I hated them and nearly put me off buying the car , when i asked wot he had done with the originals her said " i tossed them in the skip at work"

Mick

 

Mate, I think the STi lights are (at least) 100x better than them old lexus style ones.

Thumbs up for a top looking scoob.! (and the Mitsu 4x4 on 'DUBS' - reminds me of the one in back to the future Marty McFly gets somehow)

Couple of nice motors you got there fella!

22"s to be fare , i love that truck , 2003 only done 17000 miles its a 2.8 auto import, all the goodies on . had to get it to tow the jet ski and get the wife and the 4yr old boy in, we spend a lot of weekends in barmouth in the summer with the ski, its an ideal tool for us

mick

 

Well done that looks so much better

 

De-chavving, long may it continue!

 

Weren't the sti style rear lights orange instead of white on a car of this age? They were on my old Impreza.

 

Scoobyworld have got the STI Rear lights in stock now too, £225 although I'm not sure on the postage. It looks mint now though, I'm really starting to like white Imprezas, its one might fine example.

 

regarding the rear sti lights, how do you go about wiring the foggies up? just curious because if you have a uk classic with standard lights, like mine, and pop on some sti (import) rear lights.... doesnt add up. id like to do it, but wires arent my thing, pencils are ...

just a potential mod for the future...

just keep the loom that comes with the UK rears and when its MOT time swap them over with the JDM one making sure you use a high output red bulb and it will pass

 

Mines an import anyway so I presume from what C.O'B is talking about I'll be ok with the STI rear lights??

 

yeah straight swap for you fella

andy

uk's are more troublesome, but sti lights are uber sexual chocolate.

 

Sorted, I'll be having a set then and yes I agree, they look 10x better than normal one and are infinately better than the chrome rubbish stuff.

 

From wot ive found out these are the correct ones, many get changed for tango ones because of the replacement cost , if i had gone that way £40 a pair off ebay and millions to go for , but this way the correct way £200+ minimum, thats why many replace with the orange ones ,

Not as good as the best mod I made I might add!
Bolted on a full-on VTA dumpvalve - car must have gained 30BHP and carved a second off it's 0-60 time - beat that if you can!

 

I removed the Nagometer from the car, instantaneously goes quicker in all directions. Much less of a droning noise too

 

lexus lights suck!

 

Only version 1 and 2. 3 onwards the rear lights were white.

 

Thats a V2 though! Any Impreza looks better with STI rear lamps of course...

 

Even Wagons

 

Especially 'Wagons!

 

goes without saying

 

That's my point though. This isn't a 4, 5 or a 6.

 

Fantastic looking white scoob . Love the wheels and the lights are spot on

 

the car is a 1997 sti v2 the pic ive seen of this car when it was imported it had these lights fitted , just the last t..t took them off, as far as i can trace they are the correct ones for the year,

Anyway, I was proud of my orange rear lights when I had my last Subaru. It showed mine was rarer than the common as much white rear lights
