Do i have to remove the whole front headlight on my 2003 WRX (Blob eye) to change the sidelight? Ive had a very quick look and there seems to be a black screw type cap on the back of the light but it didnt shift easily.

Yep, the headlight has to come out, after removing the bolts you will find that they can be a bit stubborn to get out as they tend to sit quite tight on the rubber mounts

Well if that's the case, think i'll just change all the bulbs in both fronts at once, least i know theyre done for a while then. What about the rears? Is there a hatch to get into those or do they need to come out too? Cheers!

I'd think there is a bulb-mounting plate that unclips, like on a classic.

Yes headlight out jobbie. Do a search on detangoed headlights and you should find removal info

I did both of my sidelights a couple of weeks ago. It's not as much hassle as people say. I was done in about an hour taking it very slow (coffee on tap)

remove grill and there is a bolt behind there for headlight and two on top then pull forwards and its out

Well I've had a google search and i might try and find my tool box tmo and have a go.... I might even learn some new swear words lol. Got a feeling I'll end up with a hand full of nuts and bolts left over and an unchanged light system!!!
