Sti lights
Anyone interested in some STI lights recovered from a 2005 STI? I have both the driver and passenger side housings which includes the HID ballasts and bulbs. The driver side (or was it the passenger side? I'll post pictures tomorrow) housing is cracked and probably not repairable, although the other side looks intact. I'm pretty sure the ballasts and bulbs still work, but I would have to test them first. Any questions or anyone interested, i'd like to hear from you. Thanx for looking.

I would say no due to the STI lights being height adjustable. The ballast and bulbs won't work on a 04-05 WRX either.

I know this because I painted the inside of my STI lights and got moisture in one after 3-4 monthes and was just gonna buy some WRX lights because they are cheaper but ni dice...Housing's are different where bulb goes in.

The HID bulbs (D2R's) will not fit your '02 WRX. The base of the bulbs are different and the spring latch will not hold. That is one problem. The second problem is your wiring harness. It's not made to go into an HID ballast and motor. It's also not made to fit the '04 parking light, blinker and seperate hi and low beams.
As a suggestion, I'd get get some LHD STi headlights and pickup an aftermarket HID kit. LHD STi Headlights because they are made for Left hand side driving and they are projectors. Projectors focus the light onto the road better illuminating things farther away with more power. Reflectors lose a huge amount of light because the light is not focused. It goes everywhere.

Sorry, the only thing available was the lights. I'll post pix as soon as I can. And yeah, I don't think it'll work on 2002 WRX'S, if it did, it'd be on mine!! More like a replacement/spare for someone who already has an STI.
