GC8 new driving light spot...
I just added some small thin driving lights to the unused little brake ducts in the front bumper cover. They produce a thin flat beam. I wired them to the factory fog-light circuit since I don't use it anymore. I only had to make one small custom aluminum bracket to make them fit. They actually fit great! They are APC brand with blue glass lenses. They added a noticable amount of light too, without blinding oncoming traffic...

wow
whoa...those are definitely sweet. how long did it take you to do all the work? where did you get the lights and everything...? oh, and putting these lights in the ducts, does that cause anything bad? blinding on coming traffic is bad? 
thanks
ps. nice job

that's where I found them I think it's one of
the coolest mods I've seen. I have a MY99
and I keep my sti fog covers on all the time
now that I broke one fog light and haven't
been able to afford to replacement yet...
APC lights would be much cheaper if one
should meet a rock.

I just hated the fact that those little ducts were there but had no function, so I installed the new APC driving lights there. The grill kit was from a group buy here on the i-club but I don't remember who the vendor was. The other driving lights I have are the PIAA XT80 Pro with pencil beam pattern. They are so bright it is insane. I don't even turn them on unless I am out of the city. I wired the PIAA's and the Morette high beams to come on together so I have 6 lights on when my high beams are on (both Morettes and the PIAA's). Looks like a 747 on final approach...

Where did you get those headlights (morettes?)? I've been looking for a pair... Also how much did they cost? was it on the same scale as WRX lights or is it a little more reasonable?
