Default Opinion please on rear lights...

Just wondered what other peoples opinions were on my choice of lights lol.

First pic is factory standard "Lexus" style lights.
The second are lights from a MY03-MY05 Impreza.

The second being my choice, hence I have replaced them.

What you think ?

Excellent, glad people agree

As for what were they smoking.... I thought they might have struck up a deal with POTN or Ripspeed to supply parts!
Shockingly bad, and more to the point, only one reverse and one fog light. Totally unbalanced look!
I love the 03-05 ones with the HUGE brake lights...

Fair play mate personal opinion is what the world is about Just wondered how many agreed with mine lol.

Would not be so bad if they had retained the layout and actual lights, and changed the lenses to the more clear ones as they have. But I just dont like having 1 fog and 1 reverse, always looks like a bulb has blown to me lol

Hehe fair play, if I had known they were desired by 03-05 drivers I would have offered a swap. Still would think about it for a good conditioned set. As these are not as perfect as I would like.

^^ On mine the round rear lights are the "lights" with the square ones being the brake lights. Looks miles better IMHO & is the opposite to the UK cars.
