Talking HID's or reg headlamps

This question is for the UK EVO 7 owners.

Do your EVO 7's come with HID?

Thanks,
Victor

SO, I take it that NOBODY has an EVO7 that lives in the UK??? Is it that hard to answer that question. I know they make HID conversion kits.

I think the Japanese EVO 7 GSR is in HID and it also has a built in foglamps in the headlight assy (the third hole on the inner part of the headlight)

It will be better to upgrade to an aftermarket HID than buying the original from

The low beam is HB4, I think Philips has a complete conversion kit (w/ ballast), I just don't know if they are available in your country.

The thing I hate about HID is that when it rains, it's like driving w/o headlights.

Yes I can get some for you but I will have to check the prices first. Anybody who wants the HID conversion kit ("PHILIPS" brand - actually there are many other brands made in Taiwan and Korea but it's better we get it from a well-known company like Philips) for the EVO7, reply to this thread so that I know how many wants it so I can bargain it with my supplier. The more people interested, the more bargaining power we have.

I can get you guys "Plug-andPlay" HID kits from HIDPlus. Go to www.import-store.com ; my friend owns that place. I have it in my Lancer, and it seems to be working well. The BMW version is 6500k i think, but these are 7000k. Check out his site, and tell him Peter sent you.
