for a 95 WRX with working bulbs? Both the yellow and green ones in mine went within a couple of days of each other. Don't think it would fail an MOT coz the fogs have been converted to driving lights. Just nice to have it working, but not at dealer prices

Cheers,

Gus

Question

Can you get the bulbs out? If so, try an electronics dealer for new ones.
You could also try model shops which sell 12V "Grain of Wheat" bulbs, and even smaller "Grain of Rice" (Suitable for a Jap car: ) bulbs for model railway layouts. They come with wire tails about 6 inches long, and are about £1.50 for 10.

Cheers, I'll try that. The bulbs do come out but they are attached to a little black plastic nasty bit, don't know if this comes away from the bulb though.

Take the bulb and the plastic bit to a Subaru Dealer and they will give you the correct bulbs ( mines did not work either when I bought it )
There is a choice of about 8 on the system so you will need the original to compare.

Thumbs up

No, not really. Some Scoob bits are OK, I remember doing my skirts, (well, the car's t really: ), body colour, and I bust some clips. Replacements were readily available,nad dirt cheap.
