Im complete noob/clueless about lighting or electrical stuff and im wonder which HID kit is right (plug-n-play) for 13' frs. What i need to look? Need to buy spare bulbs? Which brand vs brand? Worth it?

Try to find BRZ take offs. They'll fit like OEM (coincidentally) and you won't have reflector issues like you would putting an HID bulb into a halogen reflector housing.

There ain't nutten wrong with the lights that came with your car.

Heck, if my old, tired eyes, can see at night, in the rain ...... yours should be able to see also ......

Oh, I do leave my turn signal on to make other drivers aware of my presence and leave the brights on to make sure oncoming traffic can see me ...... and I'm prepared to slam on the brakes, when mrs humfrz screams ......

Because plumbers never keep their appointments.

If it's gonna cost more than a hundred or so it's not worth it. My gf has a Z with HIDs and they are brighter but not by much. I think having the projector is the biggest deal concerning the headlights

Getting rear ended sucks. A lot.

Yep.
And just because it's a halogen projector, doesn't necessarily mean it'll work properly with HIDs.

If you do decide to go with it, The Retrofit Source makes/sells great stuff. Don't get the cheap ass eBay kits.

The creek is roaring. This is good. The well isn't going to run out of water for at least another year.

Far enough to have no city water, and close enough to get to BART in 10 minutes. Target takes 12 minutes.
