Default Wrx Hid?

I have a few questions i hope someone will answer. (1) Why did subaru not put HIDs in the WRX or could have made it an option? And (2) is it possible to swap the STI adjustable height headlamps into a wrx?

(1) Cause they were dumb.

(2) I don't see why not.

The USDM STi lights will swap into the '04-'05 2.0 WRX.

There aren't many <$25k cars that have HIDs as an option so I don't think it's anything unusual for Subaru to do.

I still think that the setup I had on my '02 WRX with the Hella 500s+Kartboy brackets in place of the OEM fog lights wired to the high-beams trigger was a much better setup than the OEM HIDs on my '04 STi. I could see straight over to the next state with those suckers fired up on a backroad. I was disapointed that the '04+ went with the smaller fogs making the mounting of the 500s impossible.
