hawkeye tail light swap for blobeye tail lights
 

If i am correct the 05 blobeye rear tail lights are a straight swap for the lexus type hawkeye rear lights. If someone local wants to try this swap on my driveway i would be interested (chelmsford) essex. I am a bit of a loss how the reversing light /fog light set up will work but i am already tiring of look of the lexus lights so if someone is selling a set of blobeye rears or fancies a swap drop me a pm

I have a set of lights for sale

Not sure if they are the ones you are after.
If you are going from 3 bulb to 4 bulb(or visa versa) then you need the new bulb hanger, they have these at japperformance.co.uk.

^ they look like wagon ones ?

Where in Chelmsford are you mate...local boy:thumb:

you have pm

the lights above look the same as what i have on the car already.

i am a bit new to the scooby scene and not really up on the different models but the lights i prefer are like the ones in my link

Do you live in Writtle mate, if so I saw you the other day :thumb:

That was me i may have seen you, get quite a few go past my house though.

I drove passed it parked up mate nice shiney 57 GB270 on the corner.:thumb:

If you need any help mate just ask, I only live round the corner:thumb:

All a bit new to me at the moment, wont be messing with it yet. The lights if i can change on my own i will , but the lip spoiler needs a bodyshop. It is the wifes car really mine at the weekend. Pop by and say hello though anytime

Yes the hawk/blob rear lights are plug and play :thumb: i have done this myself going from blob to hawk rears :D just make sure that whatever rear lights you get come with the bulb harness

do i need a soldering iron for this or do they all unclip from the harness (bulbs) and can be repositioned in the new harness?

my mate said they swap straight over. let me know if you still want to swap

wiley

yes they simply unplug from the existing harness and the new ones plug straight in no soldering is needed at all

what version are these from?

^^^

sti8, blobeye ones

wiley

nice meetiing you mate, hope you prefer my lights

wiley

^ did you swap or sell wiley ? I will have to take the dog for a walk in that direction tomorrow to inspect the new lights.:D

Thanks wiley for that , probably the easiest thing i have ever done on a car. nice car you have there by the way sounded cool burbling up the road. now my kids want me to make our car sound like that!

Is that rear lower valance (lower part of bumper) standard on the OE GB270..? Looks different :cool: to the normal one..:wonder:

^ Yes I believe it is.

Anyone a bit further North fancy this swap let me know, just to be clear I have Hawkeye lights and want to swap for Blobeye.....please.:thumb:

Looks 100% better Gaz :thumb:

Hmmm, and I take it it should be a straight fit onto a WRX..:norty:

Anyone able to get me a part number for that bumper, was thinking of having an 05> STI on fitted with arch extensions (don't ask :cry:..lol) but TBH I prefer that one..:cool:

Agree about it looking better, the blobeye lights just look smoother, less fussy..:)

a gent as always..;)

I saw a guy the other day at trax with a hawkeye who had managed to either buy or do himself 'smoked hawkeye' rear lights and although they were on a black car they did look very good. Almost made me want them back!!!

dont think it would look so good on a wr blue car though

^ Runs off to post mine in 'For Sale General':lol1:

Thats the look I,m after Stu, looks spot on:thumb:

mission accomplished, looking a bit more like i want it now

any suggestions?

leave the centre black and paint the sides imo
