I think they look much better on your year of car, but are to clear for the Pre face lift.
Lets have a piccie from further away & just to one side for the final Vote !!

I upgraded the headlamps on mine to HIDs and fitted the later 'crystal' headlamps at the same time (its a 98) - I've now fitted these clear sidelights - as you can see from this piccy - They were a MUST !

Bioforger - they're easy to fit - see text instructions..

http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/showthrea...elight+removal

And some piccies on this 'morrettes' thread.....

http://www.scoobymods.com/forums/showthread.php?t=54

They can be buggers to get out - as the first thread suggests....

Hope that helps,

Mark

oh - and no, you don't need to take the headlights out - just one phillips screw and a bit of a tug (oo-err)...

I love 'em - although I'm unsure as the best place to get them as I got some a while ago and wasn't that happy with them so they went back on ebay...

erm? got me thinking now. I suppose the correct English would be "in" but thinking of the voice at the beginning of the prog I'm almost certain it's "on".

Is it on UK Gold anywhere?

According to http://www.culttelly.co.uk/lyrics/ateam.html - they are :

The A Team

In 1972 a crack commando unit was sent to prison by a military court for a crime they didn't commit. These men promptly escaped from a maximum security stockade to the Los Angeles underground. Today still wanted by the government, they survive as soldiers of fortune. If you have a problem. If no one else can help, and if you can find them, maybe you can hire, The A Team.

[Machine gun fire]

Music by Mike Post

[Jeep crashing]

[BA kicking wooden door in]

[Cylon visor buzzing]


But I think that they changed at some point - the above must be a late one, where 'face' spots a cylon in a 'battlestar' crossover moment....

Dean - Messiah's 'location' field is a reference to the start-voice over on the A-Team..... but when I read it, I thought it implied that they had escaped and are now riding around the LA underground - like the NY Angels....

To bring the thread back....

Silver Vs Orange bulbs page.... http://www.wildsworld.co.uk/myimpreza-lights.htm and http://www.wildsworld.co.uk/myimprez...comparison.htm

Top Notch !!!


If you call these
http://www.autolamps-online.com/index.htm

Order a pair of W5W Blue Vision side light bulbs.... they have a slight blue look to them when they are off but when you power them up they are crisp white the same as you head lights.
What I found with mine was because they are low voltage they glowed a yuck yellow colour but after this easy upgrade it has changed the appearence completely.

Simon - I can second that - I particularly found them yellow compared to the HIDS -

Well worth getting (In fact mine were free with some Philips Vision bulbs for Jayne's car)...
