it is my understanding that my evo IX headlights w/o SSL is NOT the same as the SSL headlights. obviously they look similar, but intuitively, they can't possibly be the same projector.

if anyone who has cracked open the SSL and non-SSL and examined closely, your input would be appreciated.

 

Has anyone saw the red HID's on the HKS EVO?

 

Wow... Thank you all for leading this thread to nowhere. I really appreciate all comments.

I installed 5300K kit I bought from this guy. I had to use slight force to install HID bulbs but it worked great

It was one of EvoM member's referral to that e-bay guy and the service I get from him was excellent. With $259.99, I do not think any other vendors can beat that price unless it's groupbuy.

For the installation, if you research, you will be able to find this

For the people that worries EVO9's projector being inferior compare to Evo with OEM HIDs, I can tell you this.
I have installed 2 other HID kits on non-projector cars and the result always has been good. With Evo9 projector, the cutoffs were much better, I mean clearer and sharper.

It was truly day and night differnece after the installation.
