Wouldn't do it but still always nice to see what people think of

that is mean great job man, it's entertaining watching the whole process.

[Mr.Jay]

that looks ridiculously good. I also surprising thought the black with the chrome accent didn't look too bad either deff going to give this a shout after hearing how the hold up in the rain

Yeah I used a Flat black that I had lying around. I mainly left the High beam reflector chrome for some contrast. I should have left the outer ring of the projector chrome as well.

I think it looks great. And the chrome remaining for the high beam reflector doesn't look bad at all imo. In fact, I'm wondering what it would look like if the projector shroud remained chrome as well. hmmmm..

what you have to do is put in bi-xenon projectors when the retrofit source comes out with them. then have the high beams wired to both the yellow and the high beam of the projector so you have functional high beams and the cool yellow look.

Bam! That is a great idea!

[Lee358]

You will have your proper cut off you will have a wicked bright highbeam and look bad ass

I was going to suggest this as well. They have it for the WRX already, so it may be a direct drop in. I would suggest contacting them to see if they know if it will work.

It's true. Those stickers that negatively impact drivability and safety are a doozy. We need laws against that sort of thing.

Please post the _bottom_ cut-off of your light pattern. Then compare to BRZ. I bet the glare (esp. in the wet) from lack of proper bottom cut-off from your HIDs is dreadful.
