JDM IX Headlight conversion from Non-HID Evo IX Headlight

Here's the deal I've done some researching and there's no real answer to my question: I have a non-HID Evo IX so I have the regular halogen headlights, the JDM IX Headlights that I have seem to use HIDs, but they do not have the foglight support. I would like to get a set of aftermarket HIDs to make the JDM heads work but is there an easy plug and play from the JDM 8 pronged to the US 4 prong??? Any suggestions on which HID kits, connectors, wiring diagrams to make it happen? Thanks.

Its easy

1. D2s HID kit (stock HID projector needs a D2S bulb), however you need the 9006 power plug conversion to power the ballast from the stock non-hid engine harness
2. Reuse your halogen 4-prong wire harness for your turn signal/corner light
3. JDM lights come with 9006 fogs, if you want to run these, you need 9006 bubls, power harness+switch

However, JDM light come with a RHD cut-off which sucks, so expect reduced visibility at night unless you do a USDM HID projector swap
