ihscout54 Posted May 10, 2009 Share Posted May 10, 2009 Anyone tried something like these: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/80-81-82-83-84-85-86-87-Subaru-Standard-HEAD-LIGHTS_W0QQitemZ120410333290QQcmdZViewItemQQptZMotors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories?hash=item1c0903e06a&_trksid=p4506.c0.m245&_trkparms=72%3A1171%7C65%3A12%7C39%3A1%7C240%3A1318 http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/80-81-82-83-84-85-86-87-Subaru-Standard-HEAD-LIGHTS_W0QQitemZ120410333290QQcmdZViewItemQQptZMotors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories?hash=item1c0903e06a&_trksid=p4506.c0.m245&_trkparms=72%3A1171%7C65%3A12%7C39%3A1%7C240%3A1318 Considering the wiring remains the same I wonder if there would really be any improvement at all. Plus you never can tell with alot of the ebay crap, sometimes you get what you pay for. But these did look cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edrach Posted May 10, 2009 Share Posted May 10, 2009 Too bad they don't have any lights for the newer cars. Some issues I have to disagree with: I don't think these are the actual xenon bulbs which require significant different power. They look like quartz halogen bulbs with xenon gas as the halogen gas filler. If they are only drawing the current for the lower wattage (normal for quartz halogen), I don't see how they are getting the higher wattage light output. Looks like a bit of a scam to me. They do look cool however; and they are cheap enough to try if you like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ihscout54 Posted May 10, 2009 Author Share Posted May 10, 2009 Agreed they are calling them "HID" but the kit doesnt seem to include any ballasts. But the kit is cheap enough to try to play with but something tells me Ill be going from dull yucky yellow to dull get me a ticket blue.

bratman18 Posted May 11, 2009 Share Posted May 11, 2009 I have a set of the round STD headlights that came with a conversion kit from Monstaru. They seem to work great, they are much brighter than stock that's for sure, and they aren't sealed beam so you can change the actual bulb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monstaru Posted May 11, 2009 Share Posted May 11, 2009 you can buy different wattage bulbs ed.defenitely not hid or =xenon. the ones i sold to bratman were a little different .but , same idea for sure. you can get 100 watt bulbs for that setup.pretty damn bright actually.they work well if'n you are willing to spend the dough on the bulbs.cheers, brian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erik litchy Posted May 11, 2009 Share Posted May 11, 2009 those ebay lights arent very good, the beam pattern is pretty bad. stick with a name brand like hella or cibie, and make sure you get them in E codes, NOT DOT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ihscout54 Posted May 11, 2009 Author Share Posted May 11, 2009 The did say they were euro lights. Those hella's are a big step up in price. I really dont need them I was just curious. The other thing is is there are about 30+ different sellers on ebay peddling these kits. Whats the difference between them, other than price, I wonder... http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/7-H6024-6014-H4-LHT-EURO-CONVERSION-HEADLIGHTS-KIT_W0QQitemZ270321331385QQcmdZViewItemQQptZMotors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories?hash=item3ef0682cb9&_trksid=p3911.c0.m14&_trkparms=72%3A1205%7C66%3A2%7C65%3A12%7C39%3A1%7C240%3A1318 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4x4_Welder Posted May 11, 2009 Share Posted May 11, 2009 Whats the difference between them, other than price, I wonder... Which factory in China ripped off the design:confused: One thing to keep in mind is that if you do the H4 conversion you will burn out the switch and wiring if you don't also do the relay conversion. These bulbs draw a ton more power. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ihscout54 Posted May 12, 2009 Author Share Posted May 12, 2009 They claim to be 60/55watt, that should be in range of stock. Weather or not the stock wiring can handle it, it probably would, but I doubt they'll be much brighter without a rewiring. I bet the stock lamps would be a step or 2 brighter with better wiring. I was looking for simple plug n play cheapo fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
