Thoroughly recommend these. I took a small rock in the fog lamp at the weekend and have just had to fork out 60squid for an entire new lamp unit!!

I agree, paid £178.00 for new headlight .... paid £28.95 for set of light covers and they're not as unsightly as people make out

The covers have saved me a few quid over the last year.

I can tell from all the chips & scratches.

Si,

I got a set of fog light covers for my Terzo week before last, £26 from the local Scooby garage. I had tried the 'Wanted' section on here but no joy, also check out Scoobysport. However, I tried on a couple of occasions but they're always sold out.

Good investment though!

Dead right Ed - they don't look as bad as most people make out.

Totally agree guys, had these on mine since new, over 2 yrs ago. In that time I've been through 2/3 sets of fogs and 1 set of headlamp ones, so I'd have had to fork out tons on headlamp and fog lenses.

I thought that Graham Goode did them, or maybe it is scoobyparts.com?

If you keep 'em clean they have no detrimental effect on headlamps, and I think that they look fine. In fact I'm surprised more people don't have 'em.

Watch out when taking the clear Subaru foglamp covers off to clean them, the plastic tangs are weak / brittle and snap off easily (I should know its happened twice to me over the last 2 years)

Tip: Don't take em off in cold weather

Also, watch out when you first fit them.

The one that said "drivers side" on mine wasn't, so i ended up snapping off one of the clips because there was not enough room [img]images/smilies/mad.gif[/img]

Definitely worth fitting though!

Question

Has anyone fitted them to a Sport. I got some budget ones from somewhere and they didn't fit my fogs so I had to send them back.

I fitted the headlight protectors at the weekend. Just think of it as a pair of clear shades for your scooby

Yep

Getting covers this week when I go in to have a foglight replaced (& any remnants of pheasant removed). Amazed that the only other damage was a tiny crack just to the right of the foggie fairing- impact @ approx 70mph.

[I know- that does sound fast for a pheasant ]
