I am not so sure you can put regular bulbs instead of HIDs in there...But maybe they replaced his headlight with a non-projector version though?

 

I called the bodyshop, they said they replaced it with an OEM HID light. Bodyshop manager told me they ordered parts based off my VIN. My buddy who has an Evo X as well thinks the lights are new and need time to adjust (warm up) for them to look like my old lights.

My other buddy said they could have put in a crappy bulb/ ballast. I called the bodyshop and the manager agreed to put in my old bulb from the wreck. He said he needs to take off the bumper to do it and it will require 3 hours of work.

So do i wait for the yellow to "warm up"? OR do i go back and have my old bulb put in.
I dont even know what the ballast has to do with anything.

Thanks guys.

 

Go to the body shop and pull the bulb yourself. I don't see how it can three hours to remove a light bulb from a bumper that is not on the car.

 

To crash a car is bad enough, but an Evo....damn. You have my sympathy.

 

No, its gonna take 3 hours to put the old bulb into my evo. The bumper will have to come off the fixed car and then they can put in the light from the crash.
This all seems like such a hassle.

 

Damm sorry to see that, glad everyone was ok.

 

at the very least, you can take solace in the fact that the repairs appear to be confined to "bolt on" parts.

 

I was just thinking... is it possible they put a different colour temperature bulb in the car?

I know usually they recommend replacing bulbs in pairs so you get the same colour.
