2005 Impreza- Projector headlights?


Recommended Posts

I'm considering replacing the stock headlamp assemblies in my 2005 Impreza Outback Sport with projectors for better lighting. I was looking at the following:

I'm assuming these come with LED light bars for daytime running lights but come with H1/ H3 Halogen bulbs for low beam and high beam. Has anyone used either of these aftermarket lights, and do these projectors improve low and high beam lighting?

Also, would these headlamp assemblies be compatible with converting to  LED low and high beam bulbs? I'm assuming since they are projectors, they wouldn't have the same issues with light vcattering and blinding oncoming traffic like installing LED's in stock headlamp housings may do.

Just buy from whoever has them cheapest on ebay/aliexpress/etc - it's the same plastic Chinese $hit being sold by everyone. Clear coat them with some automotive two-part epoxy clear coat - https://www.amazon.com/SprayMax-Glamour-Gloss-Aerosol-Clear/dp/B0082LJMC6

This will help seal them against leaking. All the aftermarket housings leak after a short time. Apply multiple coats and let it seep into all the seams, etc.
