I've got some Hella DE installed into the foglight OEM foglight cover. I think they look pretty good. I'll take some pics of the lights and post them tomorrow. They are very bright for their size.

Well, I did some research before I got the Hella DE installed. The only lights that would fit is OEM foglights and Hella DE's. Anything larger would require cutting or replacing the USDM bumper beam with a JDM one.

I was debating which route should I take for a while, until a friend of mine reminded me if I mod the bumper beam in anyway, the insurance company can refuse coverage in case of accident. The whole installation costed me $200 CDN. Which is very cheap compare to if I were choosing the larger foglight, which would cost me around $700 USD installed.

check w/subaruparts.com and see how much the lights and switches. PIAA also makes a direct fit kit for the WRX, but uses separate PIAA switches, not OEM switch. See witch route is cheaper. Got PIAA's in my stock lamps.
