Pretty easy - do it from in the wheel arch, pull the liner away - undo clips first - and stick arm behind liner. Reach headlamp, pull out side light bulb and holder, swap bulbs ( if using LEDs they are erm .. handed? directinal ? check em working before refit arch etc. ! ). Refit bulb holder, refit arch and clips.
Only care is don't drop bulb into lamp unit!
Search on this thread for neoquip, led bulbs ( I think ) as Phil does the bulbs and I am sure there was an install post off someone .

Surface Mount Devices, modern LED types.
There were 2 sizes, 9 and 13 .. which refers to the light emitting patches on the bulb, the 13 being longer.
I got some 9's for my hatch.. then the rear rev lights and red one for the clear "fog" light.

hatchback sti OEM exhaust
Hi guys.
Firstly, hi I'm new to this forum. I put a turboback Longlife exhaust with ecu remap onto my 2008 sti hatchback in March, which turned out to be the best decision I've ever made . This has left me with the full OEM exhaust taking up space iny garage.
How much is the OEM turboback exhaust worth and would anyone be interested in buying it?
Thanks
Alex

Well after 10 days on ebay my cosworth cs400 dampers didn't sell so I've decided to fit them after all.
Interested to see the rear dampers are coilovers but the fronts aren't. The front springs are much more narrow than the standard sti ones too. The whole package should give a 15mm drop which should still work ok with my front lip spoiler. Think I may look at eibach wheel spacers once this is done to fill the arches more.
Geometry will need to be done too as I'm messing front camber up for sure.
I'll give some feedback when fitted. £400 second hand for Bilstein dampers and eibach springs can't be grumbled at.

MOT fail on side light bulbs!!!
MOT FAIL on side light bulbs - front - being a bit blue instead of white! Apparently rule came in on this last year?
These are the SMD types.
IS this true or over keen garage?
Only other option apparently to have letter from Subaru stating they are OEM!!!
Thoughts?
