Received my DarkSyde 8000K VHO HID kit for my 05 EVO 8

[Blue Rocket]

Yes i am a former SRT4 owner. I currently own a lightning yellow EVO 8 which I got w/o the SSL package. I think mitsu ripped us all of by not giving us factory HID's so i decided to get me a set of 8000K VHO's from Ryan.

i have not installed it yet but all the equipment looks top notch, and very very easy to install.

i'm not stranger to HID kits since I have owned Phillips HID's in my previous sport cars.

Anyhow, I will install it this weekend when I have free time, then I will post pics up....

I'll keep your number handy. I'm too lazy to call now...

Actually I know its a dumb question and I can probably figure it out when I see my stock evo wire harness. when I unplug the OEM 9006 bulb, I will
look at the OEM socket, look for the + and - wires and hook up the HID harness accordingly. The - wire should be black, and the + should be red or white....something like that...then I will upgrade the OEM headlight fuses to 20 amp or 30 amp to protect the wirirng circuit.

well on the srt you have red, black, and purple (due to hi/low)...

the 03 evo's came standard with OEM hids, the 04-05 EVO's only get hids if you buy the SSL package...i.e the sunroof, sound system, and leather seat package..

well, overall I installed the lights, removed the bumpers, wired everything up, upgraded the fuses.

Bottom line is that it looks HOT even in a projector housing. I also was wornink late tonight under a bright 300watt halogen lamp so it didnt look too bright to me.

What I need to do now is compare my HID kit to a stock EVO with HID's and I'll decide from there....


worse come to worse I will see if I can get 6000K bulbs instead.

do you still get the projectors, and in cabin adjustable beams?? just no HID's

i find that very cheap you pay that much money and dont even get hids that the older cars came standard w/!

yes our low-beams are in projector type housings, the high beams are reflector type....

The non-HID EVO's dont get in cabin headlight levelers, all adjustments have to be made on the headlight housing itself
