Ive been running the kit for a while and I like it. Im using 8000K for both headlights and foglights. Im tempted to change my foglight bulbs to 3000K yellow does anyone have any pictures or opinions of this?

Okay so I want to purchase these and I was wondering..
Do I purchase from this link..
http://www.vvme.com/standard-h8h11-h...cPath=44_45_24
or from this link

Doesn't the Rx8 come stock with HID headlights? So why would I buy a HID conversion? I bought "HID" fogs off eBay awhile back and simply replaced them with the stock fogs.. no ballasts or anything just a clean swap..
If someone could explain this to me that would be great lol

If you bought "HID's" and they were a quick swap for the fogs with no ballast, then they weren't HID's. You bought halogen's with HID printed on the box, most likely tinted to resemble HID look. Did they have a filament (HID's do not.) Also, other than 3300k, HID's will have clear glass.
RX8 does have stock HID's if you have anything other than the base model. If you are looking to convert your fogs, you want the top kit, if you want to change the bulb color of stock HID's, you want the second kit in D2S.

Quick question if anyone can help me out. About to install a 12v 55w HID kit for my fogs. Most people recommend 35w but I saw that our stock halogen bulbs are also 12v 55w so I figured I'd give the 55w kit a shot. Not trying to start an electrical fire or anything though.. anyone know for sure if I'll need a relay harness? Thanks for any help!

55 watt HIDs take an enormous surge to start up, and will definitely blow the stock fuse.
A larger fuse MAY get you by, but realistically a relay harness should be a part of any 55w conversion.
