retrofit 02 wrx FX projectors help
Hi,
I bought my 02 wrx a few months ago. And saw online that FX projectors can be used to install into my headlights. I was wondering if there was a local installer or shop that can do the retrofit?
Thanks,
Mark

His question seems pretty straight forward. 
Seeing as lighting is approved by DOT, I'd assume there is no reputable shop that'll do the project, at least not for a decent price. Besides, after parts and labor, you probably wouldn't be too far from the price of JDM/EDM's

Since you asked me about my retros that I used to own, here's some useful info I found back when I was looking for a set. Take your time, and it shouldn't be too hard.
The Write-up. How To Retrofit FX35 Projectors Into an 02-03 Bugeye - NASIOC
I've owned both, FXR retro and JDM Black Chrome HID with corrected LHD plates, and the FXR's output is 100% better then the stock JDM HIDs, IMO. You can pick up a set of retrofits for $600 now a days (search Nasioc classifieds), and the JDMs are still $800+. Now if you wanted the ultimate set up, buy some JDM black chromes and do a s2k retrofit into that =D

Can't go wrong with FXRs:
My car is lowered, and I'm on a slight downward slope in those pics.
Now that I have a GC, my plan is to get some retros ASAP!
