Noticed that the non HID equipped Evo IX had integrated projector fog lamps while the HID equipped has integrated reflectors (same as VIII).

Did the VIII non HID have projector fog lamps too? They look great.

 

You mean the fog lights having projectors?

 

Yep.

 

the viii non-hid had projector looking inlays instead of the fog lamps. so this doesn't sound like a change.

 

All EVOs IMO should have HIDs

 

+1!!!

 

I'm getting an MR, I hear the HIDs add 20 pounds, I'd rather not have them.

 

ohh n0es!!!!11 20 pounds? come on, i would give 50pounds for HID's, just get a lightweight battery and call it even.

 

I heard HIDs add between 100 and 130 lbs....depends on the exact weight of the girl you pick up

HIDs = hot

 

20 pounds is too much for the quality of lighting HIDs bring??

 

HID's are not heavy at all..

I dont think the ballast even weighs a pound

 

Eh, I never felt underwhelmed by normal headlamps and I care more about weight than bling. So sue me.


I ripped 50 pounds of tar out from the trunk of my BMW and that was one of the happiest days of my life (exaggerating). ME = obsessed with light sports cars, but realizes an MR is a better deal than a Lotus.

 

I thought they required heavy transformers and circuitry and the like. Did you include all that in the weight you're talking about.

 

they require a ballast and a bulb...that's it. At best it weighs 5-10 lbs total

 

thank you for clearing this up Adam, I mean come on guys your talking about 15 to 20 lbs your saving for adding HID's hit the gym if 20lbs means that much to you.
