I am the owner of a 2003 facelift impreza sti, however, i'm having a little trouble replacing the sidelight bulbs. What is the procedure for their removal? Do the headlights require complete removal? Stupid question i know, but its not very obvious!

 

Each side has a single screw at the outer edge of the top of the headlight: remove it, and then pull the sidelight forwards to take it off it's ball and socket mount.

Replace as reverse.

i'm goign to have to try this.

i spent hours squeezing my hands in to replace the main bulbs and gave up trying to replace the side lights when i thought i had to pull the headlight unit out but couldn't.

thanks!

 

For newage cars you have to remove the lens if I remember.
