Mate, I think the STi lights are (at least) 100x better than them old lexus style ones.:thumb:

Thumbs up for a top looking scoob.! (and the Mitsu 4x4 on 'DUBS' - reminds me of the one in back to the future Marty McFly gets somehow)

Couple of nice motors you got there fella!:luxhello:

Weren't the sti style rear lights orange instead of white on a car of this age? They were on my old Impreza.

BULLITT 02 January 2007 12:59 PM

Scoobyworld have got the STI Rear lights in stock now too, £225 although I'm not sure on the postage. It looks mint now though, I'm really starting to like white Imprezas, its one might fine example.:thumb: :thumb: :)

regarding the rear sti lights, how do you go about wiring the foggies up? just curious because if you have a uk classic with standard lights, like mine, and pop on some sti (import) rear lights.... doesnt add up. id like to do it, but wires arent my thing, pencils are:lol1: ...

just a potential mod for the future...

just keep the loom that comes with the UK rears and when its MOT time swap them over with the JDM one making sure you use a high output red bulb and it will pass :)

BULLITT 02 January 2007 03:28 PM

Mines an import anyway so I presume from what C.O'B is talking about I'll be ok with the STI rear lights??

Sorted, I'll be having a set then:) and yes I agree, they look 10x better than normal one and are infinately better than the chrome rubbish stuff.

From wot ive found out these are the correct ones, many get changed for tango ones because of the replacement cost , if i had gone that way £40 a pair off ebay and millions to go for , but this way the correct way £200+ minimum, thats why many replace with the orange ones ,

Not as good as the best mod I made I might add!:norty:
Bolted on a full-on VTA dumpvalve - car must have gained 30BHP and carved a second off it's 0-60 time - beat that if you can!
:eek2:

rescc 02 January 2007 05:08 PM

I removed the Nagometer from the car, instantaneously goes quicker in all directions. Much less of a droning noise too :lol1:

Only version 1 and 2. 3 onwards the rear lights were white.

GC8 02 January 2007 11:39 PM

Thats a V2 though! Any Impreza looks better with STI rear lamps of course...

That's my point though. This isn't a 4, 5 or a 6.

wide 03 January 2007 10:08 AM

Fantastic looking white scoob . Love the wheels and the lights are spot on

octain 03 January 2007 10:09 AM

the car is a 1997 sti v2 the pic ive seen of this car when it was imported it had these lights fitted , just the last t..t took them off, as far as i can trace they are the correct ones for the year,

scoobynutta555 03 January 2007 12:31 PM

Anyway, I was proud of my orange rear lights when I had my last Subaru. It showed mine was rarer than the common as much white rear lights ;)
