Ok, so I want HID's for my 00 RS. I've seen the ones that just replace the stock bulb, but i want something different. Yes, i enjoy the look of the stock headlights, however, i also like the GC8 STI HID's that i've recently seen on ravensblade-impreza.com

http://www.ravensblade-impreza.com/techdocs/hlights/hlights.html

So, where can i get a set? I'd need not only the housings, but also all the electrical stuff to go with an HID conversion (ballasts, ignitors, everything).

I'm still just thinking of what i want to do, and dont quite have any funding yet (wait, i just found a penny in the couch cushion... total fund: $.01) so any help is appreciated.

Your link does not work because Ravensblade doesn't allow hotlinking to images from outside the site.
From what I know about those lights they are difficult to come by and very, very expensive.

The STI HID's for the GC8 are like $2500.

Better off getting a HID set from; http://www.importhookup.com/

importhookup's site is not really running (at least not right now). I've tried to find anything about HID, but their search doesn't work, their forums about lighting dont work, and their HID webpage link... well... guess what... doesn't work.

Guess i'll keep looking

I believe importhookup no longer sells HID retrofit kits due to the NHTSA regulations. This is true for many other vendors as well.
There is no comparison between the lighting performance of a set of OEM HIDs and an aftermarket retrofit. Unfortunately the options for GCs are limited compared to those available for GDs.
