Not sure but in this month's Super Street there was a company that is producing Projector/Halo type headlight for various cars, but I have not checked to see if they will be doing any Lancers or EVOs yet. You might want to check into that!

I have that issue... I checked and from what I could see the company doesn't have them for our cars.

check out the company Umnitza.

As far as the halos go. Making them yourself with curtain rods and LED's is a bit of a pain in the ***. The website www.umnitza.com had some replacement halos that would work better. I'm not sure if the set comes with mounting hardware or not. IMO, Mounting the rings was the hardest part, short of prying the housing apart. Once the weather gets a little warmer I'll probably order these rings and try it again. I'd put a pic up of the finished job but I can't figure out how to email pics on my phone (stupid cingular). I'll post pics if I can figure it out. If you have any more questions about it you can pm me.

cool glad the link was helpful, keep me updated those rings are glass and hi-quality only downside is they break very easily when installing, but what is awesome about Umnitza they make some of the brightest angel eyes on the market.
