Evo-R headlight help

Hey guys,

I had the evo-r headlights on my FD for about a year now and the lighting absolutely sucks! I love how the lights look but how can I improve the lighting? Any help would be much appreciated.


Thanks,

Charlie

I'm currently looking to upgrade mine as well. I think some common Lexus projectors will fit, once you find them, you can use the HID vendor on the website and get the ballasts and bulbs for $60 or so.

Once you find projectors, all you have to do is see what bulb they have (mine have H3), then order the HID kit through the vendor with that bulb for $57. It will come with HID bulbs and the balasts.

Just search on ebay for projectors, I think a 60mm projector will work. I need to measure mine tonight.

They actually fit? I thought the consensus was that there wasn't a way to even install them properly...

What are you referring to? The projectors themselves?

The projectors in mine fit fine, hard to adjust, but i'm working on a mechanism for that.

You definitely cant fit the shrouds that they often come with.
