If your car didn't come with HIDs, you need a conversion kit.

I figured that but it's not a simple swap. To use all OEM equipment would cost 2 to 4 times what it would to go aftermarket. You'd need the HID equipped headlight housing, you'd need the bulbs, you'd need all the wiring and all the switches. I wouldn't be surprised if that cost over a thousand dollars right now. By comparison you can buy a conversion kit for 150$-400$ depending on what you want.

Why didn't you just get the Recaro package with the HIDs?? Everything would be factory...the cost would be rolled into the loan and there is a lot less hassle.

-Quote- See if Lightwerkz is willing to work with you and see if they could do a retrofit for a Ralliart! That would be the one of the best solutions and cleanest. They would be S2000 or TSX projectors. http://www.lightwerkz.net/ -Quote- thanks ill check it out PS:my last resort is the dealership {thumbdwn} |
Maybe you can find lights from a wrecked Evo that had the projectors and HIDs. I gotta admit.. I HATE the lights in my WRX. They are total garbage compared to my wifes Scion TC with projectors so I can understand why you wanna upgrade.

We tried swapping HID lights into a non-hid evo X. The factory wiring is different and it will not work. Same would go for the Ralliart.
You will have problems with an HID kit in a standard Evo/Ralliart too. The car uses the lowbeam light at reduced voltage as the daytime running light. This will throw the ballast of an HID kit into a frenzy and you would have to make sure you turn the headlights on before the daytime running lights activated. |
just upgrade the bulbs
