Yea, good one. But I want to see the pattern on the wall when you pull into garage on low beam.
They are in your standard lancer headlights?

Now the HID's are in, I didn't realise how far out my beams were lol. RHS was pointing left and actually almost overlapped the LHS. Anyone have any tips on how far away from the wall is ideal to correctly adjust beams? I've googled it I get one site saying 6ft one says 15ft and another says 20 ft.

Post 13 and 17 in this topic. Set them on low beam. Is pretty hard to set the horizontal cut off line. I think it is 0.5* down (this works out at 9cm down over 10m, my neighbour door is 30m, so I set it 27cm down). I used the laser level on the neighbors roller door over road. But I think I still needed to lift them up a bit after driving it a bit and they seemed low. I think I just got the car on flat road and pushed the low beam out as far as I could see it still on the ground. It's pretty good, but they were projector low beams with very defined low beam cut off, not sure what yours are like

I think I got em where I'm happy. Just jumped on the road and went for a squirt up mickleham rd where it's nice and dark and I'm stoked with em. Highly recommend anyone with earlier Evo to upgrade. The standard setup is like driving blind and if it wasn't for the foggies you practically are driving blind. Now I can just see the light from the foggies with the HIDs on.

Better get hid for the fogs as well then.

I just bought h4 bulbs for mrs car and they came with everything except ballasts.

From buying some 55w hid I asked the seller what is the difference between the 35w and the 55w bulbs. He said only the ballast is different, bulbs are the same.
So, I wonder if I could use a single 55w ballast to run 2 bulbs... This would be perfect for fogs.

Btw, I recommend not getting 55w they cane your eyes at night, you just want to put some sunnies on. Oww oww oww.

Here is that pic you wanted I think Jack, and where I installed the ballasts.

So which HID kit did you get in the end?
I've been weighing up whether to get HID's, good normal globes or Angel-eyes (?)
