if you look in the vendor section they got a pretty good deal going 60 shipped...it's hi/low too

if I had a job i'd get these..my friend has a set on his eg6 and his 2.5rs looks pretty good

Do it the real way, Just throwing in HID's into a housing that is meant for halogen bulbs is on the same level as welding your diff, The light output is everywhere, blinds everyone that drives the opposite way and is just overall very cheesy.

To have a real function upgrade HID kit, it must have HID friendly projectors, The FC i believe uses the same housing as the 1st and 2nd gen MR2, Heres a solid upgrade the MR2 community uses, http://www.norcalmr2.com/holiday/

By all means though, if you wanna be "jdm tyte", slap $100 hid's into an h4 housing, weld your diff, zip tie your body together, put spacers on your hood for mad venting and run retarded stretched tires on terrible fitting rims. Now you will be "JDM TYTE".

Interesting!

I like that idea. So for 175ish he sells just the housing, or do they come with HIDs inside?

I couldnt Find a FAQ. Are there any other supporting links? Install pages?
