Nonvteclegacy Posted January 20, 2006 Share Posted January 20, 2006 Does anybody have the HID kit from the factory? If so does you car come with Day time running lamps? I was thinking about getting some HIDs. If I buy an after market HID kit do you think I would need to uninstall my DTRL? DTRL only use 40percent of wattage until you turn your headlight switch on. I was thinking since HIDs have to charge up at 40 percent of the power might make the HID bulbs go out. What do you guys think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chuckzul Posted January 20, 2006 Share Posted January 20, 2006 I've been running HIDs for quite some time. Disabled the drls when I installed them, never had any trouble and love the difference HIDs make. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xenonk Posted January 20, 2006 Share Posted January 20, 2006 he's talking about the JDM OEM HID setup.. if you look in the engine bay fuse box, there are two relay plugs for the HIDs.. Personally I stopped half way in researching about the wiring setup differences.. I didnt get far enough to get a hold of the contacts that I needed to even source the JDM HID part numbers and what was involved of installing them into the USDM cars. If you plan on going aftermarket, just disable the DRLs, it's a 5 min job to do that.

dark_rex Posted January 20, 2006 Share Posted January 20, 2006 does anyone know a place to source the whole HID headlamp unit (JDM) I'd love to just plug n play a whole new assembly, otherwise i'll just have to clear mine and live with projectors. dR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really happy with the result. Yes, you do need to disable the DRL's as to not wear out the bulbs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nonvteclegacy Posted January 20, 2006 Author Share Posted January 20, 2006 Will installing the after market HID kit void anything on the warranty? I still got 9000 more bumper to bumper warranty. Off the subject I'm missing one of the mud flaps on the back. Will they give me a new one under warranty? Does anybody know where I can get OEM parts for cheaper then the Subaru store? Acessorys and stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whoa, whoa, whoa there buckaroo, that's a whole lot of questions in one post:icon_bigg SOA is pretty rough, if they can trace a system failure back to a particular modification, they will not warranty the part. That being said, example - turbo back exhaust installed on the car and the power window switch breaks. The two systems are not related, so it should be warrantied. Next - turbo back installed and the turbo implodes, no warranty coverage. Oh and the mudflap, kiss the service managers butt and he may cut you a break, but probably not covered. - "I've worked with better, but not many."
