redex04 · 01-16-2008, 03:16 AM

very nice, HID's improve all cars

boostedfury · 01-16-2008, 11:23 AM

looks sick man what kit did u use and did the wrx come with projectors stock?

cburwell · 01-16-2008, 11:30 AM

Wow, those are really blue! Are they still warming up in those pictures or are they one of those ridiculous temperature ranges (8000K)?

lawdogg · 01-16-2008, 11:35 AM

Looks great. Is that 6000K or 4300K or something else?

WKderF · 01-16-2008, 11:39 AM

They are 5000K. The camera makes them look more blue then they actually are. The kit is a Brightstar kit and the WRX comes with projector housings from the factory.

lawdogg · 01-16-2008, 11:57 AM

Nice. Look a whole lot better than my 8000K's.

D Money · 01-16-2008, 12:40 PM

lookin good

CHAOS · 01-16-2008, 12:48 PM

looks great man, now just pick up some bright ass fogs to light up the sides and youll be set...

Blue32 · 01-16-2008, 01:21 PM

Ya I think Im gonna have to get some Fog HIDs...need some more light..

CHAOS · 01-16-2008, 01:26 PM

im not sure if they fit the WRX, but i know they make fog lights like mine for the 08...

im actually considering trying to retrofit HID'd into them.

james_ls · 01-16-2008, 01:51 PM

LoL @ the H.I.D. spotlight.

That picture looks BADASS!!

BradC · 01-16-2008, 02:10 PM

Lot more glare than I would expect from a projector setup.

Scapegoat · 01-16-2008, 02:13 PM

You can get kits for $100 or so. They are cheap now. Doing a real HID conversion: Buying factory projectors & installing them along with factory bulbs will cost you a lot more then that though. It's the right way to do a conversion if you car comes with headlight housings that are designed for halogen bulbs.

JBWRX06 · 01-18-2008, 04:38 PM

where did you get them HID's at? How Much? I need to get me some HID's for my 06 wrx

Buster · 01-19-2008, 02:32 AM
