Got some MY03 Tail Lights, they have cleaned up pretty nice with some clear plastic cleaner.
Bit disappointed as the RH one has a tiny crack/hole/chip during transit. I am a bit of a perfectionist and will swap it out with a different one when possible.

Don't think it's repairable.

Test fitted up the MY03 lights, fitment isn't 100% perfect (Probably about 95%) as I'm still running the MY01 rear bar which doesn't have the little grooves for the slightly different shape, but overall not too bad and still an improvement over the old ones.

They do go in fine, plug up no worries and work correctly as you'd expect.

Going to sit on it a while and see how it goes.

Does anyone have a MY03 Right Rear Tail for sale?? I am keen to change out the right one as come winter I think it will get water in it from the above crack. Have emailed Japline etc.



Cheers

One of my favourite bug eye's going around.
Transformation of this wrx has come a long way with tasteful mods and the best part is that the 205 is still going strong.

Thanks for the kind words.

Today i received my second set of tail lights, to replace the RHS one which has a tiny crack in it. The difference is though (i think), the newer ones I just got are MY05, compared to MY03.

Bit hard to find info on this one, but the latest ones I received have an additional bulb in them, on the far right hand side, which i think is a tail light, not brake?

Pictured below for clarity. Was this a standard change or is one set a different country?

Figured it out when I fitted em up. Was a #dumbass moment. The RHS one only has it and it's the rear fog light.

The other set didn't have it which I thought was interesting as all MY01+ have the rear foggy I thought.
