HID conversion kit question

When I'm upgrading to HID on my GSR do I have to buy MR HID housings too, or can I use what came with my car?

You do not need the MR HID housing. The cut off is just fine on regular halogen projector.

My evo came with HID's and one of them broke. I saw the work order for the new headlight unit $1200. Glad I didnt have to pay for it.

This is true.

But, it does look sexier when u have a hid-housing setup.

To achieve this you would have to swap out your entire GSR headlights and put some other ones in... like MR or SE's that run the HID housing. Then it gets very sexual from there.

Run a search, u'll find a few threads regarding this.
