Depends. Do you wanna pose? (leave it if you do), or do you wanna see where you are going, at speed, in the dark? If so, change theose cr@ppy Impreza lights.....NOW:


Alcazar

In fact, go out and do it tonight, don't wait, do it now, you know you want to, it's the best idea, it's worth doing, it's the right way, you know it is, get on with it etc etc etc :

The Type R has the crystal lights which are as good for light output Imo..
I would just be for Styling. G/f likes the Morette's I like it as is...

If you don't think they'll be any better than your crystals don't bother Mark. I think you will notice a marked difference however, certainly worth it if you do enough driving to get the good of them.

I wasn't sure about mine to begin with but now i don't mind sacrificing some minor aesthetics for the vast improvement over my frosty late-spec MY98 lights. There just isn't a substitute for extra lamps - apart from HID. Now to get my PIAA's working again...

Morettes are the same be it for pre-facelift or facelift. It's why they look a little strange (leave gaps) on pre-facelifts.

Alcazar sums it up nicely. Standard headlights are dreadful. The other alternative would be to uprate the bulbs and then fit some decent driving lamps. That way you keep your looks and can drive the car at night!

Kinghorn are generally known as the best round our way but would be a little more than overkill for a pair of morette surrounds lol. I got a friend of my fathers who does a bit of spraying on the side to do mine.

If you PM Rob Doyle (RobD on here) he had the front end of his MY02 STi resprayed by a chap in Aberdeen who made very good job of it.
