Unfortunately not, since you are just replacing your fog lights with a different light. The projector retrofits are a lot more involved and require the use of projectors and HID ballasts.
Thank you for the answer
I knew that projector was more involving, but there is nothing better than asking.

Count me in. Mini H1 or DS2 Square. Being my first retrofit, I would hate to bite off more than I can chew.

Evox/R projectors.

H13 Canbus harness - assuming you are NOT going to use the OEM passthrough connector on the housing and just direct-wire.

EvoX-R projectors are the direct swap in, but it looks like they're sold out/on back order again. The Motocontrol H13 is the harness you want. Past that, make sure everything else works together, D2S bulbs if you're going to use the EvoX-R, 35w or 55w ballasts both work with the Moritmoto bulbs, but the colour will appear about 1000k in temperature less if you use 55w ballasts, as well as being 20% for 20% less lifespan on bulbs

Howdy;

They sure are popular, eh? lol

The other thing is - IF this is a System-only GB, the EVO's don't come in a system ( not counting Stave IV OEM systems).

Hence - You need to buy stuff a la carte. But - I think if you work with Andrew he can 'bundle' a custom system up fer you. Need to ask.

Cheers

PS - PROPS to good ol' AK fer taking the time and effort to put this together ! Thankee!

The Evo's used to come in a system, and I've had them bookmarked for months. Since about mid December, they've been taken down. I inquired about this when I noticed, and was told it was because they're on back order.
