.. no ballasts or anything just a clean swap..

If someone could explain this to me that would be great lol

 

If you bought "HID's" and they were a quick swap for the fogs with no ballast, then they weren't HID's. You bought halogen's with HID printed on the box, most likely tinted to resemble HID look. Did they have a filament (HID's do not.) Also, other than 3300k, HID's will have clear glass.
RX8 does have stock HID's if you have anything other than the base model. If you are looking to convert your fogs, you want the top kit, if you want to change the bulb color of stock HID's, you want the second kit in D2S.

 

Alright, thank ya greatly

 

You have to remove the bumper uh? For the fog bulbs?

 

Ya unless you have gumby arms

 

^ lol..

Where's the vleds thread? I bought some 194's and one was damaged..

 

I didn't remove the bumper, but I did remove the splash guards and didn't remove the glare blocker thingys.

 

Quick question if anyone can help me out. About to install a 12v 55w HID kit for my fogs. Most people recommend 35w but I saw that our stock halogen bulbs are also 12v 55w so I figured I'd give the 55w kit a shot. Not trying to start an electrical fire or anything though.. anyone know for sure if I'll need a relay harness? Thanks for any help!

 

55 watt HIDs take an enormous surge to start up, and will definitely blow the stock fuse.

A larger fuse MAY get you by, but realistically a relay harness should be a part of any 55w conversion.

^ Alright thanks, ill have to look into that. Don't believe the kit comes with a relay harness though.. hopefully I can pick one up @ a local auto store.

 

^ You really have to remove the bumper. That's the only way, unless you have snake arms.

 

You don't have to remove the front bumper, but jacking it up makes it easier. A couple screws and you just pull the side under tray back and the back of the fog is right there.

 

One of my buddy did it that way with his rx8 when one of his fog lights cracked. Now i know the easy way, thanks.

 

here is a recent one of the HID fogs

 

VThis is one badass picture !

 

That looks amazing^^
