Your absolutely correct, I think HIDs are actually illegal unless they are factory or installed in projector housings. But yeah, Hids perform way better in a projector housing because it controls the light better. But in this case, just throwing hids in the factory housing is a world of difference haha. My headlights SUCKED before.

problem with just tossing them in there is there Not actually as bright as they could be at all. alot of the hids beam is scattered far past any usable angle. hence the blinding people. you may think its funny. but its really just a huge waiste of money! invest in the correst lamp assembly and you will be amazed at the difference of the same HID bulb in the correct setup!

pizza is correct. while i loved my HIDs in my LT1 the beam pattern is nothing like how my retrofits in my WRX. Sure it put out more light than the stock headlights would but that doesnt take much. BLS make quality kits and i kinda wish that i hadnt sold the kit i had for the WS6.

you have retrofitted lights in the wrx?? nice. I retrofitted my saturn winter beater lights, and my step dads f250. I'd do a 4th gen if I had one :3 LT1 is more challenging...
