Dry fitted. Work well but needs a bit more tweaking.
Cold, wet and dark outside when I fitted them (just now), so pics were quick.
HID Projector vs Halogen:
Both sides working:
Need to crack them open (completley) again so might not be until next weekend.

Having been for a drive with them I can say the light spread is very good and they work the same as factory HID projectors. They look pretty smart in the headlamps too 
Starting over again next weekend though to get things right.

BOB, the beam pattern should be horizontal & the cut off looks like it's set up for lhd (probably physically 'switchable' within each unit )

What BOB is experimenting with is doing away with the old halogen bulbholder and fitting a proper HID projector in it's place.
Projectors come in two basic types: single beam, for either dip, or main, and bi-beam, for both.
The classic Scoob needs the sesond type, having one bulb that does both in halogen fitting.

Interesting... will I be able to get a refund on the H4 HID Kit I just bought from you? (Just kidding!)
Something else for my "to buy" list but I am very impressed with your H4 HIDs anyway.. so no rush :-)

When you say off the shelf would this just be a case of removing old lights and plugging these in? If so any idea an the price? I'd be very interested.

Yeah, the aim is to provide them already fitted into headlamps on an exchange basis, so that you can just fit them and off you go, without having the car off the road.
No idea on the price just yet as we haven't quite got it right yet.
Keep an eye on this thread though

Would they come in the crystal style headlamp?
Will be very interested to see the finished product.

So would these be a classic headlight with one projector which does both dipped and main beam??
And then you would wire up a HID kit to the projector?
If so i would be really interested in this....I recently contacted a company in America that retrofits projectors into any headlights, but he could only supply single low beam projectors only for the classics and said there would be no room to fit two projectors in a classic impreza headlamp
This here sounds like a great idea!!....how come these single projectors with high/low beam in one unit are not so widely known of then??
