BE CAREFUL!! Our primitive wiring harness will not support most aftermarket bulbs!! The heat created from the aftermarket bulbs will melt your wiring harness, which will result in $$$ to fix. Ask your dealer which bulbs will work. It's also possible and highly reccomended to upgrade your wiring harness to support the new bulbs.

if its 55W/60W bulbs like PIAAs, it should be fine.
if its 100W or 130W rally light bulbs, then it might melt.

Yeah these are a direct replacement (in wattage) ..

I am not the type to "not" replace wiring.. If i were to go higher wattage i would have installed a relay for each --- high/low..

I come froma VW background.. I know all about crappy wiring..

Suggestion:

9005 to HIR retorfit Hi beam:

http://www.scoobymods.com/forums/sho...&threadid=3122

These have been working out well for me. Lots of light, no blue tint that will only rob output (and look like poser HID's)

+50 Low Beam:

http://www.scoobymods.com/forums/sho...&threadid=1246

Again no blue tinting.

Specifics on the +50's here:

These are in my OB but the same bulbs are in the 04 Impreza I guess.
