Hey guys... I'm new on this forum and sorry to bring up an old thread. I've done a few retrofits for cars that didn't already have projectors and I plan on opening up my evo 8 headlights soon to paint them and possibly prep for a retrofit as I'm not impressed with the light output and cutoffs. I'll post some pictures when I do get around to it but in the mean time, if you have any questions about the process, I'll try to help out. The prices that people are quoting is a little steep, but having done three (plus helping others) I can see why they charge those prices. The work is very tedious and require a lot of patience and measuring.
Initially I wanted to buy a second set of headlights so I can start working on them on the side... I quickly found out that Evo headlights for 8/9 are not cheap lol. If anyone has any broken or damaged headlights (or cheap evo 8 headlights), PM me. I'll post up a nice step by step review.
Here's a link to my first attempt:

I used all cheap parts and the results came out pretty good, but I wasnt satisfied so I did a second retrofit with better parts (did not make a writeup for it) and it turned out really nice.
Happy modding, guys!
