dont know if anybody else knows but you can now get light conversions for the front and rear of 03my imprezas. i think the fronts fit both saloon and wagon but the rears only do saloons prices are about £325 for the front and £275 for the rears all plus the vat.

Please can you advise where these light conversions are available for the MY03 WRX

They are available from your friendly Subaru Dealer

Check out the Subaru Website

Go to Accessories

THEN IMPREZA NOT WRX OR STI
Then External and its at the bottom of the list

Spoke to Days of Chelmsford today

They said they DO fit the WRX and Sti but they hadn't done one before so they would charge 2 hours labour to fit AND they weren't sure whether they need painting

I'll speak to IM directly to find out

Interesting. Fronts are in the list of external accessories for the STi too. Can't think why the rears would not fit an STi, the rears are the same are they not? Just an oversight I would think.

I like the look of the fronts but will need to see a bigger picture. Not cheap either. Wonder what happens to the indicators? If they're in one of the round lights I hope they're not tangoed.

Backs do nothing for me personally, they remind me of the "lexus lights on a nova" concept on the old max power front cover design thread.

Anyone find out if the quoted price for the fronts is painted?

I guess not or there would be separate part number sfor each colour. Anyone know roughly what people charge to paint morettes, guess classic or blobeye morettes will cost similar to paint as these.
