Default New Headlights

Hello All.
So i have a 2005 WRX300 blob and was wondering if theres any good current options for new headlights that would be an upgrade from the standard ones?
Possibly led. Or if thats not an option is there a good set of better bulbs i can get into my standard housing?
Thanks in advance

There are numerous options with online bulb suppliers. Just put your reg in and all the bulbs will come up. Decent bright ones can be a fair few quid but definitely worth it.
Getting the outside lens all clear is also easy. Fine wet and dry, and something like the Maguire's headlight kit, less than an hour's work.

JDM HID Headlights. Although they are still only reflector lens rather than proper projectors on the Bugeye (lots of Subaru cost cutting on the Blobs!).

Probably not the cheapest option but OEM so no problem come MoT time.

You can just stick more powerful bulbs in the stock housings, although full beam is never really an issue, it's dipped beam that is the problem and you don't get the focused cutoff with the stock housing. So putting more powerful dipped beam bulbs generally ends up dazzling on-coming traffic.
