HID Light Upgrade 2005 Forester XT

My wife has pretty poor night vision, and the low beam imparticular on our Forester is not giving her enough light to see. Am thinking of an HID upgrade. Anyone have any advice as to which kit, which bulb etc?

Thanks in advance.

Boxer Diesel...WHen Avail on the Import Scene

So....just wondering, when will diesel half cuts be available. Im pretty sure its a Europe only product at the moment, and is not available in Japan, yet....but has anyone put more effort into it than me plucking my navel with a beer, in terms of when we might see them?

How do you learn unless you make mistakes....:) I grew up racing go karts, simple 100cc two stroke engines. I could strip hone, polish, port, rebuild an engine and carburettor in a couple of hours by the time I was 12. When I was 14 I decided I would do my dad a favour and fix the blown head gasket ...

possibly, but i was just thinking, that instead of buying a 2nd hand hilux bar, if I had the bar holders like you have pictured, I could just get an exhaust place to bend a tube for me...should be really cheap.
