Fitting Sti Hid Headlights To My Uk Wrx

[midshipracer]

Hi,

Got a set of Sti headlights,they are the HID models.However my wrx has morretes fitted and they are non HID.Been in the garage tonight and the only thing that links up correctly is the indicator cable all the others are different plugs etc.

Any help/how to's would be appreciated.

cheers.

At a guess you'll be missing the HiD ballast.. Small fag packet sized box with connectors which link up existing bulb wiring to the HID bubs. HiD's are very high voltage and need the ballast in order to work..

Hi,

Were your sit lights origonal HID ones?,I have managed to source 2 oem ballasts for £60 each.If I bought these would it just be plug and play?

Nah my lights were regular JDM ones but I modified the back cover to accept the HID bulb.. Had to cut a larger hole in the back of the cover to accomodate the bulb connectors but no biggy.. Just important to make sure it's properly sealed agein afterwards. Some sort of sealant liek tiger seal (window sealant) should help...

Yeah as long as the ballasts have the correct connectors for the car harness you should be fine!

Probably a good thing I have the hid bulbs in already then.
