Alright so I am getting some new lights, ready to order actually. I have a 2002 WRX and am planning on getting new headlights and foglights. I am looking for a good solid white, not much on the blue/violet side because everyone finds them annoying. Anyways I am going back and forth between halogen bulbs or getting an HID kit, I am curious to see what you guys have done with your lights and what products you found most satisfactory. I found a set of halogen bulbs on this site: http://www.automotivelightingusa.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=10_18&products_id=1562
^^my friend told me about this site and he said that he got his lights here, but he has a volvo and I would like some good quality lights for my WRX.

As far as HID kits, I see postings on here but I don't have much experience with HID kits and can't tell between the china kits and the quality stuff. If you guys have any suggestions that would be great.

Also I want some fog lights that match in color, what do you guys think about those??

Any and all input will be appreciated, THANKS :thumb:

Alright, I was thinking 5500k, what kit did you get? Also have you seen any recent posts that have somewhat cost efficient kits?

Are HID kits compatible with the daytime running light system?

In stock configuration the DRLs are dimmer than the low beams. Can HID units tolerate being run in the same manner without problems?
