well, how often do people get pulled over for retrofit lights anyway? the bacon is looking for tinted windows and loud exhausts more often than brighter lights.
It depends on how smart the cop is and if they can tell if its a retrofit or not. Also, its not only leo's that can get you. The bar and vehicle inspections count too. I'm just stating the obvious and not intending to get into a statistical debate on whether how many people will get pulled over.

arguments on the internet are not my forte bro. i'm sure the new projectors will be less conspicuous than the full blown HIDs that were in there before. if i were to do it again with the lights, i'd probably just leave them alone with all the orangy goodness of the reflectors lol.

on man... this could be bad lmao
for real tho, i wanna see what they look like. i already have the 04 tails which are by far the best tails subaru ever put out but if the retrofit rears look cool i might hate you for showing them to me.

Yea a member on here got pulled over for their jdm bugeye projectors headlights. The dot stamp saved them. But that doesn't mean these housings are dot approved for the projector retrofit. Theres a difference lol. It has to be there from factory.

if one of the admins could merge the threads that'd be legit.
