The best option is to get
1. Depo Headlight
2. EvoX-R Projector
Anything else ? I'm new to evos so I would love the help to understand .
Do we have DRL? So do we need the JRox harness ?
No jrox harness req'd. You'll also need a. HID kit (ballasts and bulbs). Morimoto at the retrofit source is really nice.

Wow these headlights look great. I wanted to do some hid but did not want to put them in the reflective housings. I would just put a thin layer sealant around the headlight to make sure it doesn't leak. With an HID kit these look great. Very impressed that I may order some of the future

Anybody else have rotational adjustment problems with these. Mine are angled up quite a bit on the outside, and it doesn't seem correctable by the adjustment screws. Thanks.

Ya. The left and right adjustments are seated well however the up and down adjustment screw is seated in a soft plastic housing amd doesnt allow for much movement for some reason. This is the one flaw I noticed with these hls.

How much did it cost you for the headlights and projectors? And what hid kit did you get?

Huh? I thought it was required!
Unless you mean the kit comes with the relay/harness included...

So I recently did the HID retrofit on the Depo headlights and it turned out pretty well. Even though it was my first time working on headlights, I would give it a 4/10 for difficulty and it was pretty fun. Definitely things I could do better.

I'm not sure if this is fairly common, but the fitment was definitely about a 8/10. There is a noticeable gap on the lower edge under the projector and no amount of adjusting the bumper or headlight can get rid of.

Do the lancer gts depo headlights fit the Evo? In the descriptions I found it says it doesn't fit the Evo. I'm looking to get a set of depo projectors and do a retrofit swap to run HIDS. Just want to make sure they will bolt in before purchasing.

If it makes you feel better, my car is stock and has about 1/2" gap there on each side.

The physical headlight housings are the same size and mounting locations. May be some different wiring harness with the SSS package drls

i recently had these retrofitted and got 55w 6k hids. However, for some reason the parking lights/license plate lights & ccfl halos (wired to parking lights) dont work now. mine is a 2010 non sss so i need the jrox kit for the DRL flickering issue. I was wondering if that would remedy the parking light problem. I've checked all fuses and wiring seems to be fine. When i take the HIDs out and put the halogen back in everything works fine. I'm just hoping the Jrox kit would fix the issue.
