They really have some good stuff. Soldering is good, brightness is good, LED's are not all crooked or give off super glue fumes, and they are VERY well priced!

psh no way. Not from Diode. All of my LED's from them are plug and play, no modification needed. I actually found that the trunk LED they have fits in the vanity door lights on the BRZ limited models (does the 10 series have these?).

I can vouch for Diode Dynamics. Great guys! Hooked me up with my LED side mirror turn signals that I absolutely LOVE! And my amber fog light bulbs for that classic AE86 look!

Switchbacks, rear signals with aluminum housing (my car has a billet theme lol), 5 LEDs for clear corners license plate and trunk, ordered the relay, and also hid kit for my fogs. Can't wait! Great customer service.

Are you not worried about the HIDs burning the plastic fog light housings? That's why I haven't got mine yet. Either going with Outback glass replacements or 2012+ Impreza halo ring fog light replacements. This is all assuming the 10 Series is also plastic. |

I haven't checked up on it in months, honestly, but apparently people were either slightly melting or having burn-in. I had a WRX with glass fogs, so I know the trade off is that glass is way, way, way more susceptible to cracking, but you can put HIDs in them all day. Our plastic ones are nice for not cracking (mine are still strong after 25k, being in Alaska, and driving to southern California and back), but I can definitely see where there would be burning. I'm sure it depends on how often you use them as well.
Nothing wrong with getting the HID kit you want first, trying them out, and then maybe getting more appropriate fogs later. I had fogs on my 2001 Impreza 2.5RS coupe and those were also very prone to cracking. Alaska is hell on front ends, though. Edit: Yeah, I forgot about 35w vs higher. I prefer 35w, too, so let me know how it goes! |
