I bought a pair of 55w yellow ion bulbs off of ebay for my VR 8. They looked pretty good until one burn out a month later, cheap bulbs! Before those, I had a pair of 80w hyper white bulbs which produce a white/bluish light. I didn't really like the color so I swapped them out with the yellow ones. When I did I noticed one bulb had a bulge in it, must be the heat.
If you swap bulbs make sure they are the same wattage at the stock bulbs. I like the yellow film idea, I think I might go that route next.

Are you gonna do a DIY to post in here on the forum? I'd like to see how this turned out. I'll check back when you post pics!

So, do JDM RX8s have yellow or white lights?
My Sera's factory fogs are yellow (plastic!) lenses; I personally think they are much better in real, British fog than normal lenses.

RX8 HA HA
well there are 2 different types of clear coats you can use, one of them (which i am not going to reccomend) could strip your coat of stained glass paint right off. I will find out tommorow for you.
