im looking all over in the forms and i cant find something that can help me install this kit, any luck?

 

ferg: what kind of fogs?

 

OEM with everything to it

 

picture wasnt' loading, sorry.

I thought there was a DIY on this? hmmm, lemme go look.

 

Those are oem fogs for super cheap from AZexpressparts or whatever on ebay. I bought the ones with blue tint. Its extremely simple to install. It comes with everything you need. The instructions are very detailed as well. You change out your light switch on the steering column and remove the bumper and the fogs just plug directly into your car (all rx8s without fogs are already pre-wired so its just plug and play).

I'm by no means smart with car stuff AT ALL and i was able to pull this one off no problem.

 

yeah i got the blue ones to but i have to remove the bumper? im trying to get away from the base model looking rx8, MT one

 

Yes if you notice on your 8 where fogs SHOULD go there are plastic things that fill that spot. You have take off your front bumper though. (i know there's a DIY to take off the front bumper on here and thats very simple to do as well) Looking on the inside of your bumper, those plastic things are screwed in. All you have to do is unscrew them and take them off and screw your fogs into the spot.

Its kinda hard to describe on here, but once you actually take off your bumper you should see what i'm talking about. Its very very simple and the instructions are very detailed. Just take your time. I think it took me about an hour and a half to do everything just b/c I'm not very smart at this kind of stuff and I wanted to make sure I didn't screw anything up.

 

Slow and cautious is good!

Although.......now I can take that front bumper off in about 1-2 minutes.

 

im sure i will install new bulbs but i just want to get the front looking better and i got the clear side lights at the same time , they will be here monday ,yay

 

Very true.. i've done it so many freakin times now its about a 10 minute process to take off the bumper.. although now that i have fogs it takes a little longer cuz i always struggle taking off the damn clips that plug into them!!

 

Heck yeah.. install that stuff monday and kill two birds with one stone! Gotta take off the side markers to take off the bumper and when you get it back on you can replace them with the clears!

 

Yep..............Don't have to take the bumper off for the clears, but you will take it off for the fogs and that makes you at least kinda take out the side markers, so might as well do it at once.

 

now i just have to look for a DIY for the bumper, or someone can comeover lol

 

You can't afford me!

Well.....we've now taught him to fish, so he'll start feeding himself anytime now!

 

Hey ferg.. the thing on the far right of the picture that is protruding towards the camera is what you unscrew and replace with the fog. There is also one on the other side.

 

thank you so much for helping me out guys, ill be working on it as soon as it gets here, the bumper seems easy to take off

 

Nerve-racking the first time, but is easy after that.

 

Hey maz... check the thread below this.. i got a question for ya

Hahaha awesome.. good to get a nice long drive with the car. Btw i suggest modding your fogs so that you can turn them on separately.. and perhaps get an HID kit for them.. otherwise these fogs are useless. I've yet to do either but thats one of my next projects after I get my metra kit installed

 

i want them to turn on when the headlights turn on just like the side markers to be white with out the crome inside them, and that should do it for the front, i was thinking if i can find light body kits that are painted already so i can just install them my self, nothing bold
