Hi everyone,

Just looking to see if anyone has experience with this product.

For 2008 2013 Subaru Forester Headlight with Bi Xenon Projector and Angel Eye | eBay

I have a '13 with what I believe are HIDs but this says my foz is not compatible. Anyone have any suggestions? I just want to add a different look to the front end.

Cheers

I believe someone on here has a set of these. Headlights from 09-13 are all the same so I don't see why these won't fit your model. It could be the wiring harness for these headlights...

Wow, those are expensive!

Couldn't you do a retrofit with projectors and add your own LED's for cheaper?

I think EugeneUtopia might have these lights.
Here's his build thread: http://www.subaruforester.org/vbulletin/f115/eugeneutopias-2010-fxt-project-253010/

He bought his from CarID here: CG® 02-AZ-SF09-PBC-RF-A - Subaru Forester 2009-2011 Black CCFL Halo Projector Headlights with LEDs
They are $170 cheaper than the eBay price!

Thanks for all the responses. CarId seems to be the better / financial choice. And thanks for the member journal link. Great source of info for 09-13 foz mods!

As for the retro fit of the lamps, I am such a noob I wouldn't know where to begin.

With those being complete assemblies it's not terribly difficult. Someone is bound to have done a write-up or you can get a service manual to find out how to do it.

I think you have to take off the bumper cover to expose your mounting screws, which seems daunting, but isn't too bad at all. You should be able to handle it with some basic hand tools.

Ooh, I might have steered you wrong a bit. If you want HID projectors then you should go with the eBay ones, it appears that the CarID units are halogen projectors.

I would have no clue how to go about doing that haha. Do most shops have that ability? or is it a specialized job?

and +1 on the expensive note lol

Try The Retrofit Source Inc and OEM HID Projector Retrofit Parts & Service Specialists I Lightwerkz.net

They're two of the biggest online stores and retrofitters but I'm sure you can find a retrofit shop that's closer to your area.

$810 for those ebay projectors is ridiculous. Paid no more than $400 to do mine.

Overpriced for terrible output.

Retrofitting is the way to go :icon_wink:
