Subaru Impreza rear bulb holders and loom
 
So i'm looking for Subaru impreza classic rear bulb holders and loom brand new, i have the passengers side with 3 bulb holders, but the drivers side has a fog light, and can't find a loom and holders for drivers side?

I found these in the USA for passengers side.

If it's a JDM then the fog light bulb replaced one of the reverse bulbs on my car instead of fitting a separate fog lamp.

jaygsi 18 July 2017 01:35 PM

How you mean Rich? As in one side has brake, main lights, reversing and the other had brake, main lights, and rear fog?

Yes Jay.
On mine the main light and brake are on the same dual bulb,then you got indicator and on one side(N/S) is reverse lamp the other (O/S) is fog.

So if yours standard rear lights? Not JDM?

No mine are JDM,they don't come with fog lights,some fit an external light hanging from the bumper etc,my conversion was done using one of the reverse light positions with a red bulb.
I'm not sure how a UK car is set up?

It might be worth buying UK lights and swapping the bits over.

jaygsi 18 July 2017 04:00 PM

I have one uk loom and one JDM. But the uk models have an extra hole for the fog light.

Thought your car was a UK car. Are you trying to keep or get rid of the fog light in the cluster.

jaygsi 18 July 2017 07:46 PM

Yes i have a UK Impreza, but just bought a brand new set of STI rear lights. So looking to fit my fog light in, i have 2 looms i think passengers is JDM and drivers side is UK with a fog.

NOSSY_89 18 July 2017 09:38 PM

I thought so but wasn't sure if you meant what I thought

Just realised yours are brand new. What I was previously suggesting was changing the outer bits and swapping them over. So you would have the UK back and the JDM outer housing. I think the bulb locations are the same.

If you don't mind my asking where did you get the lights and how much, pm is necessary.

jaygsi 18 July 2017 11:50 PM

Ah didn't think of that, are the backs easy to remove?

Got them off a trader on here. Good price but i believe last ones in stock sorry.

I think I know what ones your mean, it was a few months ago now wasn't it.

Haven't tried it but it should be a case of removing the sealant, there were a few threads on lights that were leaking so similar sort of process really.

You might want to check the link below as well. You take the fog light wire and connect it to the bulb where the new fog light will go.

jaygsi 19 July 2017 08:04 PM

Cheers for link some good info there. I still have my old lights if interested.

jaygsi 20 July 2017 10:28 AM

Does anyone have the part number for the drivers side loom?

ossett2k2 20 July 2017 11:07 AM

Is this what you're after jay?

jaygsi 20 July 2017 11:15 AM

I'm after the part code for the complete loom but drivers side as that has extra fog i believe, in the UK lights?

ossett2k2 20 July 2017 11:22 AM

Ah the one i posted is for JDM rh side loom,not sure if this software has uk?
I'll have another look,don't suppose you know the applied model code?

jaygsi 20 July 2017 02:50 PM

Sorry Rich not a clue.

mickywrx 23 July 2017 08:41 PM

Wasting your time with a JDM loom, on a UK car to get the rear fog light working with STI lights. Red LED bulb in the bulb holder for the fog light on the drivers side, and fit it where the reverse light would go on the drivers side. :thumb:

mickywrx 23 July 2017 08:46 PM

Just to add, if you haven't swapped the rear lights already, and you probably already know this, make sure you seal them well otherwise you'll end up up a flooded boot when it rains.

jaygsi 24 July 2017 01:32 AM

Cheers yeah I know that. Also seen a thread you commented on before about rear fog light conversion. I've decided to buy a rear loom drivers side off a uk model and just swap fog light for reversing light, or just add extra wire and bulb holder to JDM connector.

Plus I need some glue to seal rear lights will see what I have in garage.

This stuff is for sealing the lights to the car: http://www.caravan-components.co.uk/...-in-400ml-Tube

Non-setting mastic.

DO NOT use glue, silicone, Tiger Seal Sika Flex etc etc. You will never get them out again if you do, and you may need to, (accident etc). Silicone is awful, leaks after about a year, and a pig to remove and reseal.

jaygsi 24 July 2017 10:43 AM

Yeah I used silicone last time, was ok at getting off put rubbish at sealing. Ok will get some thanks.

Why do you need to buy a loom if yours is a UK car, or do you not have it anymore?

The bulb loom is held onto the back of the cluster by 1 screw from memory.

Not sure what version of Subaru Fast this is but it sure isn't for JDM models.

The JDM version is in Japanese .......

The loom posted by ossett2k2 above is for European RH (UK) version
Part number 84931FA130 (includes foglight socket).

UK LH loom is the same as the later JDM version 84931FA280
(Early and Later versions shown below)

Not sure Don?
Came on a disc with a few workshop manuals,had it for years but wasn't sure how to use it properly until you told me how :)

There is a drop down tab where it say 'grade' and it had JDM models as an option.

jaygsi 24 July 2017 08:30 PM

Thanks Don and Rich now armed with part numbers i'm on the hunt :thumb:
