STI rear light clusters are a popular choice

: Subaru Impreza Genuine STI Rear Lights

but they aren't cheap.

Don't know of any STI copies, pretty sure they are all genuine parts, thats why they make the money (and 'cos they look the best)!!

STI lights all the way, maybe expensive but well worth the ££ IMHO

I have looked for my wagon, and there is bugger all choice. There is one chrome lex-**** look one, a black version of the same, and the STi ones... tbh, save up and get the STi ones... far nicer...

I removed the drivers side reverse light, and fitted a red fog in it's place. Went through the MOT fine, you only need one fog/reverse light.

I just got a red size 380 bulb off ebay. make sure it's a brake/fog and not a normal tail light. You can get led ones too. Has to be red, as the reverse lens is clear.

Trouble is, left and right lights would be different then, which i think would look odd.
