^ exactly. Two bulbs that are specially made to burn the Xenon gas and two ballists that are small rectangles, 6"x3"x2".

oki have a box here with 8 McCulloch Ballasts in it and it prolly only weighs 15 lbs and those are high quality ballasts and the bulbs are in the oz.'s... just like any other bulb really.

 

15lbs with a short shifter thing, all those brass shifting bushings and a ss clutch line too lol. just a miscellaneous box of parts...

 

Eh, I've used CATZ HIDs in several cars and they don't weigh much at all. With the ballast, ignitor and bulb, I'd say 5lbs per side max. Too bad DOT made aftermarket HIDs illegal....

 

Unless your Evo is track only dont worry about 18lbs of HID lamps hanging over the front. 999/1000 wont be able to tell the difference with or without them.

Want to lose weight? Grab a buschur exhaust and swap out the factory brace with a DC Ti unit.....theres 20 lbs saved and then some.

 

yup this past weekend I ran from a 13.5 and now 12.1...
my only mod, took off the HIDs

 

I think the 18-20 or so lbs is the entire lamp assembly, ballast / igniter, bulb...this may include the up/down lamp adjuster motors which surely add some weight.

Bulb + Ballast = not much weight at all on their own.

 

ya those things are heavy as ****. i had to carry a set of mr heads n tails to the bodyshop the other day. u remove both headlights yur saving like 40lbs!
