Are you experiencing poor light output? If you're like most people who contact JB-Lightsdesign for help, you own a great car, like an Audi, Mercedes, or BMW, with not-so-great headlights. The light output has deteriorated to the point where driving in the dark is no longer enjoyable. Not to mention: it has become downright dangerous. This usually has little to do with the light bulbs; in 99% of cases, the poor light output is due to the fact that the reflective surfaces inside the projector have eroded and burned out due to UV radiation, heat generation, and pollutants. And if the reflective surfaces no longer reflect, then even the brightest bulb in the world won't help much.
Eroded reflective surface:
The options. In this situation, you have two options:
- You can go to the car dealership, who will only sell you complete headlights. That would guarantee two things: you'd pay a lot of money for parts you don't need, and you'd get a projector of the same type that got you into this mess in the first place (the infamous Hella E55).
- You can keep your headlight and most of your money and simply replace the faulty part: the projector. This is easy; on many headlights you only need to turn a few nuts on the back of the assembly. Besides saving a lot of money, you will also enjoy a light output that is literally leaps and bounds ahead of what you are used to. The Aharon EvoX-R 2.0 is actually almost seven times stronger than the old Hella E55!
The bright choice. The premium retrofit kit Aharon EvoX-R 2.0 is the product of years of research and development and meets all criteria: Bi-Xenon functionality (both low and high beam Xenon), superior light output, superior durability and easy installation.
That's why the Aharon EvoX-R 2.0 is a really good choice:
-
Superior light performance
The Aharon EvoX-R 2.0 is an astonishing 668% brighter than the old Hella E55, the world's most widely used OEM xenon projector! Check out the comparison images to see for yourself. -
Full-width view
Thanks to the incredible brightness, the super-wide beam of the Aharon is not just a faint glow at its furthest ends; you have plenty of light on the dark sides of the road. -
Laser-sharp cut
The beam pattern offers a perfect balance between the very low DOT and the very high ECE levels, ensuring clear visibility without distracting other traffic. -
Worlds apart from EvoX-R 1.0
The EvoX-R 1.0 became very popular thanks to its spectacular performance, but this second generation is more than 77% brighter! However, we should mention that the EvoX-R 2.0 lens mount is only a few millimeters shorter, resulting in a tiny gap behind the cover (we dare say, if anyone notices this when the headlights are on). -
Perfectly positioned hotspot
The EvoX-R 2.0 places the hotspot directly below the light-dark boundary, allowing you to detect hazards from the maximum distance. -
Reliable low and high beam headlights
A durable push-pull magnet ensures that you don't get stuck in either low or high beam, and that's a very good thing, because the high beam of the EvoX-R 2.0 is really exceptionally powerful. To avoid blinding anyone, you should switch back to low beam long before you see oncoming traffic. -
Maximum heat dissipation
A shell made of a lightweight alloy efficiently dissipates heat and protects the reflective surface from deterioration. -
All-metal lens holder
A full-metal mount keeps the crystal-clear 3-inch glass lens securely in place, no matter how bumpy the road gets. -
Large selection of light bulbs
Your EvoX-R 2.0 accepts a wide variety of bulbs – everything from D1S to D2S, D3S and D4S, right up to H7 (minor modifications required for H7). No compromises on bulb quality or performance.
Effortless retrofitting
Based on years of research and development, 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 special tools.
AFS compatible with mods
The EvoX-R 2.0 is compatible with AFS headlights (cornering function), but requires some modifications to the mounting points. Beginners retrofitting AFS headlights are recommended to purchase the original EvoX-R 1.0 instead, which fits perfectly with AFS headlights straight out of the box (the 1.0 only accepts D2S bulbs).
Optional D2S extension cables
If you opt 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 ensure absolutely effortless wiring. Plug-and-play.
