Also, if you're doing HID's, do NOT use H1 bulbs. Get D2S bulbs and the light output is great and so is the fitment. You will need D2S > Amp adapters if you already have ballasts. Otherwise, get a new HID kit made for D2S. Lastly, you can retrofit the whole thing to whatever you want. Mine are wired for DRL's so I have my high beams on in this picture to get them to show. Second picture is the hole I drilled for the HID's that I originally had for the H1 bulbs and the rubber grommet. You don't need to drill ones this big if you use D2S.
Matt do you mind taking some beam pics at night? Im sure more people than just me would be appriciative of this

Absolutely, I need to check my adjustments anyway so I will grab some shots of the cutoff.

Snapped a few pics. Probably not the best, but I got the height adjusted where I want. I'm guessing the side adjusters do nothing with HID's? I saw no change when I adjusted them.

@FR-S Matt

Looks like the bomb diggity, D2S bulbs right? looks like 4300K. I remember someone's review of these saying they didnt give much light output. these look fine to me, although I dont know if his review was with the bulbs that came with or D2S bulbs.

Clean! Can't wait for the BRZ version. Changing out the headlights was low on the list of mods, but these will be purchased on release day.

they can easily plug right in on the BRZ, you just need to pull the pins off the connector from the BRZ and off the Spec D and put the connector from the BRZ on the Spec D.. its easy to do, and id do a how to, but i havent seen anyone want to down grade from the BRZ projector the the "projector" they put in the spec D setup.. we was not impressed at all.. i am doing a retrofit on a set of Spec D's next week and checking the possibility of changing out the LED's in the DRL to something that can actually be seen during the day
