i'm running 7000k HID.. in the heavy rain it's definately hard to see without any road reflector on the ground
but i remember with my old car.. even with halogen it was hard to see.
but anyways as long as it looks good..
or if one day hid housing drop in price.. i'll change it.. = p
i rahter spend that money on suspension

I think it will be years before hid hosing drops in price
you get wut u pay for...wrx housings werent made for hid's, so the lighting will not compare to those housings that are made for them...next time we meet up, we can park side by side and do a quick comparison...eddie, im not tryin to knock ur hid's...jus thought i'd point that out...

retro fit cost more than that.. just paying for the projector will cost you 400-700$ depend on quality..
buying JDM take off is $700+
and that's only the housing.. we not even talking about getting bulb and ballist
that's big price difference..
it's just like getting JDM fog light..
it's big investment and for most ppl it's not worth the money.
