Default P1 spot lights - where from?

Tried to do a search but didn't come up with anything suitable.

I'd like to get the P1 front spots for my car but can't find anywhere that sells them? (or their aftermarket equivelent (sp) )

I'm sure I've seen this asked before but can't find it.

cheers

Lamps: any Hella dealer, to order.
Brackets: any decent Scoob parts dept, to order.

Lamp part numbers: Halogen, 1KO 008 191- 017
HID, (Xenon), 1KO 008 192-017

Dunno the Scoob part numbers , sorry, a decent dealer will though.

Make sure you're sat down if you ask the price of the HID bits, but they ARE worth it!

If you haven't got them already, you may also need the foglight covers with the small hole, (approx 100mm dia) in them, available from DR Motorsport, among others.

Thanks for that Alcazar

Any idea on price and best place to get them? I should have the surrounds shortly and will need to P1 mounting bracket assuming Subaru will oblige.

cheers

I'd think the price will be much the same wherever...........they are a Hella part and to order. ANY Hella dealer will oblige. Expect around £140 per pair for halogen and £600 per pair for HID, maybe those are on the high side.............
Ring around a few dealers for prices.

IIRC, Demon Tweeks did these too, but price was VERY similar.......

They look pretty good. Not sure about the car colour scheme though

How easy were they to fit?

ALL the parts are available from your Subaru dealer and the prices for the lamps at least will be significantly less than you would be led to believe.

Halogen lamps are approx, £40 and £200 for the HID flavour (plus chancellors cut)
They are 90mm dia. and are also found on Fords, Volkswagons, Audi's etc

Is that £200 EACH for the HID versions? Still less than they used to be, even after VAT

Yep, those prices are each.
I've got the HID's on my car and despite the cost, they really are worth the money. Night time driving is unbelievably good for such a small lamp.

I have to agree, although mine are the 1000FF's as sold originally by Scoobysport.

The small 90mm lights don't appear anywhere on the Hella website, not in product info, the virtual light tunnel, nowhere

Sorry to highjack the thread but would the 90mm HID units fit an MY03 blobeye?
The halogen PIAA kit from Subaru is £325 so would much prefer to go down the HID route for the driving lights if shelling out that sort of money.

Would they fit? The brackets might.............but the covers almost certainly aren't available

Just tracked those 90mm HID units down on Demon Tweeks. Now I know they aren't always the cheapest place, but they want £322 EACH inc VAT!!!

Makes Mike Wood's Subaru prices VERY attractive, if correct........

The 90mm lamps are not spotlamps or driving lamps, they are headlamps in the Hella catalogue.

Yeah, I know mate, I have the page in front of me as we speak(??)

Same beam pattern, anyway.

Can you get replacement lenses for the hid kit or do you need to buy the whole lamp?

Replacement lenses are NOT listed on the page I have, but I'd honestly think that if you spent that much, Hella would probably sell you a new lens.

Give 'em a ring and ask........their head office (UK) is in Banbury.

they were a doddle

the lamps come with brackets, these were bolted to sum zinc plates corner brackets i got from the local DIY shop for 0.99p, which were slightly bent into shape, to screw into the bumper.

took about 10mins each side
there actually pretty dam bright, but there never switched on unless i am right out in the sticks sumwhere (not that often)
i converted the front end to 99/00 spec after a slight mishap, i needed sumthing to fill the hole in the free covers i got, these lights fit 100%

I've got one of these in the attic at moment:


Its an HID 90mm lense but with an extra hole for sidelight that can be taped over.
