trade your sti HID for 04-05 wrx/rs headlights plus $300-$400 cash, then modify those, I highly recommend going that route. It'll only cost you $200-$300 to retrofit including ballasts and projectors. Look on ebay for infinity ballasts, they are exactly the same as suby and can be had for pretty cheap < $100. projectors are less than $100 usually too.

i'm sure that wont be a problem, I traded my headlights for the sti 05's with cash on top, and I'd do it again in a heart beat; best non suspension upgrade you can make imo.
