if only they offer the package at all in Aus, it may cost A$4K but I believe it still worth it. it improves the driving feel, looks and resale value.

You guys missed what I am saying. You will have a problem with aftermarket kits due to the car using the low beams as driving lights.

There will only be a problem with the aftermarket HID kits when the DRL's activate. The HID's will flicker.

So you can either have your low beam on all the time, or relay the DRL's.

Nobody wants an Evo in this economy. I wouldn't be suprised if his car sat for a year and a half before he bought it. Dealer by me is selling Evo X w/SSS for $27,100. I'm half tempted to trade up.

You will have problems with an HID kit in a standard Evo/Ralliart too. The car uses the lowbeam light at reduced voltage as the daytime running light. This will throw the ballast of an HID kit into a frenzy and you would have to make sure you turn the headlights on before the daytime running lights activated.
thats why you bypass the DRLS my friend like I did

theres a thread on here titled "oem hids" that has a site that has oem evo x hid headlight assemblies for 400 something a side. supposedly you can just swap them out without any issues.

I just got my RA last Sat. and they had received their 3rd shipment of Evos this year. Economy must not be that bad! Atleast in the Chicagoland area.
