If I wanted to swap halogens for hids in my 05 MR, is it a direct plug and play swap, or is rewiring involved?
Cheers,

 

i just gotta ask why you would wont to do this. is it because you save like 20 pds or something.

 

if I can remember there was a thread pretty recent stating that it won't fit without major tampering

 

hey, if you swap your hids for halogens then I'll buy your hids.

 

why you want to do that

 

i will tread you with my 05 gsr light

 

The car is going to be raced so I would like to save the weight. I am aware that trying to upgrade from halogens to hids is difficult, but how about the other way round? An answer from someone who really knows would be appreciated.
Cheers,

 

the weight you save on tis will not help you. find another way to save weight on the car.

 

Excuse me, but in my experience every little thing helps.

 

It is a very good location to remove weight also.

 

Does anyone have an answer?

 

go on a diet lol

 

Exactly. Weight removal there can have a much bigger effect, per lb, on the polar moment of inertia than removing weight in the middle of the car. It will probably improve balance as well.
