any tips for me or anyone else thinking to do the same?

TIA
#1....buy HID kit from Xenondepot (it's not a cheazy kit, and i feel it's worth the $$)

#2....remove stock bumper. it'll make it alot easier...trust me.........(if you have a base GSR, you won't have to deal with the intercooler spray bottle hose, so removal is a cinch). kdogg has a pretty good write-up here in the how-to's section.....but again...no intercooler spray hose makes it easier..... https://www.evolutionm.net/forums/sh...ad.php?t=67956

#3...install bulbs and lights. (they are phillips bulbs..so they are good quality...and they don't get hot like some aftermarkets)...just plug and play....

#4....wire it up....it's pretty straight forward, and there are easy instructions.....PM me for exact details if you want....

#5 ....turn on car and test lights....


#6...if all works good...re-install bumper and hit the road....

good luck..

For all who inquired about the HIDs, they look super clean....looks OEM, a lilttle brighter in color, w/ very clean cut off. I have the oem HIDs and I really like wickeds HIDs.

Side by side, they look pretty close, and it is pretty hard to tell them apart, unless you stare really close. I have to say though...the stock EVO HID's are hard to beat. Though I'm VERY happy with the aftermarket Phillips kit, it is a bit more scattered than I would like.

OEM is more solid and well-rounded. Aftermarket is a liiiittle bit broken up. But man...compared to the stock halogens...it's black and white, and to me...well worth the $$.

Visibility is very good. I can't tell from inside the car...it looks alot brighter to me, and the road lights up very nice, with a pretty clean cutoff line.......

Installation was a bit challenging, but not hard....you'll have to pull the front clip in order to install them.....PM me if you need help....
ahhh u serious?

I have to pull the front bumper off
arrggghhhh

Man I would trade my aem anyday for that blitz induction cover. You just gave me a new DIY project. Im going to make the shroud with my stock cover and it will still utilize the cold air scoop.

For a base GSR, there aren't any foglights.......but on the stock OEM with SSL, the bulb is an H11.....

follow this link to another thread...I have a pic of my other buddy's EVO with an HID upgrade on the stock foglight.....

yup..u gotta pull the front clip...but the GSR isn't as bad...I pulled the front clip off my friends 03, and we had to be careful not to bust the intercooler spray tube...but it still went smooth....

...and no...i didn't have to adjust the headlights too much....but honestly...you won't have to....

I think SSL is mitsu talk for the Sun,Sound,and Leather package. That is the only way that 05 GSR's get the HID's
