H1 Headlights

I want something that'll fit what I have, because I'm not sure how to handle getting custom brackets....sounds like it'll be difficult and more monies. I was looking for some DIY guides on how to install them, but I couldn't find any on the 25rs site or nasioc site. Anyone know if it requires...

H1 Headlights

Thanks for all the replies everyone, I decided to get the Osram bulbs! Any consensus if a fog kit is worth getting? And if so, should I get them through a Subaru dealership? Thanks again, -Nab

H1 Headlights

Thanks for clearing things up. I think I'll stick with the brighter Halogens and call it a day. Would you recommend the Narva +50 over the Osram Night Breakers? Both seem to be around $30 for 2 bulbs. How do I check to see if the aim is correct? Thanks, Nab edit: I just quickly googled...

Ballmode, nice car! Do you have fog lights on that? It doesn't look like it from the picture, but was just wondering because I might eventually get some if they make a difference.

H1 Headlights

That actually did clear a lot of things up for me. I won't be looking at any bulbs that claim to be a higher watt than what is listed. From what you are saying, it also seems like HID might be a good idea if I get the kit from a reputable place that knows what it is doing, because it'll spread...

I just emailed the guys over at theretrofit to see which kit will be compatible and how much it'll cost me.

As a student, I don't have the $$$ to get into trouble with the law. I'd like to stay legal! Thanks for giving me all the options though. :)

H1 Headlights

Oh, thanks for the information. Why is HID retrofit illegal? Is it too bright or all the adjustments and fuzziness issues that come with a retrofit? In the end, I think I'll stick to street legal. If I'm not happy with the brightness I can try something different in the future...

I was looking around and Amazon sells these bulbs for $20 cheaper: http://www.amazon.com/PIAA-Xtreme-White-Plus-Bulb/dp/B001QLCLIQ/ref=sr_1_16?ie=UTF8&qid=1330585863&sr=8-16

I skimmed over the HID articles on that site, and it seems that the HID retrofit kits are too good to be true and most probably aren't street legal....is that accurate? Question, is xenon just a type of halogen bulb?

I never considered getting an HID kit. Looks like from the site it'll run me about $250 for the entire kit. Interestingly enough, their address is right around the corner from me, so I'll give'em a call and/or visit them if I get a chance later in the week. I'll definitely have to do some...

H1 Headlights

If they're going to last the same number of hours as the others previously listed (around 350), then I think these might be a bit too expensive for me right now. This will be the first time changing my headlights in this car, so might be best if I stick with something cheaper. I'll definitely...

H1 Headlights

From what I've been seeing, it seems about the average for these intensity bulbs. Here is a summary from the candlepower website: H1 (regular normal): 1550 lumens, 650 hours Long Life (or "HalogenPlus+") 1460 lumens, 1200 hours Plus-30 High Efficacy (Osram Super, Sylvania Xtravision...

H1 Headlights

Thanks for the information. It seems like I should be looking for clear/untinted bulbs. From the Osram website it says: "The ideal lamp for drivers who want to drive with more light for greater safety. Thanks to a specially-developed high output coil and the blue ring coating, the...

It seems like all the bulbs I have been looking at for H1 are all 55W. Is that a coincidence or should I be keeping a closer eye on that?
