FS: 05 WRX lights- Comlplete Bi-X HID Projector Ready-Ballasts/bulbs/etcs!!!

Housings are sold, see new thread for HID parts!

You will get

-2 05 WRX headlights (gunmetal surrounds)
-2 OEM STi ballasts (with H4 wiring harness for plug and play into WRX)
-2 D2S OEM Phillips bulbs
-A ton of spare wires/end caps/abs plastic sheet/screws/sealing end caps/all other bubls for lights

Notes
-The lights are still dissassembled. You can plaint the housings any color you want or add/remove the orange reflectors
-The reflectors on the low-beam side have been cut/modified to fit LARGE 3" Bi-xenon projectors
-The housings have been cut a tad in the rear to make room for the bi-xenon solenoids

I never fully mounted the projectors and sold my STi before I finished the project. I could finish the retrofit, but am not comfortable doing it without a car to install them on to level/align before I reseal them. One reflector was damaged, but I completely fixed it with lots of epoxy and painted over it. Once everything is together its not noticable at all (epoxy on the rear inside face)

Thats the thing, I can mount the projectors, but without a car to put the lights on, its hard to tell if they are properly aligned. I dont want to seal the lights up without the projectors being properly aligned (although you can still use the adjustment screws for up/down and left/right)

Only work that needs to be down is

1). Mount projectors (I can show whoever buys them how I was going to do it)
2) Reseal/assemble light
3) Install

Yeah, since they are already projectors, mounting them is a bit easier, the 04-05 lights are sort of shallow, so projector length makes fitment tight

The output will also blow the JDM hids out of the water

Same lens, different projector ( I took the lenses off a TSX projector and put them on this Koito Landrover one, so basically had to pay for both sets). I believe ggchynaboy used BMW shrounds and painted them black. So they will look slightly different

Here is what the custom shrounds I made look like. These are the actualy projectors as well
