Fog Light Question

Okay,

I'm tired of searching. I have an MS bumber and want to put on HID 6k fog lights to match my head lights and 6k LED parking bulbs I ordered from vled.

6K WHITE 4 LED 2W HIGH POWER BULBS 194 168 158 | 1 PAIR

I'm planning on using Racing Beat's relocation bracket for the install.

RX8: : Fog Light Relocation Bracket - For Type II Nose -

Is my best option to purchase stock fog lights (way expensive!) and buy a HID 6k conversion kit?

I have not been able to find any fog lights that are already 6k that look like they would even come close to fitting.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you.

Best bet would to be to buy these : New 2004 2008 Mazda RX 8 RX 8 Factory Fog Light Set FE03 V7 220 Blue Tint | eBay
These are OEM and include the switch.
cheapest youll find! i got mine from him and so did a friend

And get the racing beat type 2 relocation then buy an HID conversion kit.

I just put my fogs on last week with the relocation brackets from Racing beat, it looks sweet!



Friends:

The conversion kit won't fit.

An HID capsule is about 15mm longer than a halogen bulb, and will ground out on the shield inside.

If you take the shield out with pliers, it shines in everyones eyes.

Then someone takes a baseball bat to your fogs.....
