Default New Lights from US would they work??

Hi all, found these lights on ebay (moderators im putting the link up just to show what im talking about, auction has ended and im not advertising anything!).

eBay Motors: 95-01 Subaru Impreza Halo Projector Headlight HID Xenon (item 180129683612 end time Jun-14-07 16:58:35 PDT)

They say they are for years 95-01. I have a 94, would they fit? I've seen other lights for similar years that would fit but with just having to change the grill to a facelift one? im a bit of a noob so excuse my very basic knowledge!

Also a bit wary of buying the lights considering they from the US, would I have any issues with MOT etc?

Thanks in advance.

My concern would be that they are for a left hand drive car and the beam would be pointing in the wrong direction, you'd would end up blinding everyome else on the road.

They won't fit yours unless you change the grill and bonnet, they are for a left hand drive car and they look crap

You can get them on EBAY UK.

Both chrome/silver and black versions....

I've seen them for around £160-£180 a set.

IMO it's a nice idea chavved up wrong. I really think halos should stay on BMWs.

Thanks for the help guys. Do appreciate the pointers.

Just have to say though, i think they look quite good, and would suit my blacked out scoob. dont really care what other people think, its all about people having individual tastes and not needing to follow what everyone else is doing! Scoobs tent to look very similar these days (especially the classics unfortunately) so isnt good that some people want to do something different??

Not having a rant but just want to put my point of view across. Anyway im off everyone have a good weekend.

The 'after' pics on the right hand side has just been photoshopped from the 'before' by the look of it. No difference in intensity or beam distance/spread, just played with colour temperature. That tells me all I need to know about that ad.
