Default Bugeye side markers

Im going to de-tango my bugeye. I was thinking of fitting these in place of the side markers.

nice work Jon, make sure we see some pics of it when its had paint.

to the OP - get your orange side markers colour coded, looks much nicer than the bling bling crystal markers.

Thanks I may let you know. You have the same colour as me and they look good, better in my opinion than on WR blue ones. Still wouldnt mind seeing some pics of the scoobyworld ones to see how they compare. The picture on their site isnt great.

I bought them second-hand from an SNer, but I believe that TSL sell/sold them.

No. The quarter repeater lights remain unchanged (apart from blue covers they still flash orange). The bits being changed are reflective patches that Subaru put in for reasons that are (I believe) due to legislation in another country. IIRC the US version doesn't have them for instance.

is it easy to get in there and access the bulbs? Mine have not worked since I bought the car, I presumed that they were simply reflectors (though mine are white) until I saw another scoob with them flashing.

Had look and the markers are on TSL's website still. I was thinking they were a bit pricey but if I read that correctly they come painted?
