rs head lights to gsr headlghts
hey guys so i was curious to know if evo 8 rs headlights would work on my evo 8 gsr. i know they dont have hid and fogs and all that but im really just trying to buy them for the housing. my question is is it possible to swap all my gsr compnonents like the ballast,leveling motor, bulbs etc to the rs headlight housing? i dont know if the housings for the rs are differantly then the gsr;s. thanx in advance

Having had the opportunity to play with the halogen and hid headlights on the same car I can tell you that both headlight units work in both platforms.
Putting the HID's in the non HID headlight housing is very very tricky and not advised, better to just keep the HIDs as is, or get a decent HID kit to fit the halogen housing. The lenses are also different, HID and Non HID, took one of my damaged HID lights apart to see if they could be retro'd into the non hid housing.
So yes you can put the GSR lights into the RS, you just will not have foglight functionality but I do recall a thread showing how you can wire the fogs up using relays and what not. I hope this helps.

GSR is the fastest one listed go with that and drop a type R engine in and you're good to go. I personally prefer the headlights on the LS.
Aw come on, I get a thumbs down for saying the same thing as sean only fumbling on the headlights? You people are fickle! Fickle I say!
