    Im looking at getting an HID conversion kit for my 07' WRX. Does anybody have any ideas? Who make good dpendable conversion kits. Also, is there an HID conversion for my fog lamps? Probebly not looking to spend much more than $400-$500.

    Hrm. I would think you could have better uses for that $500. The 06+ WRX comes with projector beam headlights, but to each his/her own.

    ^^^ I have that exact kit on my '06.

    No issues; just wish I could've gotten something more like a 4500k kit instead.

    why do you want the 4500k instead of the 8000K? I have the 8000k in my car and I love it... Thinking about getting them for my fogs as well and for beths car.

    More light output. Then there's the personal preference of not looking like a honduh...

    And why would you want more light for fogs? That means there's just more to reflect off it.

    yup, hid-lights.com. I know alot of guys are running them now without issue. It's the X5 kit on there, and you can pick it up for under 200 bucks.

    Talk to Josh from Import image. I think I picked up my 4300k kit for the $260 area. The higher the k output, the less light output you have. if you want to keep the road lit up while it is raining out, keep it less than 6k. Anthing over 6.5k is just bling and you actually have less good light hitting the road.

    You can get a 4300K kit from http://www.xenonrider.com for pretty cheap. I have the HID's in my bike from there, and no complaints.

    I also have the 8000K kit in my 03 WRX from hid-lights.com. Also very good with no complaints.

    Hehe, just to throw another wrench in the works;

    $155 with lifetime warranty on the ballasts and everything, or just $130 for a 1 year warranty. 4500k, 5000k, 6000k

    http://www.xenonexpert.com/ddm_kit_sale.html


    Nice thing is the ballasts are SUPER small so it's easy to mount/hide them.
