I switched back to my oem hid bulbs from the 5k morimoto bulbs. I'm sure the color temp has to do with it a little bit but the oem bulbs are WAYYYYYY better. I can see everything now!

OEM are really nice lights, agreed.

To the guys running 255 tires, what are your rim specs?

If I keep the tsx, I want to run big rubber.

You replaced OEM HIDs? They're so beautiful tho! Glad you switched them back lol difference must've been day and night.

I'm planning on running 255s in the rear on a 10" wheel. Of course people are gonna say it's stupid becuz FWD but this is purely for aesthetics for me. BTW, benben01 ran 275s in the rear!

If you're all about function (minimize unsprung weight while the maximizing contact patch), put the 255s on the narrowest possible wheel you can get (probably 8" wide like justin said).

If you want the 5k color with oem quality get the Osram CBI bulbs. They're on my list of mods for after I graduate and get a yob.

I wanted 5k hid to match the 5k led turn signals. Now that I have the triton v3 signals they are less blue so they no longer matched my hids so I went back. I feel sorry for the people with the 6k off-brand china bulbs.

The off brand bulbs suck hard, I did morimoto h11 projector retrofit on my truck, should have done the D2S projectors and gotten the CBIs. Would have been much brighter than what it is now.

I would but they're just so expensive for just a slight color change.

Anyone want to buy my OEM 4300k bulbs? Very little hours on them (about 6 months worth of driving)

I know right.. Well at least I'm not sure what else can go wrong.. Accident? Check. Dead Battery leaving you stranded in a shady area you've never been to? Check.

At this point I think we can assume that my car heard me talking about replacing it with a FRS release 1.0 and is now trying to commit suicide.

Dealers are stocking WRX for 26-30k around here. STi 35-42K


I wouldn't touch a 2015 STi, especially with the old motor and ringland issue.


I love the current WRX. If the STi gets the new motor, I can see getting rid of my wagon for one.

I am waiting for the legacy or STI to get the new forester/wrx motor.

My wife has the FXT, it's pretty sweet.
