    Seems like many WRX owners are interested in HID set up. Here are some shots of my new HID set up. Retro fit was done by Lightwerkz. I wish that I used JDM10thst, but Lightwerkz had TSX projectors and e46 bezels in stock.

    Plug-n-play HID into regular headlight is also step up from stock halogen setup with expense of more glare to other drivers. However, doing it right with Real OEM HID projectors is whole new world set up. I rode in STi couple times, but its HID system did not even come close to my TSX-ed set up. Big Thumbs up for my headlight!! :bigthumb:

    As some of you guys know, I retro-fitted TSX projectors into my headlights before, but it was little ghetto-ish. So, this time, I wanted to get these done little more professional way. And here they are..!!

    Yeah, quality retrofits are done using the stock reflector housing so that you can utilize the stock adjustments.

    These were done by Caesar (lightwerkz), who's my boy from up north. Ill be offering the same service for the south soon :)

    yup, Alex is right with the adjustment. Unlike my old set up, the projectors are carefully mounted on top of stock reflectors. So the adjustment of beam is very easy.

    i`m so envious of those blobeyes because they actually look natural with the retrofitted projectors... but it`s ok because i got Nitro's kit, and for the money i couldnt ask for more!
