Default Which headlight bulbs are in newage ?

i have a my04 wrx, wanting to change the bulbs for brighter ones, that also give the xenon white / blue effect if possible.

dont really want the hassle of getting and fitting HID's, just wanted some replacement bulbs, main beam, dipped beam and sidelights

but which are in mine, theres loads of different ones and I haven't a clue ?

cheers

your best bet is to remove your current bulbs and go into Halfrauds and ask them to sort you out a set!

All listed in your handbook.
H1, HB3 and not sure from memory about your sidelights but you need to take the headlights out to change them. I gave up with the hassle of changing the bulbs everytime one blew and put HID's in. Best thing I ever did, no more hassle trying to change bulbs and now got decent lights.

Go HID as they use less electricity and thus save you fuel....

Or they just look much cooler, 6000 K for dip and 4300 K for main is my advice.

Honest !

yeah but how much are HID's going to cost me, i don't really drive in the dark to warrant spending loads on them i don't think.

i only wanted some bulbs because they are relatively cheap

cheers

Easy mate, hardest part is taking out your headlights so you can get to the back of your existing bulbs and then being brave enough to drill a hole in the back of the cover so the HID light fits in. Took me about 30 mins in total and if your going to do it change the sidelight bulbs as well .

Our SuperHIDs are plug and play on your model. Very easy to fit.

i got hid's as standard on 2007 wrx and although they are nice and white, they don't illuminate far enough even though they have a self a adjuster thingy, good idea, but not good for driving fast on dark roads. i prefer the lights on my work van.
