Default Headlights

Hello, I'm looking to buy a new set of crystal headlights but the only ones I can find are the ones for the Uk version with auto adjustment.

My is an import so need the ones with the manual adjustment

Any idea where I can get a set from?

Thanks Claire

afaik you can just fit them and leave the elec motor disconnected. They're not auto adjust, they work off a switch in the car. The motor is only to drop the beam down when theres a heavy load in the back of the car! They have the ability to manually adjust the beam so will be fine!

Like blu said, you can take the motor off I think.

You can't take the motor off and put the manual adjuster on, they aren not the same.
Although you can manually adjust the motor anyway, so same thing.

Those ebay ones are unlikely to be genuine Subaru.

Is there much difference, then, do you think, between crystal and non-crystal lights? I know people who've swapped and been disapointed.

Huge difference with just the standard bulbs fitted imo! I fitted osram nightbreakers to mine and they're amazing!
