RB5 Driving Lamp (fog light) covers
 
My RB5 is missing the driving lamp (fog light) covers and I am finding it near on impossible to find any second hand ones. Does anyone know if the same covers were used on any other model impreza? I would get them sprayed in steel blue and then put the RB5 stickers on them. I want them to be the exact same shape and size as the original ones though...?

I have a set of PIAA covers if you want. They are the same but are white, nothing a colour coding wouldn't sort out. The covers are £19 ish each new.

Since the RB5 CAME with driving lights, did it ever HAVE covers?

Yes they did come standard on the RB5.

They had PIAA driving lamps under covers that had RB5 stickers on them (see pics in that thread)

Ah ok cool. Pm on its way.

This is a pic of my driving lamps. They have "Subaru" written on the lenses, but look like all the other RB5s I have seen. Does anyone know if that's correct? Should they have PIAA on them?

Well I didn't know they came with lights AND covers. You learn something new.......as they say.

Now onto yours: the bad news is that those, if they say "Subaru" on them, are foglights, as all UK cars came with, and are a) totally useless and b) as cheap as chips.

I could have sworn that the RB5 came with eier PIAA or Cibie lights :confused:

Unfortunately you havent got the PIAA driving lights fitted, I think they are from a 97/98 UK Turbo, the correct light are larger like the pic below.
I dont think the PIAA covers would fit
