Question Bugeye styling problem!

I have sorted all the styling issues with my bugeye wrx (sti spoiler colour coding carbon lip spoiler etc.) So lastly i tackle the headlights. Or so i think. Called everyone i can for morettes but they have stopped making them and no one has any stock! So i consider Sti headlights but theyre still not all that different. I then call subaru and they have a few pairs of wrx 300 headlights left but at £530 +vat! What should one do!

STi units look much better in my opinion, but I'm biased

Wiley, it's just samco stuff but I opted for purple - kits I have are the 76mm induction hose (Part no???), Intercooler, collant and coolant auxilliary kits (TCS168, TCS135-C and TCS135-C/A) as well as a selection of 3, 4 and 5mm vacuum hose around the bonnet.

Or go with JDM STi ones to have HID built in . A little pricey though

Shop around, my JDM STi lights cost less than £200 and I made my own looms

I went through this lighting thing a few months ago. I got some Morette's off Dunx and love the look. It just finished off the front of my car. I will say the o/e STI lights are a better light.

Wulsey

Did you take the PS cooler off to colour code it, if so was it fairly easy to do.

Cheers

Your power steering cooler (square tube thing on left side of rad) is white, normally they're black. Did you paint it yourself?

I want to strip mine and polish it, so I was wondering how easily it came off - looks fairly easy tbh

Good work on the photos Wulsey. I also didn't know you could get them for around £200 which makes them bit of a steal! I swear by mine, best looking bug lights and fantastic light.

Contrary to popular belief, bargains can be had on fleabay if you're lucky enough to find an ill-informed seller

Yes, none of the main or high beam plugs are the same. There is a guy on here called Wagons Ho (he's in canada) who makes the looms.

Alternatively, they are easy to make yourself if you know how to crimp
