Evo 7/8 HID Headlights BRAND NEW $650+ship

I sold my 05 Evo VIII 7 months ago and have an extra pair of HID headlights that I bought to replace my original ones because they stopped working correctly. Long story short, my dealership ended up replacing my headlights under warranty so I am left with this extra set. It is in MINT condition, never installed, brand new with pics to prove it. They've been in the garage, unscathed, no dust, no bugs, perfect. PM me with any questions or specific pics. Price is $650, plus shipping if applicable. Im in Phoenix AZ if you want to pick them up.

Headlights Retail for $1100 @ vividracing.com

My pics are too big to post here so check them out on my craigslist ad:

I'll take your word for it, but the backside looks a bit different than my IX hids.

I'm not trying to be an ***, just trying to prevent potential drama.

They are indeed NOT HID headlights. There is no provision for the foglight as biggie has hinted towards. These came off a 2005 GSR which did not have HID's standard.

I was more looking at the bulb that looks to be the low beam hanging there and the low beam hole having a twist socket rather than the hid cover. I was going to mention the lack of foglights, but wasn't sure if you could get hids without them.

Jasserv had inquired about these headlights, especially about the fogs. These do NOT have fogs built into them. I had originally called VividRacing and they told me that the fogs were built in. Today, I had them physically looked at by a Mitsu Dealership and was told that there are no fogs built in. However, these headlights ARE High Intensity Discharge compatible and currently have HID bulbs installed. Also, these have never been installed (They're not off a 2005 GSR - plus my 2005 GSR had SSL, which included HID headlights). I hope that clears it up, I'm not trying to screw anyone over on these headlights. If there are any other question I'd be more than happy to answer them or get a second opinion from anyone. They are MINT headlights, never installed, in perfect working condition. I can get any specific photos for anyone who is interested in purchasing them. Oh, and because there are no fogs built in, price is now $500. I dont know about the majority of you guys, but I never used my fogs (then again, im in arizona where you dont need them). PM me with any questions or requests for pics. Thanks!

If it doesn't have this attached (or a spot for it on the bottom of the housing), then they're not oem hids and they're not oem hid compatible. Dealers don't know squat.

The bulb in this picture is not an oem HID bulb, nor is it an oem hid housing.


This is an hid bulb.

.

This is the back of an HID housing.



It sounds like you got the runaround from whoever you got the lights from.

no one mentioned this either ,thought i'd chime in,these def not hid btw... and the fact that you also brought up vivid makes me think you bought the old rs lights from him,also he said he pulled these off his 05 gsr,does he have jdm car because the ambers are on the bottom..just to many inconsistencies he may even have an HID conversion here too but not oem
