It's an OEM STi Version V (5) rear wing. As fitted to STi cars for the 1999MY (Sep 98 to Aug 99).

Sadly, It's almost impossible to track the light down online these days; but I did come across this site:

https://www.spoilerlights.com/sl-cat...wrx/1994-1999/

Not very helpful re. the descriptions, but it does give dimensions and number of LEDs etc... So might be able to carefully cross-reference for a positive ID?

Obviously, they're red lenses with white LEDs (and not the OEM white with red LEDs)... But better than nothing, I guess.

Fab!

How did you know that light was going to be the correct one, given its New Age description?! Or did you just go by the pictures and the stated length?

Oh and lol at the all important can of Heineken. Thirsty work, all that lamp changing.

Oh and cheers, Jimmy...

Thanks to you, I have now added that to my Watch List (just in case, sometime in the future, my own one should go for a burton).
