Anyone local want to help?

I just got a set of the subi mods HID kits and want to install ASAP before my trip to N.C. next week. Anyone want to give me a hand so I don't screw it up?? I hate electronics in cars, I'm sure I could handle it, but a second opinion, or even better, someone who has done it before, would be awesome!!! Thanks

I just did mine during lunch break last week. It's simple.

Lobstah, I might take you up on it. I have to go to Gabes on Wednesday after work, and I doubt I'll have time after. We'll see what happens, and I'll let you know. Thanks!!

[EddieHunt05]

[EddieHunt05]

Do you have headlights made for HID's? if you have stock reflector lighting assembly then you should not use HID's in them cause you will be blinding other drivers.

Unless your 04-05 has STI headlights then you have the wrong headlights for HID's. I was in the same boat thinking you could just throw a kit on your stock lights and BAM have a nice set of HID's but more i researched I found that you NEED to have the proper reflectors for HID's

I'm not arguing with you about the reflectors not being the right set up.. I'm just saying that with my blobeye headlights my aim is not bad and have had no problems yet with blinding on coming traffic

 

[WDPballer]

You don't need.. its a good idea.. but i lucked out and my cut and aim was pretty good with my relectors

.....your reflectors are the same ones any one with an 04-05 WRX has...HID bulbs are different then regular halogen which your lights are designed for.
