Just keep in mind that that "20 mins at 220" is more of a blanket statement---and degree of difficulty is highly dependent on the housing design. To be clear, I'm in no way doubting what the guys over at TRS say, but if your housings use the same sealant as the facelifts, its not going to be that easy. They'll definitely be able to point you in the right direction as to the pros/cons and which projectors would fit your needs best though!

Holy light Batman!
Definitely more interested in amber removal/corner light modification and seeing what upgrades I can do to the projector if I open them up than necessarily angel eyes. I would rather spend 150 on better projectors with bi-xenon function than 150 on angel eye rings if I had to choose between the two! (most seem like they are about that much if they are LED rings)

Right from the TRS website for EvoX: "Their bolt pattern is identical to older Hella 3" halogen, xenon, and bi-xenon projectors - so can be used as a direct bolt on upgrade to OEM or aftermarket housings that use these designs."
Yup, you could use the traditional highs with them....there's really no need though. While the Evot low-beams aren't as wide as say the FX-r's; the highs on the Evo's are second to none! Like I said previously in my upgrade thread, I really only did the angel eyes because I already had the housings open. The $150 is definitely worth the projector upgrade....the $160 I spend for the angel eyes (while they definitely look cool) isn't as easy to justify. Lol.
