Don't see why not! Identical headlamp sizes, just different bulbs.

I have RS and looking for swap to GSR headlamp unit. We can swap if interested!

 

I don't get it? Why are so many people buying the RS version but then throwing all the regular EVO options into it?

 

They have a PROBLEM, get it?

They are addicted to MODDING..

 

well the 04 RS have acd's... throw in the hids and the wing, it'll still be lighter than a gsr by a bit

 

04 RSs have LSD not ACD

 

You do realize that the GSR comes with a leveling system so you don't shine those super bright lights in the face of oncoming traffic?

Cause all things considered you can get an aftermarket hid kit (bulbs/ballasts) for around 400$. Its just another mod........and how much can it weigh...really

 

yes....other than the leveling feature
will the rest be plug and play?
thanx

I'm doing to swap tomarrow...hopefully it's plug and play. I'll let you know when I'm done. In the meantime, has anybody else done this or am I gonna be another first...like the rest of my RS.

 

I've thought a lot about upgrading to HIDs.

 

Switching HID and regular lights is not a plug and play proposition on the Evo. You have to rewire it totally. How do I know? TKE413 and I both had our bumpers off and headlights out this morning finding out.

 

EVOTEXAS and tke,
When you tried to swap the headlights, were you using EVO OEM HIDS from another EVO? Or was the rewiring necessitated by aftermarket HIDs? Thanks for being trailblazers!

We tried with my GSR HIDs and his EVO RS.

 

Yeah, no worky-worky...kinda sucks that we had to take both bumpers, underbody plastic POS's and a headlight out of each to find out that the wiring is completely different. The HID's use more wires with a bigger clip, so unless you re-wire completely and also get the relay...it can't happen. Oh well, it was worth a shot and now everybody knows.
