TX EVO-R RE HID Sleek Headlights.

How on earth do I hook these lights up.
Only instructions I have are :
& then the website that doesn't give me enought info.

I have some none stock headlights in when I bought it Hate the look of those.

Here is my Current Wire setup:
Not sure what is stock, and what came with my old (non stock) lights.



I think this is the stock wiring pluging into a realy

I think this is a fuse

Here are my new lights

Where do I plug in the wires

I'm guessing here somewhere

Any help is much appreciated.
I love the look of my new lights Hate the look of my other lights and want my car back lol.

those wires connected to the relay are the aftermarket part of your old headlights.... pull it out of the bulb socket and put them away with your old headlights, the next person that will have them will need that. They probably had some halo's or something built into them.
now you just connect the HID's up... the ballast has a wire that should go connected to your bulb socket... do the Evo-R's have halo's??

Stock Wiring? (not 100% sure)


How I think I should hook it up:


Wires have differnt hook ups (not sure why), thought maybe had to do something with the stock lights.

Use a multimeter to test the wires on the stock plug. One should be ground and the other 2 for low/high beam. Something like that anyways, It's been awhile since I did my aftermarket lights but a multimeter will tell you everything you need to do to get the job done. It's the single most important tool for any electrical wiring. If you don't have one you need one, and get one with an audible alarm for continuity testing. Makes things so much easier.

TX Don't get these pieces of crap :(

Go a different route, you're not going to be happy if you buy these.

They are crap made, nothing fits right, screw don't screw in all the holes, screw holes not in the right spot, bulbs are also crap made.
You can just barely adjust the lights around.

Crap crap crap made.

I'm still going to post some pictrues, but I wish i'd saved my money

You think if they put a even a little effort into making these things it would work better then this crap.

I had a body shop put them in when I was trying to get it to line up better by putting washer after washer on it.
sigh, you'll see the pictures I would pay $100 for these things.

O and still never got a reply from my emails

Jeez, I'm so glad that I never went the EVO-R route. I hope they are reading this. Have you guys tried calling them? Are they Vendors on this site? Or have you contacted RX7Store.net they seem to sell them: http://www.rx7store.net/product_p/ev...ight%20kit.htm

They claim to also have a 1 Year Warranty. That should be against defects right?

This guy from EVO-R was really easy to reach and responded promptly to my emails before I purchased the lights. He said there is the option of full refund if not satisfied. I wont accept any defects and work arounds. If its doesnt fit straight from box I will try to return these lights. I will let you know how everything worked out.

I have them, they came with my car, the fitment around the fender and hood is not the best. and the light that does not receive input from the ballast (high beam on mine) barely has output. I'm looking for an extra set of balasts for my high beams now.
