Default Classic fog lights

Following on from my 'PIAA fog lights' thread.

I don't really use my foglights so forking out £150+ for the driving lights would be a waste......

But I do really like the look of the covers ( white with the black writing) as its something different.

Anyway,

does any one know if you can buy replacement 'Hella' or 'Piaa' covers and would they fit over my standard 93wrx foglights?????

Thanks

Well as atated in the other thread, these lights are NOT fog lights, they are driving lights and are only used with main beam, and to be honest they are well worth the price of £250 i think!!

U can get the covers from PIAA UK - OFFICIAL DISTRIBUTOR OF PIAA LIGHTS & BULBS for around £8-10. This is the link to the correct lamps:

PIAA LAMPS

Dont think the PIAA covers would fit over the standard subaru fog lights though!!

If u think the PIAA driving lights are to expensive, here are a cheaper set from company 'Performance Subaru' in Northern Ireland, which im sure would be equally as good, and half the price:

As above, the PIAA lights aren't fogs, and whether they would be a waste depends on how much driving you do on country roads in the dark They are pretty awesome backing up main beam, trust me.

I don't think PIAA covers would fit your OE foglights, for a start, the foglights are handed, so the faces follow the curve of the bumper, (look, andf you'll see what I mean).

This would mean that even if you COULD get the PIAA covers to go over the fogs, AND get them secured so that they don't come off first time you use the car, they would point outwards slightly and maybe look odd

Finally, DON'T buy that set from Ireland. It uses Hella lights. Not that Hella lights aren't good, but the method of mounting in THAT kit is poor: It allows the lights to vibrate, giving a strobe effect, and setting up has to be done by guess work, since they have to be unmounted from the car to alter the setting
