Late night post... I met with some friends in downtown san jose to hang out, and when I got back to my car at 1:30 it was bombarded with vanilla and chocolate milkshakes. Found three cups by my drivers side door.....just my little rant before bed as I ask myself the question WHY?!?!?!

Hi peeps. Representing the east bay area: Hayward-Union-Newark-Fremont area. I brought a GG RX-8 several weeks ago and having a blast. Although my car is pretty high in miles (105k) I am loving every minute of driving it. I do need some work done, check my other post about brake overhaul and other problems : ( Just want to chime in! I love the the 8!

-Chris

sounds like big puddles and or the gasket on the light bulbs themself getting old or cracking...
At least its easy getting to the fog light bulbs...
10 min job to change bulbs or at least the new gasket on the bulb...
I hope your housing itself does not have a crack around it or have a leak.

remove the bumper, remove the fog light, pour out water, dry it out, reinstall everything. Should take you no longer than 1 hour to do everything

I got to my fog lights by taking the 3 bottom screws off and then reaching right up there...
But to take it off completely yeah thats a different story...
I would first see if the bulb didnt just get unscrewed from its spot...
Since there is no backing and the bulbs screws into spot...
Then get new bulbs...

there is a vent tube that needs to be pointing down towards the ground. when you check the fog lamps make sure that tube hasnt shifted.
