Welcome to the club.

[Dennyp]

[Jay762]

Wotcha and welcome - looks sharp with the Prodrive spoiler

[Gambit]

Hi mate welcome to S.O.C 

I'm a hawkeye fan but don't own one have a bug and a blobeye in the garage. Think be next one to add :)

And if it's the bulb changes you are on about being the worst ever it's just as bad on the others too :( 

[Dennyp]

Spoiler looks bit strange from back but never really see it from there lol

Lol no !Removed! auto levelling headlights. At mo I can see 10 foot in front of car, I'm looking to find out what wires power the headlight motors so I can disconnect them

[Dennyp]

Very nice mate

There lethal at night

That's why I want to disconnect the motors that level the headlamps

[V6Matty]

i wouldn't go disconnecting the self leveling, its an MOT failure if they do not adjust.

 

I do wonder why they are not very good though, what temperature bulbs are you using in them, 4200k, 5k or higher?

[Jay762]

I thought the MOT and self levelling was only related to HID specific units, does the WRX have HID fitted, thought they were just your normal halogens?

[Dennyp]

Ah right hmmmm wonder if you can retrofit a automatic adjuster as the motors are there

My lights are factory fit hid think there 5000k

i'm probable wrong but i though the wrx was always spect with hid's?

have a look at some 4200k bulbs, they dont look as white but give a much better light at night. simply the hotter the buld the worse the output, as a rule of thumb.

[Jay762]

ahh right - sounds like they are HID's, do you have a trailer compensation switch fitted which would adjust the lights from inside the car?

[Dennyp]

No it works on levelling sensors mate
