Cheapest sti gc8 tail lights
 

Hi, I'm thinking of upgrading to sti tail lights to suit the look of my car (all the indicators etc have been replaced with white).

Subaru genuine parts have them for about $250 aus + shipping and japanese wholesale have a set for $300 + postage.

Is there any compatibility issues with getting them shipped from America? Or should I pay a little more and get from Aus (JWS). I know either way they are made in Japan. If there's a cheaper way let me know, any help will be appreciated thankyou :)

I bought mine from JWS. I think they were around the $300 mark, but they're genuine, I was able to look at them before I purchased them, and Fats and the boys at JWS are reasonable guys and do the right thing by pretty much everyone, so why not do the same back.

My 2c.

You've obviously never paid freight from the States.

I have, but nothing that big, just realised its like $150US shipping LOL! JWS seems like the best place afterall.

+1 on JWS, if they don't have any then there are a couple of
new and used GENUINE sets on eBay at the moment for just
$229 at "BUY IT NOW".

Check out this sellers ones as they say they are genuine and
come in genuine Subaru boxing: CARS R US AUSTRALIA

There is however a lot of copies/fakes but they all do the same
thing, just don't pay genuine prices for copies.

Hope this helps.

^^ cant put a price on that, plus if you have any issues with them its going to be a lot easy to sort it out with a local retailer then an overseas one.

That would be PERFECT if it weren't for a major flaw. The item on ebay you showed me is for the RIGHT side only, not the pair. El oh el. Seemed a little too cheap, I bet lots of people miss this and go "wtf!?" when they receive one light.

Was at JWS yesterday, had about 4 or 5 pairs sitting on the shelf.

Ah!!!! sneaky sneaky!!!

Yeah just go see Fats and the boys at JWS, they will sort you out.

I see them pop up on [url=http://www.rexnet.com.au/forum/index.php][b][color=blue]Rexnet[/color][/b][/url] and [url=http://www.wrx.com.au/forum][b][color=blue]Impreza WRX Club Inc.[/color][/b][/url] occasionally for $200-$250, there seems to a more consistent supply over east than in WA. :(
