Hi All,

Am I the only one with a genuine STI 7 headlamp conversion?? Well maybe. Mucho effort involved, luckily I had Mark on hand(large pint owed) to carry out the technical stuff. Not a 5 min job so thankyou Mark and Rachel.

Worth the effort I hope you'll agree.

Andy

fraid not, think we'd have seen a few more if it was!

Only thing that wasnt do-able was the adjusters, on the back of the STI light its a 6 pin plug, the WRX is only a 3 pin. If anyone has a convertor Id love to hear from them, but I doubt it!

the other prob you have is that to do a proper job you need all the plugs that go into the back of the light. We eventually found what we needed in a Toyota Celica(older shape)

Just get an electrical tester, count what bulbs you have, count how many wire, cross reference them with you new unit, snip, snip, bit of soldering, jobs done. Or get an auto electrician. Should be a doddle for them.
