i bought mine special order for $375
it he had to special order them because i got 6500K and he only had 8300K in stock http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...ayphotohosting
bought it from this seller on ebay, he is reliable, sends everything nicely. it is relabeled by mecca tune but hella authorized it. the sticker mecca tune covers the hella ballasts, if you take off the sticker you will see it says Hella, made in germany. these babies go on porche, benz, and bmw's stock. super high quality. i highly recommend.

Others have discussed this many times before, but putting HID bulbs into the stock headlight housing is a bad idea, and a waste of your investment. HID bulbs have a very different filament structure and bulb shape, and the reflectors in your headlight are NOT aimed properly to focus the HID bulb light.
That's why cars that ship with HID lights from the factory often have those smaller "projector" style housings, not the cone-shaped reflectors in the WRX lights. Get some projectors to go with these, or all that light will be wasted.

they are aimed just the way i want them, if i bought jdm housing headlights, then yes, i would get the full potential of the hid light, it would be much brighter but i dont want that because it blinds people and cops will bust me, with the usdm housing i get the perfect result i want, itll be bright and light up much better than my halogens, look better t han my halogens, and at the same time mediate the lighting so that it doesnt bother people on the street and cops.
in my case, i want the hid lights to be clean, not super bright

6500K just perfect, didnt want 8300K too bright, dont wanna bother people on the road or get busted by cops.
