Well i cant find any really good info on this so im sure some of you guys who mess with the headlights will know off the top of your head, i have a set of HID evo 8 headlights both the lenses and mounting bracket arer broken so naturally i need new headlights. So can i buy just the housing off of a cheaper non hid headlights and put bolt the stock hid setup on them? I have a feeling its a no....

 

you can put your HIDs in a headlight housing...pretty sure you can atleast...some work needs to be done though

 

will the oem usdm hid fit the jdm headlight hosuing?

 

I'm almost positive it does for the fact that they are the same size bulb

 

so if im wanting to go back with HID headlights, and i just need the housing's, which ones would i need to look for? usdm, jdm??? im getting a bit confused, i have the USDM stock hid setup that comes with the 03 evo had the silver housing. im wanting to go back with the MR type housing black with lowerr amber lights on bottom, can it be done

 

yeah, just buy some JDM MR headlights for HID, they're usually around $600-$700 for both of them. if you just want a replacement headlight for the one that's busted(USDM), on the net they're around $360 each. the HID ballasts are interchangeable between both, they're just different colored housings and turn signals.

 

You can just buy the MR headlights from one of the many vendors on here. When you buy the housings you need to swap your HIDs into it. That what we all have to do. I did this when my JDM housings came in. It is a simple process. About 5 minutes per headlight.

yeah..you can simply buy the JDM MR headlights, swap over the bulbs//ballasts

I personally would swap the projectors as well to get the correct cut off, but its a bit more involved than the bulb/ballast swap

Or you can just a pair of HID housings only from evo dave

 

so i have to get the housing that is ment for hid from what you guys are telling me.

 

yes you do. If you have OEM mitsu HID's then you will need to get the OEM HID headlights. Reason being, the HID headlights have an area at the bottom of the headlights where the ballast goes.

thats what i needed to know i know that ballast mounted on the bottom i just didnt know if the non hid might have had the same braket thing.

 

i got a set of JDM evo 9 MR headlight housing in stock pm me!
