spotlight shagged
Hiya lads , ive just stripped my spotlights out on my95 wrx , to find were one of the bulbs filaments goes into the holder the solder has broken away fron the white wire , i,m assuming the new bulb comes with the metal holder and the white wire does it as it would be a bugger to re solder ,and were would i get one from , does anyone know if halfords or somewere like that does em , cheers
OK, I assume you mean the OE foglights? yes? Then if so, the bulbs are, IIRC H3, and these are the ones with a wire coming out of the bulb with a male spade on the end?
If you're with me so far, that's what you'll get if you go to Hell-Frauds or a carshop and ask for an H3 bulb.
Replacement is simple, there are sprung clips holding the old bulb in place, bend them inwards to release them and lift them up on their hinge. Replace and refit.

OE........"Original Equipment" ie: already fitted when the car was new.
As against "Aftermarket" which is obvious.
Loads of people get rid of the fogs and put a driving light kit in their place, as the fogs are all but useless and so are the OE headlights, so an extra pair of driving lights seems a good idea.
They were one of my first mods.
