I passed MOT on Wednesday with them, got them on the Van and Jo's Focus too... all passed MOT.

Life ... nothing lasts for ever and can't guarantee anything when it comes to any bulb.

Setting the alarm level engine speed
1/ Push the trip **** to select “REV” on the combination meter
2/ When the trip **** is pushed for more than 2 seconds the thousands place flashes.
3/ Release your finger from the trip **** once, then push and hold the trip **** again. The number will change sequentially from 2 to 7. Release your finger at the desired alarm level engine speed.
4/ When the trip **** is pushed, the hundreds place flashes.
5/ Release your finger from the trip **** once, then push and hold the trip **** again. The number will change sequentially from 1 to 9. Release your finger at the desired alarm level engine speed.
6/ When the trip **** is pushed, the buzzer sounds and the REV alarm system will automatically enter its new setting mode (step 7 below), in which you can activate or deactivate the buzzer.
7/ Every time the trip **** is pushed and held, the buzzer changes to activate or deactivate.
b – On: Activated
b – oFF: Deactivated
When the mode is changed to “activate”, the buzzer sounds.
8/ Push the trip **** to complete the setting procedure.
This all has to be done with the ignition On and the car stationary.

All this information can be found in the Owners Manual, Chapter 3-13 in my manual for 09 hatch sti may be different in other manuals.

Can someone do me a quick favour please?

I need the measurement from an 09 sun visor. From the outside edge of the L shaped bracket to the outside edge of the clip seat.

My drivers side has broken and I and I need the size to make sure some spares will fit. I know an 08 legacy ones will, but these are from an 07 impreza. If they dont fit, I'll be pulling them apart to repair mine.


Ps: I can't cos mines in the garage under assesment, to determine just how sick it is.

In the clear lense at the front there are two small notches, just a gently pry in there will release the lense to gain access to the bulbs

GUYS.. all you who ordered #plate +side light bulbs, they have been tested and packed this evening, will be posted tomorrow.

To remove the #plate bulb holders.
get your fingers in there and ease them firmly to one side (if that side doesn't work, try the other side) and at the same time slightly pulling downwards. They may be a bit tight if they've not come out before.

to get to the side light bulbs
put you front wheels on full lock so you can gain access to the front wheel arch. remove the bottom plastic bung clip, then the others going up the outer side of the wheel arch/bumper.
Once those are removed, pull out the wheel arch from the lip of the front wing/bumper. The wheel arch won't break!! Squeeze your arm in the gap and fiddle for the head light cover. Unclip and feel for the side light bulb holder. 1/4 turn will remove it. pull out the std bulb and carefully replace with new SMD Bulb. If the bulb doesn't work, take it out and re fit the other way round (- & + might be wrong way round).
Then work backwards and put everything back.

Time to remove the wheels and have a little clean up while I'm at it I think.

Cheers for sorting this out phil
