They are not the same. And the problem is more that there will be dark spots and bright spots and the likelyhood of blinding people that are driving towards you is very high.

The ballasts are not in the housings. 55w is the same as the halogens.
The HIDs produce more light, and should produce less heat. I'd be more concerned with glare. |

I saw a website where you can send your oem headlights and they will modify them with several different options. I can't for the life of me remember what it was. We have a 2013 WRX and tried putting Osram Sylvania Silverstar Ultras in. They suck. Distance is better but still not bright enough. Any help on the website to customize would be helpful.

Hey I've been searching for close to two hours for the guide to wiring JDM headlights into a bugeye. I didn't want to create a huge post about it, just need a like to it so I can fix my high beams.
TIA.. I hate being the plunger and bringing up old ****, but I'm worn out with searching.. |

Any opinions on running 35W vs 50 W HIDs? Can a 2014 Impreza handle the higher wattage?

Hey guys. My names Dan and im new to the forum. I just bought my first new car and first subaru. I got the 2015 impreza sport, and just ordered some DDM Tuning 35w HID kit. Wish i had read all these comments before ordering though.
Being that im a total noob, do you guys have any tips/tricks on installing the kit? Any advice would help. Thanks for the time! |

Yes, Dont even install them. You'll have better output by returning them and saving up to buy some HID projectors. DDM is crap from china.

I've been using an HID kit for nearly 7 years in my 2009 Impreza. It has halogen projectors. I have not had any problems with the kit. There are hot spots with the projectors. The light does not go high to the left or shine in other drivers windows. I have never been flashed.
The pattern shown with the H11rc bulbs with the halogen reflectors is similar to my projectors. I don't understand your comment "lose output". A retrofit would be better. The pictures in that thread were less than 10 from a wall. Chinese quality varies from different companies. Quote:

That's quite dull. I would show mine as an example, but I apparently can't just pull photos from my phone to put on NASIOC. I guess that explains why I rarely post here.
The source of light is in and entirely different spot between HIDs and halogens. A lot of research and development goes into making a good set of projectors. Even between different types of halogens, and different types of HIDs, things change. Hence, why they're designed to not be cross compatible |

I'm in agreement that the source of the light is different. This kit
http://deautokey.com/product/h11rc-x...lar-xenon-bulb reduces the length of the HID source light. My dim bulbs produce much more light than the original halogens did. Quote:

I see that, but it's still not in the proper position. Also, HIDs face in a different direction than halogen filaments, and the hot spots of the source are different. Again, Hidplanet.com has a "University" sub-forum that you should look at

If it doesn't put the light into other drivers windows, and it doesn't cause others to flash, I'm willing to use them.

The H11 halogen filament and the kit's HID arc are both longitudinally aligned.
