I say #3.
JoelR 05-24-2001 12:35 AM

#2, the Morette has a killer, sinister look to it!!
galevelasco 05-24-2001 12:42 AM

I would go with the third or fourth. I'm sticking to prodrive parts only. I don't want that section between the grill and light changed out.
H5N1 05-24-2001 12:48 AM

Definitely the Morrette!!
Bring back the aggressiveness the Impreza used to have[img]http://www.i-club.com/ubb-files/smilies/wink.gif[/img]
Digital_Boy 05-24-2001 02:50 AM

I'd go with the Morrettes or the Prodrive WRC style lights.

I think the Morrettes would have an edge in styling when painted body color too.
b_tapper 05-24-2001 03:11 AM

They all look good but...
I'd go with #3
Turboy 05-24-2001 04:33 AM

I like #3 but I need turn signals. Make it #4.
gtguy 05-24-2001 04:35 AM

Call me weird, but no. 1 looks best. The others are just too busy looking. Perhaps a single lens over the entire assembly would help, like the Legacy JDM headlight setups.

The bug-eyes look more unified and flow better, especially with the silver car.

Those Morettes just look silly! Thw WRC look comes second.

#2 THEY NEED TO BE PAINTED TO MATCH THE BODY!
Dori Dori 05-24-2001 05:06 AM

I like the originals (#1) and the WRC (#3). Where can you but the WRC's? How much $? Thanks!
ScoobyDriver 05-24-2001 05:37 AM

#2 Morrette body matched ...hell they even make the car good looking [img]http://www.i-club.com/ubb-files/smilies/tongue.gif[/img]
STiShawn 05-24-2001 06:31 AM

The Morrettes body colored...those make it look completely eeeeevil.[img]http://www.i-club.com/ubb-files/smilies/lildevil.gif[/img]
grandmasterchan 05-24-2001 06:35 AM

Number 3 looks just right.
Looks alot cleaner. Not as busy looking. There's just too many lights in the other ones.

Plus it's WRC baby! And it's functional if you get the ones with the intakes.

"Cleanliness is forever!"
Yotsuya 05-24-2001 06:52 AM

The Morettes at least try to break up the lines; 3 and 4 look like they are lost in a black hole, and I don't think any of them would look very goood, even when painted. Face it, big round openings for headlights demand big round headlights, and anything else in that big round space is going to look odd.

That said I plan to install some Morettes on my 2000 this weekend...
RallyBlue2002 05-24-2001 06:59 AM

#2, Painted to match body color.
Dori Dori 05-24-2001 07:13 AM

Anybody know where I could get the WRC's? How much $? [img]http://www.i-club.com/ubb-files/smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img]
Draven 05-24-2001 07:17 AM

2 or 3....
RidinLow 05-24-2001 07:59 AM

1: Cute
4: Bug eyed monster
2: Dorky Bug eyed monster

3: My favorite... looks just like the WRC car. [img]http://www.i-club.com/ubb-files/smilies/smile.gif[/img]
AliasAngel 05-24-2001 08:11 AM

Morrettes brings back the mean styling~ Which the new Impreza need. The car is just too friendly/cute looking and Morrettes has the "touch me and you die" look... haha (Like the ED-209 from robo cop~) hahaha [img]http://www.i-club.com/ubb-files/smilies/tongue.gif[/img]

number 4 make it looks like a droid in Star War" .... hack.. they all look like something coming out of Star Wars. (except for 1)

morrettes are ooglie imho
ttoversteer 05-24-2001 08:29 AM

#1
#4

Unless the scoops in #3 are functional, don't get em. Stock looks pretty good, and #4 looks aggressive (Imagine a gatling gun or rocket launcher!)
AliasAngel 05-24-2001 09:30 AM

Boy, I almost finish creating a set of band new headlight for the WRX in Photoshop... and suddenly the !@#$ thing crash on me!! [img]http://www.i-club.com/ubb-files/smilies/mad.gif[/img] Also, this is the second time I have to type this post because it crashes again on me. I don't think I will recreate that image again because it took me two hours to generate it. I think you guys would have like the new redesign headlight. And yes, it is a photo realistic image~ Egrrr... can't believe this PC is this unstable!~[img]http://www.i-club.com/ubb-files/smilies/mad.gif[/img]
natoli3 05-24-2001 09:34 AM

my vote is #2 the morrette, but I will say that I think that the Japan style STI lights with the HIDs take the cake.
mvstype 05-24-2001 09:40 AM

#3 WRC

MattJP 05-24-2001 09:51 AM

I'd keep it stock
eastbaysubaru 05-24-2001 09:57 AM

Definitely the WRC look. Those are the only ones that look decent. The others just look out of place. I don't like the Morettes(sp?) at all, they look like there's too much going on. I really like the JDM ones, but AFAIK they're not available...yet.

ImprezedRS 05-24-2001 10:08 AM

#2 or 3 i think can't decide
klind 05-24-2001 10:10 AM

Looks like you can get the Morrette headlight conversion from [url="http://www.grahamgoode.com/subaru/products/newage.htm"]Graham Goode[/url] in the UK.

Part #GG1024. Here's a pic:

I vote for #4, with #2 as the runner up.

#1 --looks like Herbie the Love Bug

#2 -- looks like an evil doctor from a scifi movie

#3 -- looks like a stoned evil doctor

#4 -- looks like an evil doctor after five double espressos
Herbie 05-24-2001 11:02 AM

I'm saving up for body-color painted Morettes. Always wanted 'em on my RS, now I can get 'em for the WRX and lose the constant-surprise look.

Edit: Just a note for those who like the WRC style lights: Notice there are no turn signals. Could be a minor issue...

Wheres the J-spec STi lights??? as on: [url="http://www.subaru-sti.co.jp/parts/new_impreza/cat1.html"]http://www.subaru-sti.co.jp/parts/new_impreza/cat1.html[/url]


If you cannot read Japanese, click the 4th
red link down to get a popup with a nice
view of them.

I love the WRC's but they aren't very
useful on-road without bodykit work.

The Sti's have me... Can't wait until
someone starts bringing them over ^_^

please pm the price for the #2's. I like them alot and with the edition of the intake scoops they're killer.
garface 05-24-2001 01:55 PM

CAn someone photoshop the WRC style painted to match? Where are the turn signals?
garface 05-24-2001 01:58 PM

Still looks a lil funky. <IMG SRC="http://www.cook.vhost.uk.net/images/rally%20day/scoobys3.jpg" border=0>
Hashiriya 05-24-2001 02:02 PM

I'd go with WRC #3 or JDM/STi (#5 [img]http://www.i-club.com/ubb-files/smilies/smile.gif[/img])

RimRockaz 05-24-2001 06:10 PM

i think the WRC headlight is the best looking.

skibaru 05-24-2001 06:28 PM

Nice Photoshop.

#5 - JDM HIDs
PunksWRX 05-24-2001 06:35 PM

#1 - it looks clean!
schuey555 05-24-2001 06:56 PM

2 or 3 painted.
Wreqs 05-24-2001 07:09 PM

#2, morrette, in black, on blue
I've wanted them since I saw them.
I hate the stock lights, but hey, when your driving, All I see is the top of the scoop and the top of the wing.
Where can I get them?

Anything but stock, please.
This was planned wasn't it.
Mr. Ixnay 05-24-2001 08:29 PM

I would have to say #2, the Morrettes...
Dave99 05-24-2001 08:36 PM

Dudes,

get used to it! The bug-eye, while not as familiar as the traditional rectangular look, is going to become more and more of a mainstay styling element!

Check out the new Infinities, Lexus, and Mercedes - they're all embracing that big bug-eye look. And most of those look good!

Personally, I think Subaru has all of the right styling elements it needs to make an attractive car - e.g. big hood scoop, sharp fender blisters, large headlamps, aggressive air intakes . . .

Except they screwed up the proportions!

The stock WRX looks like a happly little kid because it's got these huge eyes and a small chin / narrow face. As with people, broaden and lengthen that chin proportionately and you'll see a more rugged tougher face that fits those large headlamps. It takes on an '80s style BMW look, which is fine by me!

Check it out! There's an even better shot at this site: [url="http://www.b-specusa.com/2002cwest.html"]http://www.b-specusa.com/2002cwest.html[/url] [edit] here's the picture linked into the message!

bayWRX 05-24-2001 09:26 PM

all of those non stock lights suck and look tacky as hell except for the JDM/STI lights, those are by far the best.
MichiganRS 05-24-2001 10:55 PM

Those projector jobs just arnt clean

neither is this way but I like it:

If I did the evil picachu the trim pieces would need to be molded on the hood than it would just about be perfecto
Kostamojen 05-25-2001 12:19 AM

#2, but I'd spend money on evertyhing else BEFORE that [img]http://www.i-club.com/ubb-files/smilies/tongue.gif[/img]
Damon 05-25-2001 12:55 AM

my vote for #2.. i like the mean look.
Idjiit 05-25-2001 12:58 AM

None of the above. I want the JDM/STI lights.
Bob O 05-25-2001 05:25 AM

Anything but the stock lights. I do, however, agree with Dave99 concerning the proportions thing(and that's all I agree with [img]http://www.i-club.com/ubb-files/smilies/smile.gif[/img]). Shame you can't fit the Liberal front end to the WRX, I'm assuming it would take some work as the wagon has no fender flares). IMHO I think they have managed to make the gooney light look nice and agressive, though of course those are the STi HID's I belive.

Bob
