OK, so I got some sleep last night and woke up refreshed to install the lamps into the car.



So I am installing HIDs as well, in both the low and high beams. 5000k (white) into the projectors, and 3000k (yellow) into the high beams. I expect that I will have very poor high beam intensity because of the blacked out reflectors, but we'll see.



Got the HID kits prewired to test them. All looks good so far.



Low beam H11 bulb to HID H11 5000k bulb.



High beam 9005 bulb to HID 9005 3000k bulb.



One thing I want to note is the incredibly stupid design of the sidemarkers. Removing them without any damage to the clip seems nearly impossible and when I reinstalled them the clips were bent, so I tried to bend them back and they BOTH broke. So my temporary solution is to drill a hold in the plastic clip support and run a zip tie through the hole once the light is in place. It works, but it is ghetto. I'll probably order the JDM clear lights, but I expect that they will have the same exact problem. Stupid stupid stupid Subaru!!!

And now, without further delay...









They look SICK! Yes, my high-beams are pretty much useless now, but it's worth it for the sexy, sexy look. I will install some HID spot light/driving lights in the near future that will replace the high-beam's job.



The low-beam cutoff is pretty good. There are a couple of very light artifacts above the cutoff line, but nothing that would be distracting to oncoming drivers. Overall, I am extremely happy and I will report back after a couple of rainy days to let you know if moisture enters the lamp housing.
