2005+ Non HID Evo housings come with Projectors?

Do you guys with 2005 non-HID evos have projector housings on your evos or do you have the reflector type housings for your low beams?

I did a search but couldn't find anything. I'm thinking of doing a HID install once i get another 9 or a 05 evo in the next few months for the GSR.

Thanks

You mean from on the dashboard? Not on my VIII, maybe with the SSL package or on the MR.

I think I'm going to have to get HIDs on mine. It's a bone stock '05 GSR and with the headlights on at night you can't really see anything.

I have the same setup as you. Basic GSR w/out HID's. Let me know how much it costs to switch to HID's.

i just installed my mcculloch 6000k hid kit. got it for 335 shipped from hidplace.com
evrything is plug n play. very easy to do. it seems like the it shines brighter on the sides than staright ahead. i think the bulbs are not on right. i had a hard time trying to twist the bulbs in the socket. i dont think its turned all the way. other than that, its easy

yeah I did a conversion on my gsx. Got the audi oem bulbs/ballast and the stock projectors. It was a PITA, and I don't want to do it with the upcoming evo. But half the work is at least done, so that's good news. Directions found on www.hidplanet.com/forums

thanks guys for the info.
