Just been driving all day with the LED DRL's, I didn't get any flashbacks or comments that the lights blinded them.

Do a comparison with one headlight with the stock bulb, and one with the 6500k LED so we can see what it looks like, please.

I doubt these are bright enough or spread light well enough.

Pictures don't do them justice. It looks better than the halogens IMHO I can see everything much clearer.

Im with Nick on this and previously had LEDs in a projector housing. Roughly same color. Output was dangerously attrocious.

Cool, yeh these work very well. I'd like a 360 deg bulb but couldn't find any under $90

Kind of off topic... But I've noticed a render of what looks like a WRX headlamp in your recent emails.
Are you guys developing a replacement "C" light?

I got these in, id say compared to the stock ones they're a bit better but think I might hit HIDs just because they might give me a further throw. These do illuminate much wider. Though with some of the country driving I do it'd be helpful for a further one.

One note, I hit the high beams on with these and actually wouldn't say there was much of an increased range of visibility.
For city driving I'd say these are a good alternative to stock without the hid glare? Not sure if that's a fair assessment. Just my opinion

Our engineering team has been indeed working on several new Subaru products, which we will be manufacturing here in St. Louis.
