You're not having mine LOL
As said, the STi lights are very good out of the box and *much* of an improvement on the WRX ones. I'm also running Vision Plus in the dips, and Philips Rallye 100w in the mains.
About to HID the dips, and add drive lamps too........

Have seen a thread about it a while back, but don't know what the outcome was. Obviously the lights physically fit, but I believe there is a possible issue with the wiring. Has anyone tried and tested this set-up?
Thanks for your replies.

both, unless you want to pay Subaru's inflated prices, £315 per unit.Fitting requires the loom to be cut, but I'm looking into seeing if a connector can be made. Can keep you posted if interested.

Marcus - as Boultsy has said, the chances of sourcing second hand ones are slim m8. STi7 owners seem to be happy with their lights! - shame we WRX owners cann't say the same!
Added complication of messing with the wiring loom has all but put me off - dealer would need to be invloved to keep warranty - price then get into silly money. (getting on for £1000 for lights!)
Hope you have more luck than Boultsy, myself and several others in finding 2nd hand ones.

Have been waiting for my STi7 lights for a rather long time now. I need LHD ones which are probably even more rare than RHD. I ordered them new and will be paying the rather hefty price. The lights are now finally at the dealer after waiting for them to arrive from Japan (apparently no spares in Europe).
But the dealer will also get me "converter" wiring so that I can just plug the STi lights onto the standard WRX wiring without doing any cutting. This is the piece that is still missing but he says any day now... Can't wait!
Will post the outcome when I get the kit.

Nice one Jah.
Any chance you could drop me an email so that I can keep in touch, a converter is the route I was looking to take, very interested.
