Hi guys, another noobie question but cannot for the life find me what im after...

basically iv seen a fair few of you have the darker coloured head lamps i.e without the orange indicator..can anybody point me in the direction of where to get some?

Cheers-o-mundo

 

Hi mate I think its a DIY mod. I baked mine, removed the orange thingy and sprayed the surround black. takes a couple of hours but looks better. I got the instructions off here somewhere..

hope it helps

 

sort of, but thought you could buy after-market headlamps other than the morrettes?

 

Depends what you are after. STI ones look like this...



Or there's a few different options that you can get off ebay

The other option is bake your lights in the oven, soften the sealant and pull them apart, then detango and paint as required

 

i got these





please let me know if you change as im after a standard one as the aftermarket ones are crap lol

 

yours are exactly what im after..so there just standard sti headlamps?

 

There is 2 versions but both look the same. The JDM ones come with HID lamps, but you need to make sure you get all the ballasts and everything if you get them. About £1k new from subaru iirc, but the classifieds are your friend here, just be patient. Expect to pay about £150-£200 for non-HID lights and £250-£300 for HID.

The wiring loom is different too and if you need help give me a shout. I can make a loom up for about £20 delivered - you just need to crimp/solder a couple of connections or send me a couple of bits as I cannot genuine subaru connectors. If you are local (Watford) I can do the whole fitting for you in about an hour.

 

cheers mate, was hoping they would be a straight swap

 

JDM HID`s for me, Bit of a pain to wire up so i would jump at the chance to get a wiring loom, If it`s a UK WRX with a JDM headlight, None of the connectors are the same except the indicator, Got there in the end though

 

Here's one I made earlier...





That's the prototype that went in my car.

It's not just the JDM, the UK lights have different looms as well
