Default 1st Mod recommended on 08 STI

Change the (lets face it) STUPID yellow hue sidelights to white LED bulbs.

£2 off ebay

Now the lights match the headlights

Sometimes I wonder about Subaru

I would have thought having the thing remapped to prevent the engine blowing up might have been more important!!

Thumbs up Hmmh.

Hey Scooby L

White leds for side lights is great....

How about the 'yellow' fogs - did you replace / know what to replace with ?

(I thought I read somewhere that Piaa bulbs are the only 'true white' replacement for fogs)



AND BEST FIRST MOD.....

Cosmetically it's the Sti splitter (followed closely by the fog lamp kit).

Mechanically its gotta be the Whiteline rear bush kit (followed closely by the 22mm arb's).

I've not got the fogs on mine Apostle, but I'd have thought "bright" white fogs would be pretty useless in foggy conditions!

My next mods will be decat/remap then bush kit and lowered springs.

Eventually followed by Advan RS's!

But £2 is hardly going to break the bank for now (credit crunch n all)

F1 : I've had the OEM remap to prevent underfueling at the redline (Not that I drive it one the redline), and still have a full Subaru warranty to cover any grenade tendancies!

Being serious for a minute that is good news. It may not be my favourite ever Scoob model, but I wouldn't like to hear of it blowing up on you.

Now about them rear lights
