Help Please - Bugeye Rear Lights

[psigeek]

I've been bombarding everyone with questions today. I've posted this on scoobynet but know there are a few with bugeyes on here too. Can anyone help please?

Hi all,

I've been trying to find the differences between Bugeye rear lights. I have a JDM STI and unfortunately I need to replace one of the rears due to a small accident. I have been offered some UK lights but I really need to know if they are different at all.

So do they look different from the outside? Are they different on the inside?

I'm looking to put this question to bed once and for all. Below is the rear of my car with its standard rear JDM STI lights on. Perhaps it will help someone to point out any differences.

Thank you to anyone that can assist :D

I have a type uk and the only difference i can see is my fog light is the bottom middle rather than using one of the reverse lights.I'm 90% sure thats how they are,i would check but it's pouring rain outside.Can check tomorrow if dry.

Tommo if you could I'll buy you a beer if we ever meet. Maybe even a packet of crisps. If that is true, then I'd have two reversing lights again which would be great.

I got a wrx bug eye and my for is in one of the red ones as the sides are twin filament with the brakes.

Cheers Martin. Does that mean you have a rear fog on both sides or just the offside?

It does cheers Matty I think I've got it now! UK lights will be alright for me as a replacement. Give me my two reversing lights back!

Oh yes

You'll need to check the wiring loom on the new ones as your wiring will still have a reversing light as a fog light if you know what i mean...

Yup I know. All the wiring is present, just that someone cut off the external fog light before I bought it. I failed MOT and then had a reverse light converted to the fog so it passed. Be nice to have it all in the cluster with no bumper cutting and two reverse lights again. The light up the rear a lot at night!
