BMW HID's on The Evo

hey i was wondering if the BMW hid's would work for the evo?

story is that my friend rolled his 2007 330i and it's completely totalled. he wants to sell his headlights and i was wondering if they'd work on the evo. i'm only looking to take out the ballast, not the entire headlight.

please give some feedback or opinions. thanks guys

Why do you need HID that is blueish? I need brighter HID, plus HID for fog, where can I get if done here?

actually BMW and Meredce OEM ballast and HID ( i have those over 16 ballast n HIDS (30s) from BMW and meredce.. that where i work for High end collision.. and i tried Meredce Benz on my evo and it very brighter than OEM HID..

more clear n crispy light on road.. so i might swap back meredce benz HID on my IX headlight when im black our headlight and JDM amber len.. maybe add HID on fog light

There is another thread about using infinity's HID, it's brighter than standard HID.

I want to try that out with TSX's HID. But I hate to DIY. I have no much space to work things out. Studying and sharing an apt is

Chris,

How much do I need to save to upgrade my HID to TSX's or Benz or BMW?
How much again if I want to swap my fog light to HID?

Thanks.

Thats what he meant by retrofit . I.e you had to change it to make it work.
