What Taillights & Headlights are these?

I just bought a Evo last month and had assumed these parts were stock till a friend noted that they were different from his buddies same year car.

I know this was a theft recovery so I'm assuming the owner replaced the missing parts with other year parts. The taillights and headlights both say Stanley on them so I'm assuming they are OEM on some Evo.

This car is a '06 Evo IX GSR w/ no HID's. Can anyone tell me where the headlights and taillights are from?

headlights are stock 9 gsr headlights. Tails look to be stock 9 tails with some amber vinyl over them. Although the amber looks yellow lol.

Haha...you're absolutely right, I just went outside to check the taillights and it is some kind of tint, its just really thin...thanks

So, even if the car didn't come with HID's it came with projector headlights?

The regular headlights in this are horrible...I can barely see anything at night without the high beams.

Did you use one of those cheap HID kits that plug in or go the more expensive route?

Also, what the hell is the innermost dark projector looking bulb thing for? Just for looks?

the evos with factory HIDs came with headlights with fogs. that innermost dark thingy is suppose to be where the fogs go. the gsr doesn't come with fogs so that part is just plastic.
