dlc Posted March 17, 2006 Share Posted March 17, 2006 I picked up a set of these dirt cheap today and will be installing them in my 00 Outback. If not this brand, has anyone tried another HID conversion on their "newer" Subaru? Here they are: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=8046088864&ru=http%3A%2F%2Fmotors.search.ebay.com%3A80%2F%3Ffrom%3DR40%26satitle%3D8046088864%26fvi%3D1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legacy777 Posted March 19, 2006 Share Posted March 19, 2006 They will alter the beam pattern to where they will blind on-coming vehicles. The filament placement (hot spot on HID, since they don't have a filament) is not the same between HID's & halogen bulbs. This completely changes the optics of the headlight.

nipper Posted March 19, 2006 Share Posted March 19, 2006 i agree. The reflector is designed for a bulb, and you may actually get less usable light, though they may be brighter, since they are not properly focused. nipper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subie Gal Posted March 19, 2006 Share Posted March 19, 2006 not to mention they are not DOT legal and you can be cited for using them Jamie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
