lights
I am having an issue with my headlights-about 100 ft and there is a black line and then the lights no longer penetrate the darkness I thought the lights needed to focused. Can anybody provide any answers? thanks

If they're working correctly, then the problem is you, not the car. Have you considered using high beam?

Thanks for the advice. Are the HID lights the small gas filed ones that come with the grand touring package? I will try again- when we were driving in the city the lights were no problem. We live out in the country and the road was very hilly and dark. When the brights were on I had no problem. We (hubby and I) just had no experience with those types of lights before.

Anyway, the sharp cutoffs are a characteristic of the projector lamp style lights used on the RX-8 (and S2000 for that matter.)
Many other vehicles have a much less sharp cutoff for their HIDs, notably the Audi TT and Porsches.
