HID retrofit?
 
Does anyone know of any decent kits to retrofit a halogen housing to make it a projector? I would like to add HIDs to my 2010 Ralliart, but I don't want it to look crappy or blind other people, so I want to do it right.

Thanks

Cleanest way is to buy new OEM housings that come with the projectors. They run about 300 a piece I think. Then you will need an HID kit and an D2S bulb adapter I believe. =)

Does it say somewhere if those are the projector housings for sure or not? Those are the only assemblies I found on the site as well, but it does not seem to explicitly say if they are projector or not.

They should be halogen housing from the picture ...
just to let everyone knows the Evo X projector seems to be the same as E55 3in one.

I found a guy in Long Island, NY that'll do the entire retrofit for around 800, including all parts, and labor (including taking the bumper off to get to the headlights..

I think the link is for the Lens + Shroud only .. you'll still need to bake and replace the thing + get HID kit with connector and custom cover.

Pro:
You'll have a more OEM look
Con:
Too expensive for too little "extra" .. you can get FX-R retrofitted with clear lens for the same price with lifetime warranty ... check out http://www.lightwerkz.net/

I don't think you'll need to do any baking if you buy the OEM projector housings...you should be able to install directly in place of your halogen housings and use whatever HID ballast you want. I think.
