Default Subaru Impreza rear bulb holders and loom

So i'm looking for Subaru impreza classic rear bulb holders and loom brand new, i have the passengers side with 3 bulb holders, but the drivers side has a fog light, and can't find a loom and holders for drivers side?

I found these in the USA for passengers side.

If it's a JDM then the fog light bulb replaced one of the reverse bulbs on my car instead of fitting a separate fog lamp.

No mine are JDM,they don't come with fog lights,some fit an external light hanging from the bumper etc,my conversion was done using one of the reverse light positions with a red bulb.
I'm not sure how a UK car is set up?

It might be worth buying UK lights and swapping the bits over.

I have one uk loom and one JDM. But the uk models have an extra hole for the fog light.

Thought your car was a UK car. Are you trying to keep or get rid of the fog light in the cluster.

Yes i have a UK Impreza, but just bought a brand new set of STI rear lights. So looking to fit my fog light in, i have 2 looms i think passengers is JDM and drivers side is UK with a fog.

I thought so but wasn't sure if you meant what I thought

Just realised yours are brand new. What I was previously suggesting was changing the outer bits and swapping them over. So you would have the UK back and the JDM outer housing. I think the bulb locations are the same.

If you don't mind my asking where did you get the lights and how much, pm is necessary.

Ah didn't think of that, are the backs easy to remove?

Got them off a trader on here. Good price but i believe last ones in stock sorry.

I think I know what ones your mean, it was a few months ago now wasn't it.

Haven't tried it but it should be a case of removing the sealant, there were a few threads on lights that were leaking so similar sort of process really.

You might want to check the link below as well. You take the fog light wire and connect it to the bulb where the new fog light will go.

Wasting your time with a JDM loom, on a UK car to get the rear fog light working with STI lights. Red LED bulb in the bulb holder for the fog light on the drivers side, and fit it where the reverse light would go on the drivers side.

Just to add, if you haven't swapped the rear lights already, and you probably already know this, make sure you seal them well otherwise you'll end up up a flooded boot when it rains.

Cheers yeah I know that. Also seen a thread you commented on before about rear fog light conversion. I've decided to buy a rear loom drivers side off a uk model and just swap fog light for reversing light, or just add extra wire and bulb holder to JDM connector.

Plus I need some glue to seal rear lights will see what I have in garage.

This stuff is for sealing the lights to the car: http://www.caravan-components.co.uk/...-in-400ml-Tube

Non-setting mastic.

DO NOT use glue, silicone, Tiger Seal Sika Flex etc etc. You will never get them out again if you do, and you may need to, (accident etc). Silicone is awful, leaks after about a year, and a pig to remove and reseal.

Why do you need to buy a loom if yours is a UK car, or do you not have it anymore?

The bulb loom is held onto the back of the cluster by 1 screw from memory.

Part number 84931FA130 (includes foglight socket).

Not sure Don?
Came on a disc with a few workshop manuals,had it for years but wasn't sure how to use it properly until you told me how

There is a drop down tab where it say 'grade' and it had JDM models as an option.
