yes, I am sorry about the repetitive posting on your thread JDMSTA. I will start another thread under the Impreza forums for the SMD halo questions and install if I go that route. I am leaning towards the SMD's around the round part of the headlight, instead of around the projector itself, more like the E55 BMW, or some E46 have them installed the same way. Thank you for your help and input advise, well appreciated.

^ happy to hear that! Did u need the "decoder" that is offered to go with some of the bulbs out there? I'm considering getting some similar LEDs to make my DRLs yellow. I never use my high beams anyways..

nah, no decoder of some sort needed. the only thing I needed was some in line spliced resistors for the blinkers since I've upgraded those to some cree leds as well.

Hello,
Can you please tell me what you used for the eyebrow light? I don't know what to buy to change it. |

hey, didnt get a chance to retrofit the fogs with HID if that is what you are asking. All I've done was add the fogs to the car....getting the car back from the shop soon since the accident, so I'll be able to work on it more. However, I am afraid I won't be adding HIDs to the fogs because I don't want the housing to melt and catch fire like an STI that was posted previously. The front bumper caught fire bc of HIDs in the fogs. |

Excellent thread, I just finished reading it all. Subscribed! I'm also interested in retrofitting my fogs so keep us up to date.

Alright guys, I've decided to put my fogs back to factory and just use LEDs on it and mod it to use as DRL. Reason being, I only use my fogs in bad weather like rain and especially snowy nights. Well after a couple of snowy nights driving. My retrofitted fogs are pretty much useless. All the snow and slush just piles up against the fogs which pretty much makes it useless. That's why now I've decided to do a quad setup instead using the tiny Morimoto Matchbox projectors in place of the high beam area and use that as my fogs instead. Well enough talking, now onto pictures. Sorry for the daytime pictures being kinda crappy because I took it with my camera phone.
How ya'll like my "switchback" LED strips? Close up of the cutoff lines |

yeah I kept the original blinker since its more brighter in the daytime. The strips I used are these http://www.exledshop.com/universal-l...ver2-copy.html and they're not that bight in the daytime. Its more of an aesthetic than anything. I also wired leds inside the Matchbox projectors as amber blinkers as well. I hardly use the fogs like I said, only in bad weather so I figured I go that route.

I'd wait for Trs to start carrying the x.strip, they're the same leds as the xbaleds which are very bright

I dunno, the way the XBALED rings voltage regulators failing like crazy. I'd wait even longer for them to release a fix for that.

Oh its not wired to be independant. I just did quick mod to run it as DRL instead of the high beam. That pic there with the fogs and inner projectors on is just with the e-brake down to activate the DRL.

He has his low beams and fogs on at the same time in his pics tho... is that because the fog switch will override the DRLs?
