I got mine from Ben (IDOLYZ) for $150. 8000k HID's running in an 02sti projector headlamp, so I have had no issues.

Cnut of a thing to adjust tho, getting it right... I had 74 flashes from people the first night I fitted them, from Joondalup to Armadale and back... Im still not happy with the position of them, so if anyone is an expert at adjusting them, let me know, i can arrange beers

I also feel i NEED the HID's because my eyesight is that bad at night, it really helps me to see what im doing and where im going.

I reckon running HID's through reflectors is pretty crazy .. I have seen a few people who have done it successfully but i have also seen and been driving towards people who have not !!

If i come across someone who has hids in their 1984 reflector housing it's nasty and expect to be flashed.

Projectors FTW, nice clean lines, nice clean cut-off.

You're running the Aus Spec STI Projectors i assume.

I got some JDM ones with the levellers, but i don't have a cable to connect to the levelling assy on my WRX.

It would appear that the 'adjustment' wheels on the rear of the housing also has an effect of sweet fuck all.

Mine seem to be levelled quite nicely though.

that would be me... but unfortunately i'm not doing any more group buys.

i'm glad everyone is still happy with their kits. I am with mine, although i need to adjust them up slightly but have been having difficulties like you Kym, just can't adjust it enough or get it right

I'm pretty sure your low and high beams are separate.
H1 for low beam

someone else can confirm high beam, but could be HB3
