I fitted these to my 03 STi some while ago and they are much better than standard although I really do need to get the beam alignment checked as I fitted Prodrive springs and have lost a little range as the front is lower!
No problems with fitting but if you get the free Blue Vision sidelight bulbs with them, you have to remove the light unit to fit these (worth doing as they are much whiter) This is not too difficult but the instructions in the car handbook (03 version anyway) fail to mention one of the bolts that need to be removed, so be warned!

Got the same bulbs in my 03 STi. Much 'whiter' than the original lights. Got the free Blue Vision sidelight bulbs too, these look so much better than the almost yellow original bulbs!

With the headlights out for the sidelight bulbs, I took the opportunity to have a de-tango too!

Is it easy to remove the orange diffuser?

Its not too bad if you know what you are doing...I don't Thats why I got someone else to do it for me!

It took a couple of hours from start to finish.

I used AQS Motorsport Speak to Charlie. He has done a few of these now and did a great job.
