I notice that your car has two connectors per side to the headlamp a big one and small one.

Mine just have the big one and in my case i change the pins to the headlamps turn on , then the small connector is for the DRL, i think in your case you need to go to the dealer to that gys do the setup for the heads on the can bus the computer.

If you know or find something more pls let us know.

Hmmmm.. so you don't have the small connector??? Interesting. Maybe thats the problem for many others.... My 09 GTS came with the 2 plugs in the harness, a big one and a small one for the DRL's I think.... I let you know if I find something more.

I think with the 09 Lancers the EVO X projectors are plug and play. I had the 08 GTS and I noticed only one connector. I now have the 09 RA and there are two, just like in the picture.

Hi guys! Some people says the EVOX Projectors are not compatible or need major modification in a lot of forums arround the internet.
NOT TRUE.

Here's the proof.

Here are some pics of the Evo X projectors on my lancer. They are plug-n-play. They fits perfect with NO modifications and took me
like 40 minutes to install including removing the front bumper.

The OEM HID works perfectly!!!

Opinions are welcome as always.

Hey there... nice job and nice writeup too!

Yah, those rumours are bull... my dealer told me it is not possible etc etc but I bought one set from japan and fitted it right on!!!

As I realised for my JDM specced car, the projectors will be plug an play for the following features only:

1) Low Beam HID
2) Bi-xenon High Beam (deflector based)
3) Headlamp levelling (Need to get the OEM switch from parts dealer)

For international version:

Adaptive Lighting System (steering influenced lighting) will not work

For US specced cars:

DRLs will not function, but it is seriously just a matter of pin change, if anyone can get hold of the 09 workshop manual, that cab be accomplished in a flurry.

1 year ago, I bought the oem projectors at about US$2k per set and installed them on my own... US$200 is way too good a deal... Yes, installing them was chicken feat, involve loosening up the front bumpers though, no need complete removal.

Our rides look identical... hehe

what is this pin change i hear of? what is involved in that. Also all the parts websites have that Leveling switch available , is that plug and play for the US models?
