Subaru Forester STi HID xenon projector and driving lane conversion installation headlight upgrade

Subaru Forester STi projector retrofit and driving lane conversion from LHT: left-hand traffic (RHD) to RHT: right-hand traffic (LHD).
To order: retrofitlab.co...
This time we retrofitted and designed a kit for quite a cool and exclusive car, the Subaru Forester STi.
Because this car was imported from Japan and the light pattern was based on driving on the left (LHT/RHD) it was not suitable to drive in Europe/The Netherlands. With this kit the OEM D2R reflector setup in LHT was converted to a bi-xenon RHT projector setup. We used the Aharon Optimus TR mini for the best fitment and light output. With this projector, the original HID xenon ballast can be re-used.
With minimal effort, the light output is improved for both low and high beam and the headlights have the correct pattern drive on the right side of the road.
These products are not ECE-approved and must not be used on public roads in any exterior application. Use on public roads will invalidate both the operating license and insurance coverage.

Park lights should be removed before taking off the lens or you will break the plug the bulb plugs into.

Hi there, Thank you for your feedback. We will look in to that!

[@Bootsthompson]

Is it just the conversion kit or does it come with the actual headlights themselves, along with the retro fit items

[@Retrofitlab]

The headlights themselves and the retrofit kit for that price would be a very good deal...since the headlights alone seem to go for more than $400 used...so sorry, only the retrofit parts.

At 12:30. Heat to 300C Celsius ? This must be mistake. 300 degrees Celsius will melt down whole thing. 300Fahrenheit(148Celsius) could be the absolute limit. At 451 degrees Fahrenheit (233 degrees Celsius) the packing cardboard box will be in flames.

Good question, and when not careful the box/headlight can catch fire, so always stay close and keep an eye on it. But it's only the temperature setting on the heat gun, because of the size of the box, the bad insulation of cardboard, and the opening at the top (it is not sealed shut), the temp in the box won't get anything near the 300 in around 14 minutes. The headlight is placed on the opposite end of the box with the front facing the other way to prevent direct heat and damage to the front lens.

Which projector is that??

[@Retrofitlab]

Aharon optimus TR Mini, perfect because of the size and because it can hold D2 bulbs retrofitlab.com/products/aharon-optimus-tr-mini-bi-xenon-projectors?_pos=1&_sid=3d4a4ed9b&_ss=r
