i spent the past 3 hours reading up on these lights and i've been getting a mixed feedback/info :confused:

1) the beam pattern is for RHD so if used inthe US, itll blind on-coming drivers. However, i read that this isnt the case.

Post #5 & 7

everyone says get the EDM setup cause its the same as the JDM ones but with the correct beam pattern, where do i get it? no on e seems to have any for sale :confused:

2) its plug and play for an STi, but i have a wrx. so would i have to go out and get all those leveling switches, motors etc. to have the STi light setup? Who has put these into their wrx and what did you do?

Thanks!
Justin

There tend to always be some avaiable in the for sale area of the site. Just search there from time to time and you can also check eBay. I belive the leveling motor is a part of the headlight, the problem is wiring the switch to work. Also be prepared to do some wire splicing and make sure you have your DRLs diconnected. There are some people that sell wiring harnesses that are a direct match for the HIDs, so again just kind of search around and see what you can find. I haven not done this mod yet, but really want to so I have done quite a bit of reading. Biggest thing holding me back is that right now lights are going for around $700.

Also from everything I have heard the USDM lights have the best beam pattern. The JDM ones can get close, but just are never quite right. Hope this helps.
