Regular 05 VIII's didn't come with HIDS.. I believe it only came with the SSL,RS, and MR.. someone correct me if I'm wrong with any of those 3... I bought my HID's from another member...

Correct. If its an 05, the only way it has HIDS is if its an MR or it has leather, sunroof, and a sub.

What do you mean by "better" anyhow? I have read many places the HIDs on the Evo are considered some of the best by industry standards. Just because they arent the most blue or purple or whatever does not mean they arent good, as dafarmer69 pointed out.

my 03 has HIDS, no sunroof, no ssl, I think the HIDs were an option in '03, and they are great. You have to remember too, that on some cars it matters of the projector also, IMO
