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 :(

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

Very nice mate

There lethal at night

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

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?

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?

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.

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?
