HID Headlight Conversion Package - Non-SSS to SSS! - Page 9 - EvoXForums.com

johnnyfast11 · 01-20-2013, 01:30 AM

i dont own an evo x yet, but from what i understand, the headlight lever has 3 settings. 1. all off. 2. DRL only. 3. lowbeam on. right?

can you do this?:
- blacked out
- no led strip
- 2 halos on around highbeam & lowbeam (I'd like to turn this on as DRL) without low beam headlights on. (4 halos on both driver/passener headlights).
- HID lowbeam on with the 2 halos on also (halos around highbeam & lowbeam).

I basically would like 3 options.
1. no lights on at all.
2. only halos on for both highbeam & lowbeam.
3. all halos and lowbeam HID on.
thanks.

does it require cutting to fit the EvoX-R project into the Depo housing? also plan to do that myself for my evo.

Nothing major but you do need to slightly trim the housing where the cutoff shield's actuating arm is. Sometimes when the shield opens, its corner gets stuck on the headlight housing and it never closes. So it's a good thing to shave about 1-2mm off of either the arm or the housing before installing the projectors and testing the cutoff shield a bunch of times once it's all screwed together, before it goes back into the outer headlight shell. I can tell you how frustrating it is to completely reassemble a headlight, test the cutoff shield and hear it get stuck, resulting in the need to completely disassemble once more.

Please PM me with pricing for a complete HID set. I have a non SSS 2013 X and would like it to appear as close to OEM headlights as possible. Thanks.

Get yours before I take a hiatus for my move!! 2 in the queue right now but they'll be out the door shortly!

Hey guys, I just accepted an offer on my place and I close in about 4 weeks so once I do I pretty much lose my workspace. If you want a set done I have to place an order this week to get the parts in time so I can ship before I move!

Let me know!

Congrats on accepting an offer. I look forward to getting some headlights done when you're on the West Coast.

Plastidip is being SO uncooperative this week. Ugh. The slight humidity + cold weather = finishes I'm not 100% happy with. Thankfully I can peel and do it again!

I'll never send out a finish I'm not personally happy with.

zerocooll21's car is finished, so once he has some shoots done I can show off the very special headlights I did for him. Did someone say color-matched wicked white?

WOOP!

Thanks! Definitely!

Going to stay with my mom for a month or two before the final move, but yeah, I really can't wait to ramp up operations again.

Three whole Depo sets still need to be shipped...man I miss having a car!
