Greetings,
I've read the HID threads on this topic, but I'm still confused
I need HIDs for my '02 WRX and I need them now. Money is not an issue, but I'd prefer not to spend what I don't have to. Which companies have complete kits I can use?
Also, would it make sense to leave the stock headlights alone (because of reflector issues) and just replace the fog lights with HIDs?
Please help!!!
Thanks!

best thing to do (from what i understand) is to get JDM sti hids... thats a new houseing bulb balist and wiring. that will run u up about 1 grand or so.... or u can just buy same 200$ set off some website. i have brightstar HIDs 6500 on my 05wrx and i like them however somepeople say it blinds people with the glare due to the fact that the stock housing isn't made for HID.

Greetings again,
Thanks for the replies.
With the apparent difficulty in obtaining all the correct components to do the HID headlight conversion correctly, I'm now leaning towards HID lamps in place of the fog lights.
Is there a readily available kit?
What size and type of fog lamps are stock on my WRX?
Thanks for your continued assistance!

Try talking to WhiteRguyX. He bout a set of HID's for his headlights and fog lights. Its good to ask a person who actually runs the HID's in his car.
Good luck to you!

Greetings,
The Hella HID FF1000s it will be! http://www.hella.com/produktion/HellaPortal/WebSite/Internet_usa/ProductsServices/Performance_Lighting/FF_Series/FF1000_Xenon/FF1000_Xenon.jsp
But should I get the Pencil Beam or the Driving Lamp version?
Also, what K output is the D2S bulb? I want the 5000K version, but can't seem to verify this is what comes with the FF1000 lamp assembly.
Thanks for any help you can offer!
