I was wondering what is involved to convert an evo that doesn't have HID's to the stock set up. I heard the bulbs ballasts and some kind of harness. Someone please help me out thinking about buying an evo without them.

 

Just go to xenoneyes.com or ebay or amazon and find a D2S converision kit. 2 easy, and cheaper then the oem. Just put your type of car etc etc in the drop down box.

 

The car already has an aftermarket kit. I hate those aftermarket kits because the quality is ****. I have a $250 bi xenon mcculoch or whatever on my honda and the bulbs are so dim after a year of use I can't see at night. Every non oem kit ive ever had has been like that.

From what I have heard the xenon gas escapes from the bulbs over time and use making them dimmer. Im sure there is some of that on the oem set up but after 6 years of use my buddies evo is still bright. NEED INFO ON OEM ONLY.

 

LoL I've owned nothing but aftermarket 8K bulbs on every vehicle I've owned and I've never had a problem. If you want OEM learn to use the search function..

Type in D2S OEM HID or something of that sort.

Learn? I did do it just never found that. Thanks

 

If your handy with doing HID retrofits, you could buy the ballasts for the Evo and HID D2's bulbs, install them into your stock lights and then buy from the Retrofitsource a set of Morimoto bi xenon projectors and their superb ballast and retrofit them into your high beam reflectors, make a custom shroud and your away.

I would have a look on HIDplanet.com for all you need to know.

HTH's or gives you a good idea for a neat conversion!

 

I have done this conversion.

You'll need different plugs (pig tails) or the complete front harness for the HID lights. You could also cut off the HID plugs and just splice the wires together.

I was lucky enough to find some HID pigtails from a wrecked HID car. I used those and also added a relay with thicker wire since the stock non HID wire was a thinner gauge than the HID pig tail wire. Just need basic electrical skills to find which wire goes where.

Evo 8 and Evo 9 have the same plugs so if you find a wrecked 8, you could use the pig tails.

I didn't do the same wiring with 2 relays but it will give you an idea.
