Are you experiencing poor light output? If you’re like most people who turn to Retrofitlab for help, you own a great car, like an Audi, Mercedes or BMW, with not-so-great headlights. The light output has gone downhill to the point where driving in the dark is no longer enjoyable. Not to say: it’s become outright dangerous. This usually has little to do with the bulbs; in 99% of cases, the poor light output is due to the reflective surfaces inside the projector having been eroded and burned off by UV radiation, heat build-up and pollutants. And when the reflective surfaces no longer reflect, well, then not even the brightest bulb on the planet is going to be of much use.
Eroded reflective surface:
The options. In this situation, you have two choices:
- You can go to the car brand dealership, who will only sell you complete headlights. Doing so would guarantee two things: you would pay a lot of money for parts that you don’t need and you would receive a projector of the very same type that landed you in this pickle in the first place (the infamous Hella E55).
- You can keep your headlight and the vast majority of your money and simply swap the faulty part: the projector. Doing so is easy; with many headlights, all you have to do is turn some nuts at the rear of the assembly. Also, apart from saving a bucket-load of money, you will enjoy light output that is literally streets ahead of what you’re used to. The Aharon EvoX-R 2.0 is in fact nearly seven (7) times more powerful than old Hella E55!
The bright choice. A product of years of research and development, the premium Aharon EvoX-R 2.0 retrofit kit ticks all the boxes: bi-xenon functionality (both low- and high-beam xenon), superior light output, superior durability and simple installation.
Retrofitlab.com exclusive options
- We have the EvoX-r 2.0 in DOT and ECE light pattern versions.
- We have the EvoX-r 2.0 in RHD/LHT for in the UK/Japan/Australia
Needless to say, each kit includes projectors for both headlights, and you’ll enjoy a comprehensive two-year warranty (to be compared to the limited warranties you’ll see elsewhere).
Here’s why the Aharon EvoX-R 2.0 is a really bright choice:
-
Superior light output
The Aharon EvoX-R 2.0 is a staggering 668% brighter than old Hella E55, the world’s most common OEM xenon projector! Check out the comparison pictures to see for yourself.
-
Full-width vision
Thanks to the incredible brightness, the super-wide beam of the Aharon isn’t just some faint glow at its extreme ends; you’ll have plenty of light on the dark sides of the road.
-
Laser-sharp cutoff
The beam pattern provides a perfect balance between the very low DOT and the very high ECE steps, ensuring clear vision without distracting other traffic.
-
A world apart from EvoX-R 1.0
EvoX-R 1.0 became hugely popular thanks to its spectacular power, but this second generation blows it right out the water, being more than 77% brighter! We should mention, though, that the EvoX-R 2.0 lens holder is just a couple of mm shorter, so you get a tiny gap behind the shroud (we dare anyone to discover this when the headlights are on).
-
Perfectly positioned hotspot
The EvoX-R 2.0 puts the hotspot right below the cut-off line, enabling you to detect hazards at maximum distance.
-
Reliable low & high beams
A durable push-pull solenoid ensures that you won’t ever be stuck in either low or high beam, and that’s a very good thing, because the high beam of the EvoX-R 2.0 really is exceptionally powerful. Not to blind anyone, you’ll want to flick back to low beam long before you pass oncoming traffic.
-
Maximum heat dissipation
A lightweight alloy bowl dissipates heat efficiently, protecting the reflective surface from deterioration.
-
Full-metal lens holder
A full-metal holder keeps the crystal-clear 3” glass lens securely in place no matter how bumpy the road gets.
-
Wide choice of bulbs
Your EvoX-R 2.0 accepts a wide range of bulbs – everything from D1S through D2S, D3S and D4S right through to H7 (minor mods required for H7). No compromising on bulb quality or power.
Effortless retrofit
Based on years of R&D, the EvoX-R 2.0 was designed for super-easy replacement of Hella E55. Once the headlight is open, you can place and connect it in minutes, without the need for any special tools.
AFS-compatible with mods
The EvoX-R 2.0 is compatible with AFS (cornering function) headlights but requires some modifications to the mounting points. Novice retrofitters of AFS headlights are recommended to instead purchase the original EvoX-R 1.0, which is a perfect match to AFS headlights straight out of the box (the 1.0 can only hold D2S bulbs).
Optional D2S extension cables
In case you’re going for a D2S setup, you can avoid having to tinker with a DIY solution by adding a pair of D2S extension cables to your order. These cables make for absolutely effortless wiring. Plug and play.

These projectors just need little bit modification. Also you can't use original ballasts without any modifications because they will not fit anywhere inside headlight although you use adapters. So you need expand (make it larger) the cover which need to be opened when you change your bulb. After all these are way better than burned oem projectors! |
