hey guys so i was curious to know if evo 8 rs headlights would work on my evo 8 gsr. i know they dont have hid and fogs and all that but im really just trying to buy them for the housing. my question is is it possible to swap all my gsr compnonents like the ballast,leveling motor, bulbs etc to the rs headlight housing? i dont know if the housings for the rs are differantly then the gsr;s. thanx in advance

 

Housings are different.

 

damn so they wont fit at all? im not afraid to do a little modyfing of wires or harnesses and what not

Its all good.here's rs headlight.I have gsr and don't see any differences just rs comes without hids.

 

The fog light part is covered sorta like a delete so ya the housings are different.

 

yeah idk. i was thinking about just removing the lense and swapping it over to mine because thats really the only part i need i just dont know if its worth the trouble. maybe paint the housing black will im at it idk. but clearly there is mixed answers so ill keep researching to be sure thanks guys!

 

Yes its possible to take the lense from a RS headlight and use it on a GSR non-HID or GSR HID headlight. I have done this before.

 

awsome thanks for the input!!

 

the lenses for all the headlights are the same.

the HID evos are different than the non-HID as they have foglights. the gsr (aside from 2003) and the rs headlights are the same

I think the 2003 was the only year to come stock with hids...

 

2004 also came stock with HID

 

Having had the opportunity to play with the halogen and hid headlights on the same car I can tell you that both headlight units work in both platforms.

Putting the HID's in the non HID headlight housing is very very tricky and not advised, better to just keep the HIDs as is, or get a decent HID kit to fit the halogen housing. The lenses are also different, HID and Non HID, took one of my damaged HID lights apart to see if they could be retro'd into the non hid housing.

So yes you can put the GSR lights into the RS, you just will not have foglight functionality but I do recall a thread showing how you can wire the fogs up using relays and what not. I hope this helps.

 

GSR is the fastest one listed go with that and drop a type R engine in and you're good to go. I personally prefer the headlights on the LS.

Aw come on, I get a thumbs down for saying the same thing as sean only fumbling on the headlights? You people are fickle! Fickle I say!
