Question Bugeye front lights???????????????

HELP, I just can't decide what to do with my headlights. I have a blue STI Prodrive. I don't know whether to keep the ones i've got, get the morrettes, the UK300 ones, or even what colour to go for. Any suggestions would be appreciated preferably with some pics.

Keep them as they are - the STI headlamps are the best looking by far IMHO which is why I spent so long looking for some.
All you're doing my changing them is screwing up your wiring loom potentially!
Apparently the Morrette ones aren't quite as sturdy either.

Unless you're after the UK300 look I'd leave it well alone and concentrate on other potential forms of styling.

[Edit]Just noticed it's a Prodrive edition too - leave it alone - they're lurverly to begin with!!!! lol[/Edit]

Cheers for the advice. I think that's what I'll do, I was just seeing if anyone had some different ideas. I like Blue scoobies with black/carbon trim. If you have a Subaru it has to be blue, there is no substitute. lol.

Black is the new blue !

I've allready got an HID kit fitted, looks mint. Great mod for the money.
Nice advertising anyway.

Thumbs up

Morette's all the way. I would have sold my bug if i couldnt find a set of Morettes, they totaly change the bug into one of the best looking scoobs. Take a look at before & after.

If I do get Morette's, should I get them in blue or black on my blue Scoob?
