Poor Lights / Exhaust
I'm driving a STI 02 Prodrive style, I want more light for night driving, need suggestions really will changing the bulbs help or is there a driving light kit that can be fitted that somehow fits behind the lamp covers?
Also can anyone recommend a good full exhaust system?
P.s. I have had the carrot jokes from my mates and oh try opening your eyes!
Cheers

I have the Hella 1000ff Prodrive conversion on my classic with 130w bulbs, and I know they also fit the 02 bug eye WRX.
Not sure how the covers work on your STI and how easily they are removed (or if you even want to).
But the lights themselves are superb. My impression of the original full beam on the Impreza was that the light did seem to go slightly further, but wasn't any brighter. The Prodrive ones just light up everything, and I honestly dont think you will need better.
My only reservation on them is that they are a bit fiddly to set up accurately, but its a small price to pay as you only do it once. Just changing the standard headlight bulbs is supposed to be a bit of a no no, as the wiring is a bit fragile and can't take the heat.
Hope that helps a bit.

There is a Prodrive gas discharge driving light kit with replacement covers that looks fabulous & turns night into day but will cost you an arm and a leg 
About £800 IIRC
