Howdy troops,

I've got a lovely blobeye sti, nicely upgraded.

My request is how to improve light, I've a mighty intercooler on the front which caused the need to remove the fog lights. I live in a rural spot, dark winding roads.

I've had the thought to potential fit roof bars then rally spot lights to the bar?

Any thoughts on this or alternative ideas?

Thanks

 

Would a decent pair of led strips or them thin Lord lights at the front be an option
Nice car love the plate SHG

 

Ah yes the reg was an interesting choice of the previous owner!

Where would light strips blend in. I've made a slight change you'll see in the picture.

 

I'd have a smaller plate but put it wer the original hose to measure nice splitter maybe the led strips between the splitter and bumper winglets maybe? The headlights are so crystal like new as is the car if that's how you like it then that's all thT matters

 

Is it a jdm?? With the mirrors folded in I'm taking a guess

 

Ah yes good spot, Jdm with every piece of paperwork from the original sales receipt from Tokyo Subaru!

Where would I get a smaller plate? I've not had much luck finding a place.

 

Measure the width of the bumper bit wer plate goes on find a decent motorbike shop take your logbook and drivers licencse bro cost tenner tops it'll look bang on it'll bring it all together I always think of evos when the plates in that position not there is anything wrong with that pal

Just out the paint shop.

 

Freshly sprayed bumper with protective mesh to cover the intercooler

 

Front end with FMIC, car now has facelift bumper/grille.




Dips, GE Megalight 60% uprated, in Morettes.
This was before the car was fitted with crystal lights containing HID projectors.




Morette main beams now lit too, H2 55W bulbs




And the full set, now with the Hella 1000FF driving lights.
Foreground looks over-lit, but this is the photo, since they were all taken on a fixed setting to show the relative brightness.


You CAN still have foglights with an FMIC, my classic has full-sized Hella 1000FF DRIVING lights in place with the FMIC, although you have to modify the brackets.

What about a pair of 90mm Hella lights, and using the foglight covers with holes, like the P1 had?

Or upgrade your headlights with uprated bulbs, like Halfords Ultra, Osram Nightbreaker, Ring 120%, etc?

Or, since you have single filament bulbs in your lights, uprate the dips with an HID kit, buy a decent one and DO NOT go over 5000K, 4300K is even better.

Here's some pics of my classic light outputs:

 

Are jdm headlights not hid thingie allready as mine are and I don't think the old chap b4 me put them on

 

Thanks for the ideas guys, I'll give the hella lights a go with some tinkering of brackets. Could they just connect to the front fog light wires and switch?

 

Some are, it was an option? The above car doesn't have them

 

No, to be legal, you need them wired so as to come on with main beam and go off when dipped....and to be honest, forget legal, it's so much easier than feeling for a switch to switch on, switch off etc.

Easy enough to do, post again when you have some lights and the covers, or modded covers. Costs about £10 and half an hour.
