Yes they will pop out - I got colour coded blue ones to replace them on my old Bug, my new one has the carbon ones fitted - quite an easy job to do

Are you on about the diamond shape ones? They should just pop out when you compress the retaining clips.

To connect you would probably have to run a line from your sidelights - and get a suitable bulb holder for your marker - not sure what colour bulb you need though, yellow or white

As for the MOT I think they were put there for another Countries market USA I think - someone would prob know on here.

I've never had the Bulb style ones.

Si.

The body colour ones I had were from TSL - not sure if they are trading anymore, back in 2003.

The carbon ones are from scoobyworld, bout £35. I am sure I have seen plain carbon ones somewhere - the ones I have, have a pink Sti logo on the bottom edge.

I have had no MOT issues with them blanked off.

My bug wing markers are just frosted white and do not light up at all (see avatar pic on left). There is an indicator on the wing though that's different. Are you refering to the marker near the headlight or the indicator?

yep, just been out to look at my car and they are frosted, not clear like the links I posted.

When I get home tomorrow (work away during week) I'll sift through my car's history to see if I can find a receipt. Bear with me

Right, just gone through my service history and the only thing that it could be is...

White Ind Set - £75, Supplied by the Subaru dealer in the original bill of sale.

I've got all the original sales & accessories brochures and they are in there.
Part Numbers are;
J1010FE500 : White side indicator lens set
J1010FE501 : White front side marker set
