For the statewide event, where it is being held is roughly 460 miles from el paso. Straight shot on I-10. so at least 1k miles for the trip.
That being said. There are going to be a lot of 8's from many areas showing up. And hopefully we can get 4 EP 8's to show. with 4 people in a room it is pretty cheap. Check out the thread https://www.rx8club.com/texas8-171/%2A%2A2009-rx8-texas-statewide-event%2A%2A-168225/.
All details are there. it is awhile away but if any of us plan to go we need to know who is going ASAP so we can make reservations at the hotel.

Hey guys... when are we going to be doing the fog light wire tap procedure? Doesn't it have to be during the day? not when its dark. I'm thinking about getting HID fog lights. Can anyone recommend me where I can get those for my 8?

^^ yeah dude, the fogs are h11s so all you would need to do is find an h11 HID kit.
Once you find that, make sure you get a matching relay harness. This connects the the ballasts for the bulbs directly to the battery so that you don't risk frying the stock wires. The relay harnesses are cheap anyway, so its not a biggie.

Is this the kind man? If not can you find me the xenon fog lights... I'm kind of confused with the title of the product ,they show different HID models such as "H1, H4, H7, 9006, 9007" I'm not to sure if that kit is the right one for my car and can you also plz show me where I can get the harness from too.

Aj, ebay is the way to go for hids, the reason why it has all of the bulb sizes is cuz whenever you buy the kit you have to choose your bulb size and color tempature....most of the kits on eBay are plug and play so you won't need the relays .... And yeah the fogs are h11's.... I don't have the eBay member name from where I got my last set but I'll get it asap and send it to you ....I got one of my friends a set of slim ballast hid kit for both his headlights and fogs for about $160...so like $80 a pop

^^Yeah what he said about the bulb type and color temp, you just specify when ordering.
About the relay, it will work without one, but you risk burning your wires in the long run since they are only made to support the current that the stock halogens draw.
The relay connects the ballasts directly to the battery so you eliminate that risk, only using the stock harness as a "switch".
The relay will also just be plug n play with the HID kit that you decide. Just search ebay for h11 relay harness, and they are relatively inexpensive, maybe 15-20 bucks.
Really up to you though man.
