Default Which fog lights do I have?

Hey guys! First post, so be kind!

So I have a 2003 wrx turbo sl ppp. I need to replace the nearside front fog, but I'm struggling to work out which one I need! I took a look at one off a bugeye but it seems to be too big.

My car looks like this at the front :-

Looking at the back of the bugeye fog, it looked like this:-

But the back of mine look totally different. Help!

Have you tried looking for one from a blobeye? Coz that's what your car is if it's the same as the one in the picture.

Yeah I know it's a blobeye. Its just, everywhere I look seems to list the foglights as 2000-2003. I assume all blobeyes have the same foglights? Or are the ones with prodrive any different? Am I right in saying sti's don't come with foglights? So I would need to find one specifically from a non sti wrx blobeye? Thanks

You're onto three posts now(!), so why are you wasting your time and money?

Well, the first bit refers to your first post "so be kind!" and now you're up to 4

....and the second bit is that fog lights are of no use whatsoever other than to successfully annoy me whenever I see someone with them on in the following situations in order of decreasing annoyance:

When it is not foggy or snowing - ie illegal use
When it is misty - ie illegal use
When it is foggy during daylight hours - Why?
When it is foggy at night - completely useless as their range dictates you can only drive at 10 - 20 mph.

Dip and main beam are much better for fog and snow.

....and.....calm.....

Oh uhm..it's not so much about using them, they both work fine. The left one has a couple of little holes in it and it's all fogged up and going horrible inside, so I want to replace either the lens cover or the whole unit. Subaru want £50 just for the cover so I was trying to find one at a breakers or so but they'll only sell the whole unit of course.

I quite like the aesthetics of fog lights, otherwise I'd just buy the covers. I have one shiny one and one that looks crap

You checked out ebay?
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Subaru-Imp...item35d79b3870

I'd take the dealer price........

Or replace with these: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/UNIVERSAL-...item25846a84ee

Might be able to wire 'em up from driving lights.
