Hello peeps.
I have been looking into improving the lights on my preface lift classic. I was wondering if anybody has fitted any spot/driving lights to there classics if so can you post a pic please. Not looking for twinhead light conversions as I dont like them.

 

Got Hella 1000FF hid's on mine. Can't post pics at the moment as the site is ****.

 

Have Hella 90mm HID spots on mine. Fitment and covers are as per the P1 lights so you know what they look like. Very effective - although I guess you know that with any spots you're only going to get the advantage on main beam. The one downside of them is that the drop from main to dip is very pronounced.

 

Are these in place of the standard foglights?

 

Yes, 1000FFs are a little larger in diameter than the fogs but fit fine. PIAA do the 80XT kit with an Impreza-specific mounting bracket too.

 

I have the 80XT's. They are good, cheaper than the Hella's. My only prob is they are encased in metal, which corrodes, and is very visible inside the lens.

 

If you don't wan to start fitting additional lights Put PIAA H4 bulbs in your headlights - the ones that draw 60w and give out 110w on main beam - best to upgrade the side light bulbs at the same time.

I also fitted PIAA 80XT driving lights as well with 120w bulbs

sorry no pics though

but probably one of the best mods you can do apart from fitting AP 6 pots

ps - do a search for PIAA 80XT as there are a few pics in threads of these lights

Unless you fit projector HID's for your dipped beam then that eliminates any day/night scenario

ps. I'm running HID Hella 1000FF's too like Mr Alcazar.

Kit available from your local dealer, then add a H1 HID kit for instant daylight !

I have the PIAA driving lights fitted with uprated 130watt bulbs, have to say they are very good on full beam, although as said above they do tend to let in water and corrode very easily. I got them from Scoobyworld:

Lighting - Impreza 1993-2000 : Subaru Impreza PIAA Driving Lamps

Only problem i find is that when you flick back to dipped beam its like having to half lit candles, fecking terrible lol....Highly recommend the PIAA's for full beam though!!

Hoping to get some HID's with a retrofit projector soon though if the fella on who here who has been talking about it starts producing them

Was in a mates EVO 8 at the weekend and the HID's are just so good you feel you have to have them

Dipped



Full Beam

 

Tidy job. Have that on my long-list of jobs to do when time permits!

 

Me too. Unfortunately I don't have the car at the moment, but I DO have some crystal lights and I'm waiting on some projectors etc.

 

Has the setup you have there got HID's in dipped and main beam in the one projector, a bi-xenon i think its called, a single projector that does both??

Looks darn good

 

Yes, it is. It has a shield that moves in front of the main beam to give the correct cutoff.

And yes, they ARE good.
And his car is outstanding: you could eat tea off the engine bay

You can get P1 Hella 90mm's to fit a pre-facelift too

Till HID kits became cheap the performance of auxiliary lights was defined by the size and shape of the reflector....

Those look cool, but if you really want to see far enough ahead you need proper lights

RB5Boyo, yes as alcazar has said they are Bi-Xenon, so one bulb that stays stationary with a metal plate that flicks down on a solenoid on full beam. Its also true that I wipe my engine over with anti-bacterial wipes before I serve up the food

The Hella HID spots are wired up to simply come on, on full beam.

These are the little beauty's......

I resemble that remark.

I have this problem. Anyone know of a re-furb or fix option?

 

New reflectors? (Demon Tweeks etc).
Have the old reflectors resilvered? (Google: Genius of the Lamp)
Replace the PIAA's with Hella 1000FF, then go HID like Dunx and Stevo210?

TBH: the last is probably your best bet, AFAIK, the fittings will be the same for both PIAAs and Hellas.

 

E-mail sent to the Genius

 

Don't expect a quick response.

 

Sorry mate, they were only simple cos I stood and watched while you stressed at the crazy bundle of nonensical wires.

I appreciate your help and having them isolated on an interior switch is a stroke of wiring genius

Thanks mate.

 

'Twasn't meant to be an advert....

Wires plaited by "royal appointment".

You fancy lunch at Tan Hill Pub on 03/01/10 ?

They perform better than my old Hella 1000's did ...although this could be that the 1000's were old & had corroded, or that the 90mm's can be 'easily' pointed to where i need them ...or a combination of both

H1 HID's will be going in over Crimbo

 

Where to get the Hellas?

I fitted PIAA to my old UK turbo - Wasn't it you who helped me wire them Alcazar?

Was a PITA but managed it in the end.

Hi mate, no can do I'm afraid, we've already got plans Thanks for the invite though, it would be a cracking drive up there!

 

Picked my Hellas up from Susquehanna MotorSports - High Performance Vehicle Lighting and Competition Accessories It looks like they have discontinued the 'kits' but you can buy individual lamps and get the wiring separately.
