UK STI blobeye headlights -----> JDM Xenon headlights

Featured Replies

Hi all,

 

I am thinking about to get this conversion done as I am not really satisfied with the factory provided high quality candle lights :D

 

What do I need for this apart from the following?:

 

JDM Xenon headlamps.

 

I guess this exercise is not a plug and play one. Will the leveling work after this?

 

Are there any proper other solution? Normal HID no thanx except it is built in a headlights body.


No idea mate but impreza lights are always terrible

What about one those kits ?? I forget the name

I don't know either I have been looking at changing my to a hawkeye and have seen kit's you can buy that plug and play for the lights, so might be worth looking at that. Maybe same thing matts on about :)

This can be considered as well. It is called retrofit and this could be a solution between the full headlights change and basic HID conversion kit.

It needs a little work but I am not afraid to getting my hands dirty if the outcome will be perfect ;)

Yepp the old BUG ----> Hawkeye conversion. Good luck with that! If you can get a Xenon headlights go for them!


Yeah seen a few for sale just the wiring I'm unsure about until I see them, but if I can get the kit that will do me nicely if it's too complicated :D

I've got JDM HIDs in my UK car, but the seller of the lights also sold the custom loom for it... I'm no sparky but if we're ever in the same area for a show/meet/trackday/whatever you're welcome to take a look and reverse engineer :P

Hi all,

 

I hesitated a lot and I am going to do the retrofit Xenon conversion.

 

I ordered the kit and I also bought a heating gun as I am a bit afraid of putting the headlights in the owen.

 

I keep you posted and I`ll document the project with photos.

 

Wish me luck guys :D

Good luck mate looking forward to seeing how you get on. Hopefully look spot on. And I like how you have added the extra pressure of getting it right now by telling us [emoji6] [emoji106]
