I'll be blunt - the aftermarket clusters are dog****, and you're a berk for ever having them on your car.

bin the lex"****" style rubbish and get a tin of tinting spray off flebay for about a tenner. just do the orange part of the standard lights with a couple of light coats looks good and costs alot less than sti red & clear rear lenses....but there is a group by on at present for about £160 delivered which aint bad ive seen them make more second hand!

I agree with everyone else, bin the Lexarse lights, and get some STI ones,
Another small tip that I would do is peel off the Gold Prodrive sticker from where it is now and move it to either under the Impreza sticker or under the boot lock (and get it done in silver) it seems to look out of place, just my opinion though so don't anyone shoot me!

Cheers guys. The afterburners do look really cr*p in that pic but do not look as bad in the flesh they actually suit the dark colour of the car. I dont think they look that bad in the pic below:



But im sure many of you will disagree

My Rear lights didnt come with fog light either. So i bought stick a stick on rear parcel shelf brake light from halfords for £9.99. Wired it up to the fog light lead and hey presto. MOT center said it would not pass, then i told them to check their book, becasue as as long as its visible and to the right side or center of the car it will pass

passed fine
