hawkeye tail light swap for blobeye tail lights
If i am correct the 05 blobeye rear tail lights are a straight swap for the lexus type hawkeye rear lights. If someone local wants to try this swap on my driveway i would be interested (chelmsford) essex. I am a bit of a loss how the reversing light /fog light set up will work but i am already tiring of look of the lexus lights so if someone is selling a set of blobeye rears or fancies a swap drop me a pm

I have a set of lights for sale
Not sure if they are the ones you are after.
If you are going from 3 bulb to 4 bulb(or visa versa) then you need the new bulb hanger, they have these at japperformance.co.uk.

Yes the hawk/blob rear lights are plug and play 
i have done this myself going from blob to hawk rears 
just make sure that whatever rear lights you get come with the bulb harness

Hmmm, and I take it it should be a straight fit onto a WRX..
Anyone able to get me a part number for that bumper, was thinking of having an 05> STI on fitted with arch extensions (don't ask
..lol) but TBH I prefer that one..
Agree about it looking better, the blobeye lights just look smoother, less fussy..

I saw a guy the other day at trax with a hawkeye who had managed to either buy or do himself 'smoked hawkeye' rear lights and although they were on a black car they did look very good. Almost made me want them back!!!
dont think it would look so good on a wr blue car though
