I really wanted the genuine RE Amemiya but hated the IPF lights that it uses, so I opted to get the Rotary Extreme kit with the Carbon Fiber buckets and HID, I like the projector beam better than the regular lights even when it is HID.
All I did was purchase the RE Amemiya Lens covers and now it is a perfect combination.
The EVO-R kit is nice but they should have used a bigger light combination so it would look better, they just seem to small for the kit.

Sorry I have not posted any pics yet, will do very soon. I don't want to badmouth a company or anything, but the lights are crappy. The projectors don't light up the road, no, they are not better than stock ones. I even put Silvania Silverstar bulbs, same thing, just slightly better, can't see **** at night.
If I had the option, which I still do, I would get rid of my lights, install my original pop-ups with clear lenses and that is it. Or I could use the money for my paint job to get the RE with HID which are $2200 from Ramy. I wish I would have listened to Ramy, but I didn't, LOL, and now I am cursing my Evo-R lights.
PS: It looks like part of the kit was pirated from another kit, at least the base. The projectors suck, LOL, and that is an understatement. I will see what I can do to lower one of the bases just a tad bit more so it sits flush with the hood, this ia after I get mynew hood and front bumper. I will have the pics soon.

Yeah im considering headlight kits because i want to be able to drive good at night/same time make the car look modern.
I LOVE the way the pop ups look, but when they are down.
When they're up, it makes the car look weird IMHO and it actually obstructs visibility.
I remember i was driving home from a car meet before and i almost hit a cone merging lane because i couldnt see the damn cones merge 2 lanes together lol
Thank god i was going rather slow for some reason but any faster and i would go right through the cones lol
All i have are sylvania bulb upgrades.

The EVO-R kits are garbage. Fitment is terrible, and the way they go together is seriously lacking. Had them and sold them. Light output is ok with the 90mm, but I had Silverstars in them, and it took a little while to get them them all lined up right. There was a headlight kit I found on some site a while back that had a billet aluminum housing that went into the pop ups with projector headlights, and it actually looked really nice. Not that it helps since I don't remember where it was. lol

i've had a set of evo-r 60mm projector sleeks with their HID option, i plan to scrap their projector and retrofit a decent pair with a nicer HID kit
has anyone done this before? i got my hands on a pair of rx350 headlights and i haven't torn anything apart yet
