Arrow Why are 0'4 wrx's HID's cheaper than 03's and 02's??

Just went to a website and they are selling the full blown 04' HID's with the headlight assembly for $765... I am just wondering why are the 03's $2000? I'm not understanding the difference. I love the bug eye'd look of my rex, but wouldn't you think that price would be somewhat close...

Just wondering if anyone knows.

Thanks,
-Nigel

Because the 04's are regular reflector type lights, even the JDM and HID versions. The 02-03's are projectors in the JDM/EDM versions and that is why they are more $$.

can u provide the website where u can get the hid conversion for the wrx. if i ever got a wrx, it wouldn't be bad to put hid's in them. i know the sti has them stock. do you think you can get that price cheaper somewhere else. does usually buying the kit mean that they are no cheap product and that they will last a while?

Is reflector better or is projector better? I have only heard of projector beams... and to me that sounds like it's very focused... like if you take a Mag Flashlight and swist the top to where the beam is narrow but very bright... is this a correct anaolgy?

Here is the link, I am NOT affliated with them at all... When I saw the price I just was like uhhh.. why are my car's HID going to be soooo pricey...lol compared to the 04's.

I believe it's this link:
http://subarupower.com/

Not sure now because their site seems to be down... I have about 45+ bookmarked sites that carry rex parts, because I try to find the lowest price around...heheheh :-p
