Non HID to OEM HID conversion?
Does anyone know if it is possible to put OEM HID's on to an Evo IX with no HID's? I don't see a whole lot of posts on this~

I'm wondering if it is even possible and how much it would run me.

THanks!

As long they are 9006 bulbs (Low beam), you should be fine. Also you will need the proper ballast for the bulbs. But it is possible.

I would say that you are going to need the HID headlights, hid ballats, and maybe some of the wire harness from a factory HID equipped evo for it to work correctly.
