JDM MR headlight question?
All of the sites that sell the JDM Evo MR headlights say that they are plug and play accept for the fog light which needs the connector changed. What connector does the JDM fog light use and can you just splice the old connector off of the stock Evo fog light onto it to make it work?

Since this thread means alot to me as well I got on the case and did a good investigation.
I just spoke with a guy who works at IntakeOne.com and this is what he told me to do, to make the JDM MR Headlights work in the Spec. US MR Evo. As above, one of are members suggested buying a Nokya 9006 harness. He was right on point. Heres what we have to do if you want it done the right way, and not jimmy rigged. You have to buy this part, that comes in a pair, and select 9006 as your choice: http://www.intakeone.com/Light_bulbs/NokyaCombo.html
Once you have this, either try it yourself, or go to your dealer or someone who is good with wiring and have them cut your H11 outputs from with inside your Evo, and then rewire the 9006 adapter in its place so it will fit the JDM 9006 bulb holder on the housing. It's that simple.
Myself, since I'm not that good, I will take it to someone and have them do it.
But in a nut shell that's it. Just to be clear, when you buy the item, it's sold as a pair, so just pick 9006 and your color bulb of choice, and you’re done.
Hope this helps guys.

You're better off doing it yourself. The dealer will charge you labor by the hour. This will include taking off the undertray, taking off the front bumper, removing the headlight housings, cutting off the H11 harnesses, reconnecting the 9006 harnesses, installing the bulbs, reinstalling the headlight housings, reinstalling the bumper and reinstalling the undertray. All of this can be done with a set of simple hand tools and a ramp/jackstands if you must. The dealership will milk you.
