Right folks need advice from the technical wizards on the form.

I awoke the other morning to find some low life had decided to smash both my headlights on my imaculate bugeye sti prodrive Type UK.

I priced new headlights at Subaru £425 EACH .

So my only option is to buy a second hand pair from Ebay.

But my question is can i fit the JDM Bugeye HID headlights assuming they come supplied with the ballast packs ? As i have also seen these on Ebay .

Any help would be much appreciated.

Yes you can fit them mate, I have got them on my UK bugeye. You will need the headlights, ballasts and also a new loom to connect them. JonMc off of here makes them and are as good if not better than OEM. Give him a pm and I'm sure he will sort you out

Ive got hold of an original JDM Sti headlight adjuster switch and plugs to wire in the adjusters but it is possible with just spade connectors. The wiring is half there already

Thanks for the replys folks.

Are the HID really worth it ? Any better ? Also any issues come MOT time ?

Mines been on HIDs for years and the difference from the std WRX lights is amazing, no MOT issues for me at three different garages.

The HIDs are miles better as said, I believe the mot changed this year and now if your car is fitted with headlight adjusters and or lens washers they must work hence why I have got the plugs and switch ready.

If you don't have these working I don't know I it would be a fail or just an advisory as haven't been tested since.
