Default Lexus or STI lights?

Got the silver classic scoob with the crystal front end lamps, but standard rear lights at the back.

Lexus lights or STI lights to match...

cheaper option is lexus but would like to stick to Subaru brand.

Any advice would be great.

Fankoooooo

Never 'Lexus' lights. Ever.

They can be bought for a lot less than £200.

Thanks guys... I know sti is the way to go for originality etc but he doesn't see the difference between the sti and standard ones?!?!

Is it worth keeping an eye out at scrappies etc?

I had Lexus lights on mine when I bought it. Hated them, one of my first mods was to get STi ones. As stated, they are only £200 new so don't pay that for them second hand off eBay.

Don't do Lexus, sounds like you need a new bloke too lol.
