no..not jdm. that's way, way, way too much for my pocket. besides, it's RHD (right hand drive). i'm talking about doing a HID retro like taking a HID projector and ballasts from a BMW with xenon lights and putting it in our ralliart headlights.

it is cheaper to get a hid kit rebased 9007, but the problem with that is the glare that is produce from the kit from the reflector headlight meaning that you could blind on-coming traffic plus poor output. so, by having a hid/ xenon projector, the light is more focus giving you a clearer and better output.

...if you have an RA, you shouldnt have any glare, as far as it being RHD, there is no significant difference. why?...cus you can adjust the headlights...i have the cedia conversion on my 03, and everything is pointed out the right way, a lot of the sclc guys have seen my HIDS, and there is not glare, but then again thats on the 03 platfom, but i am looking into doing a projector setup for the 03, y?....just cus..
...but its not as easy as it looks

ok ski... what you do is, you have an HID Kit, with the bulbs, you have a Projector, maybe from an EVO, and what you do is put the projector inside RA housing... heres the equation
#1 housing - fitment area = housing able to fit the projector
#2 HID kit + projector = Retrofitted made to fit our housing in the RA
End product = RA with Evo Projector and HID making the HIDS much clear and powerful. the end
#1 housing - fitment area = housing able to fit the projector
#2 HID kit + projector = Retrofitted made to fit our housing in the RA
End product = RA with Evo Projector and HID making the HIDS much clear and powerful. the end
