Sorry, but those look Horrible!

The oem hids look 10x better. Add some Morimoto led cbar's for some extra enhancements to the oem hids. I saw them for only 25.00 from theretrofitshop.com, for the led cbars.

Hey guys, if your looking for more performance out of the OEM HID heads you can send them in to us for the EvoX 50w upgrade. The OEM HID projector is actually pretty poor compared to a lot of other manufactures OEM setups.


As stated above, going with any of the Chinese brand aftermarket lights from OEM HID is going backwards in performance and quality. I've taken apart many of the aftermarket lights and can tell you the internals they use are garbage.


With the EvoX upgrade we replace the stock projector with the Morimoto EvoX-R projector. The low beams are wider, the highs are concentrated for more distance, the light output is pure white with 5500K bulbs and they are 2400 lumen brighter then stock with the 50w ballasts.


If anyone is interested please feel free to contact us - http://www.raptorretrofit.com/contact-us/ We can turn the lights over in 2 days, let us know what state you are in for a total down time with shipping.

It's what I hear. The EVOX-R is a direct swap in these things and blows the factory projectors out of the water; even at 35w.

OEM Low




EvoX Low




OEM High




EvoX High


Here's some output pics we took a while back. You can see how restrictive the OEM lows are, the EvoX has a lot more width and foreground. Also the EvoX high is more concentrated for increased distance, the OEM projector scatters light upward where you don't need it.

I absolutely love my EVOX-R 2.0 Swapped OEM HIDS! Also upgraded the bulbs to Osram CBI. They are much brighter, much wider, throw light farther and a sharper cut off line. I regret not upgrading them sooner! While they were apart i had the reflectors swapped out and demon eyes installed as well.
