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.
too bad RTX is not around anymore

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.

Probably about 2 ounces for every question mark you used

From all the reading I've done on the forum, the Evo-R kit is a poorly made copy and the company offers shitty customer service to boot

If you want to drive your car at night do not buy them. I have them, the quaility sucks and the light out puts even worse

Thanks for the heads up.

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.

I had a set of genuine Knightsports pop-ups on my car for 3 days & thought the light output was shocking....Its worse than stock (Stock with decent bulbs mind). Not only that...The fitment is fairly poor, gaps and such. It also leaves bolts showing (Not an issue for some...But I think it looks untidy).

Cant wait to get my SakeBomb retrofits....

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
