MR headlights are going to be HID.

Notice the HID connector on the back of this headlight as well as the HID ballast and foglight.

This is the backside of a NON-HID headlight.

Does the evo have fog lights? If not, you don't have HID's. They go hand-in-hand

05 gsr evos didn't have hid headlights. Looks like someone put hid headlights in yours and didn't do the harness swap that goes with the factory hid headlights. Probably were going to though at some point since the fog light button is there. I restored a wrecked 05 gsr and purchased hid headlights not knowing that the 05 gsr came with halogen headlights and no fogs. You can still make it work though as I did in my car.
