Just ordered HIDs
hey, just ordered them for my 06 TR.
but i have a question.
someone told me i will need centering adapters which go on the bulbs so they will align properly in the H7 mounts. any ideas where i can get these? checked ebay like i was suggested to but could not find any.
thanks!!

If you ordered the H7 setup, then i think you will be fine.
coz these are rebased bulbs, not D2S, so you don't need adpator for your H7 housing.

check to make sure that the drl disable method is the same for the 06's from the 05 and earlier models; i say this because on the legacy line-up, subaru redesigned the drl lines in such a way that you can no long just simply un-plug the cables... but rather have to cut them. so double check w/ your fellow 06 owners before doing so.

it's alright in the stock projectors... the cutoff is not as crisp as i would like. my last car had oem 7-series projectors retrofitted in to the housings so i'm leaning towards putting some oem projectors in these housings too. the e46 projectors are dirt cheap now.
