Here is a *street legal* set of add on low beam HID lights:
http://www.suvlights...5a9ce0c2acbcb7bI am thinking of installing them where the front turn signals are. My preliminary check looks like they could fit there. Have to do a little more measuring. Relocate the turn signals into the side / front marker lenses by using yellow bulbs like the Forester.
Reasons:
The existing headlamps have improper lensing for HID - too much light goes into oncoming driver's eyes.
Existing headlamps do not have the nice even wide beam pattern with *sharp* cutoff - the proper lensing.
The above kit is street legal.
The existing high beams aren't too bad, so either use the existing halogens, 2x wattage halogens, or one of the conversion HID kits for the high beams only.
I have seen more than a few cars with the cheap add ons (blue tinted halogens @ 2x wattage or HID "conversions") vs the cars that have the real HID lighting. I find the real ones easier on my eyes when they are oncoming. The real ones have the nice wide beam when driving / riding.
As our existing headlamps age, they are getting worse (the reflectors mostly) I'd like to figure out some combo that would provide an upgrade and get away from the sole source part.
It would be cool if I could find a driving light of similar size - possibly could be mounted together with the low beams in place of the OEM headlights. Wire them so that both are on for high beam.
