Question classic import rear light conversion

New to this forum and any info would be great as i've just bought a 1996 wrx sti version 2 555. Are all of the aftermarket rear light conversions mainly the lexus lights a direct replacement on the import as the fog is in the bumper ie the connectors etc. Also what is a good buy dump valve wise as the budget is tight at the mo?

cheers

mate,dont get 'lexus' lights.
your driving an impreza not a 'lexus'
the ones you want are the sti 5/6 red/clear ones
keep fog light in the bumper or you can incorporate it
in the light cluster,,,there have been many threads on how to do this

dump-valve,is a matter of taste,i've got a baileys vta
but there are loads to choose from.

I have some Afterburners on MY93 Import...

They are something you love or hate i think, to be honest i prefer the STI light's in the day, but the Afterburners look the nuts at night, hence why i have kept them...

They are an easy direct replacement for the classics, i think about 5 bolts on each light and loads of that nasty masktic stuff sealing them, took me ages to 'Hairdryer' that crap away...

Got my Afterburners from the link below...

And here's a pic of them on my car:
