I was happy with my light output too before I had my retrofitted my car with HID projectors, now I can never go back to halogen reflectors, they're so dingy and dim. Plus a nice set of HID projectors surely gets heads turning when you drive by.

If I had the cajones I would try the retrofit it myself. I am hoping that there will be aftermarket headlights at some point.

Glad you guys like them.
I got them from the retrofit source, they are the Bi-xenon Morimoto Mini Stage III Kit (D2S) with upgraded ballasts (which is a direct OEM bolt on). I have the aero splash guards and strake kit and I want the rally armors too but I have to do some cutting in order to get the rally armors to fit, which is a pita. So I guess I will leave them as is for now. Quote:

Anyone know the longest/widest 198 led bulb you can fit in the "eye brow" parking light housing?

Was it a hard install for that kit? They also have that quik-retrofit kit that they make for the impreza 2011, which apparently fits on the 2012 too.

My good friend is a head technician at a Subaru dealership. His price on parts is about the same prices you see on subaruonlineparts.com. The discount is not as good as you think!

On a separate note the festoon bulbs for the map and dome lights are 31 mm? I've ordered 2 each of the 12 SMD and 16 SMD ones. http://www.ebay.ca/itm/120970661537?...84.m1439.l2649 http://www.ebay.ca/itm/170868314745?...84.m1439.l2649 I'm hoping they are the right ones and they fit.

Wondering the same thing since I had the footwell illumination kit in my 2011. Looking for a red "tactical" look in my 2012.

Also curious if anyone has installed the Whiteline HD 20mm rear sway bar on a 2012 impreza yet? If the 19mm STI bar will fit, the 20mm should be good without too much oversteer. They are on eBay for $150 including bushings.
Also curious what the 35w DDM kit in 5000k would look like a s a replacement in our projector housing. I've heard so many say it's not ideal, but if it's brighter without blinding people, what's the downside? Just picked up my premium yesterday and already swapped my RA mudflaps from my 2011 and they look great. Tint, low beams and aftermarket fogs are next. |

Sorry, I meant reflector. So what bulbs are people using to upgrade the factory lighting without retrofitting reflectors? I read this entire thread, and there are a few references to LED, but those aren't as bright as halogen.
