no, these are SMD (surface mount device).

 

how do they compare both in life time and brightness and are they legal?

 

I passed MOT on Wednesday with them, got them on the Van and Jo's Focus too... all passed MOT.

Life ... nothing lasts for ever and can't guarantee anything when it comes to any bulb.

 

I currently have smd's in the rear license plate holders and they've been in 3 years without issue. lost a front led the other day but it's working again, so will leave them alone. MOT soon on mine

 

I've already got the front sides done, can you do me a pair of rear no. plate SMDs then Phil please?

Actually, £8 for all 4 inc postage is a bargain, I'll take a set - PM your paypal please!

They are just like the Rally Armor Version 1's size/shape. Like the look but not sure how they look on a car.

or these...http://www.performancecreations.co.u...logo-144-p.asp


So who has what fitted and what do they look like on your car.

 

can anyone one explain how to set the rev limit ping on a 2008 sti hatch?

 

I have the rally armar ones on my hatch

 

Hi guys looking at a couple pair of alloys.

Would 17" x 7.5 Rota subzero alloys fit my sti.
Or 17" x 7 Rota Slipstreams?

Cheers,

 

speak with Maggy in the tyre and alloy section. He's the dealer for them so will know and best price.

 

Setting the alarm level engine speed
1/ Push the trip **** to select “REV” on the combination meter
2/ When the trip **** is pushed for more than 2 seconds the thousands place flashes.
3/ Release your finger from the trip **** once, then push and hold the trip **** again. The number will change sequentially from 2 to 7. Release your finger at the desired alarm level engine speed.
4/ When the trip **** is pushed, the hundreds place flashes.
5/ Release your finger from the trip **** once, then push and hold the trip **** again. The number will change sequentially from 1 to 9. Release your finger at the desired alarm level engine speed.
6/ When the trip **** is pushed, the buzzer sounds and the REV alarm system will automatically enter its new setting mode (step 7 below), in which you can activate or deactivate the buzzer.
7/ Every time the trip **** is pushed and held, the buzzer changes to activate or deactivate.
b – On: Activated
b – oFF: Deactivated
When the mode is changed to “activate”, the buzzer sounds.
8/ Push the trip **** to complete the setting procedure.
This all has to be done with the ignition On and the car stationary.

All this information can be found in the Owners Manual, Chapter 3-13 in my manual for 09 hatch sti may be different in other manuals.

 

Made a totally newb error while ordering parts from Japan and ordered 3 pairs of the black front arch STi badges from the R205 by accident. Will teach me to check the cart quantity next time

You have PM

 

Can someone do me a quick favour please?

I need the measurement from an 09 sun visor. From the outside edge of the L shaped bracket to the outside edge of the clip seat.

My drivers side has broken and I and I need the size to make sure some spares will fit. I know an 08 legacy ones will, but these are from an 07 impreza. If they dont fit, I'll be pulling them apart to repair mine.


Ps: I can't cos mines in the garage under assesment, to determine just how sick it is.

 

How do you get the front interior light of to change the bulbs haha? Tried to pita card up the side and pry the lense of or do you pull the whole plastic bit off?

 

In the clear lense at the front there are two small notches, just a gently pry in there will release the lense to gain access to the bulbs

 

i just measured the ones on my car (09 sti type uk ppp) the measurement was 28cm outside to outside edges but the bracket closest to the drivers door is a triangle shape rather than L shape? hope this helps! steve.

 

GUYS.. all you who ordered #plate +side light bulbs, they have been tested and packed this evening, will be posted tomorrow.

To remove the #plate bulb holders.
get your fingers in there and ease them firmly to one side (if that side doesn't work, try the other side) and at the same time slightly pulling downwards. They may be a bit tight if they've not come out before.

to get to the side light bulbs
put you front wheels on full lock so you can gain access to the front wheel arch. remove the bottom plastic bung clip, then the others going up the outer side of the wheel arch/bumper.
Once those are removed, pull out the wheel arch from the lip of the front wing/bumper. The wheel arch won't break!! Squeeze your arm in the gap and fiddle for the head light cover. Unclip and feel for the side light bulb holder. 1/4 turn will remove it. pull out the std bulb and carefully replace with new SMD Bulb. If the bulb doesn't work, take it out and re fit the other way round (- & + might be wrong way round).
Then work backwards and put everything back.

 

Time to remove the wheels and have a little clean up while I'm at it I think.

Cheers for sorting this out phil

 

thanks mate

 

thanks salsa

 

Here's the pic 1 set left!

 

When Eastwoods replaced my bulbs recently Norman did the passenger side from the top, and with the headlight still in place
I think from memory he moved the battery a little so he could get at it.
Didn't see how he did the drivers side.
