Anybody here want better lighting?
Hello all,
I have been wanting to get a WRX for a year now and finally got around to getting one. What a great car so far, I cant stop driving it!!
I am trying to find out from anyone if they are happy with their lighting systems or if they are upgrading and what they are using currently. I see the lighting is pretty good, but Xenon/HIDS.
What would everyone think of a dual wattage HID type light. That way when you hit the high beam the low stays on and increasing it power. This way you have the high and low beam working together.
I am doind research right now to see if there is interest in a product like this. I have someone doing the R&D right now to see what he can make.
Please let me know what you would like to see and why.
Thanks for all your help and ideas upfront and hope to see ya around.

I was using HID 6000k purple kit on my factory headlamp housing. It was great but sacraify the high beam that make me hard to drive in mountain road.
I am now convert to japanese version sti projector headlamp with normal bulbs. However, when I go far from my car and look back, specially when i move to the far right, the driver side's light beam is stronger than passenger, maybe I need to tune the beam. May be it just great to put aftermarket HID kit to the low beam and it is perfect!

Please note, when you buy KID kit, please make sure the ballast is philips which made in garmany, because it is plug N play to the factory plug for both side.
If you use some aftermarket HID kit which will use relay, Don't buy it!!! Because those kit will need only one side of the factory 9007 light plug used while left other side unused. Due to the usused side plug make the circuit open, the factory system will assume one side blub is blown and will sometimes trigger the high beam light in your dash board or when you turn on the fog light on, the high beam light will also on absolutely!!!
So, simple only use Philips ballast and bulb if you want to upgrade HIK kit. Ask if the ballast is PLUG N PLAY type or Relay Type before purchase it,OK?
Also, don't forget to unplug the Day time Running console in the engine bay. If need instruction, ask us for help.
