corsa Posted January 29, 2005 Posted January 29, 2005 can anybody confirm if the following bulbs are the correct ones . H1 and HB3 for a 2004 WRX STI. I got a good price for PIAA Bulbs so just wanted to check these are the correct ones before i buy them on Sunday ? Calling Squirrell
ANDYJDMSTI Posted January 29, 2005 Posted January 29, 2005 IIRC it is pretty fiddly and involves warming the whole light unit in the oven then prizing it apart to change the bulb, then back into the over to warm it so you can seal it again properly. there should be a thread in either technical or general on how to do it in more depth but that is the jist of it. Bit too much like f***ing around for a bulb change IMO Good luck
Sti-04!! Posted January 29, 2005 Posted January 29, 2005 Andy, You have been in the sun to much Thats for de tango'ing the headlamps Davie, cant help you on the bulbs bit but hope all is well Stephen
ANDYJDMSTI Posted January 29, 2005 Posted January 29, 2005 you are quiet right too stephen. head up me ar$e today
jamie_wood Posted January 29, 2005 Posted January 29, 2005 Indeed!! Here you are Matey Main is the HB3 or 9005 Dip is H1 Fog is H3 Side is 501 Front indicator is 581 Problem solved
keap_scooby2 Posted January 29, 2005 Posted January 29, 2005 check out the following web site: www.powerbulbs.com it should give you the info you need, great service from them as well alan
jamie_wood Posted January 29, 2005 Posted January 29, 2005 Watch out , the Bugeye owners!! Cause they aint the same!! They use H4's . This bulb does both dip and main. No need for two bulbs
corsa Posted January 29, 2005 Author Posted January 29, 2005 Well that seems to have cleared it all up then
wrxmania Posted January 29, 2005 Posted January 29, 2005 Don't I know it Jamie!!! Ordered my bulbs from them, ordered H4's as that was what it said. Waited a few weeks for a chance to fit them then, the usual - moved the battery to get to light one and - oh - the wrong bulbs. So I now have H4's Osram Silver Series - the award winners - in the house - if anyone wants to buy a brand new bargain set of Osrams I will bring them to a meet near you - I will be at the Glasgow, Ayrshire and Edinburgh meets. A bargain £10? The sidelights Davie are a paion as thy are a light cluster out job as the sidelight slot in the casing is actually in the wing area IIRC - you can't get to that bit without removing them. I am sure the manual says "Consult your Subaru Dealer" - DOH! Brian
corsa Posted January 31, 2005 Author Posted January 31, 2005 Yip you are right Brian, main light done but cant get the sidelights,to me it looks like you have to remove the following to change a two bob Bulb,well done subaru 1.Plastic engine undertray. 2.Front Grill. 3.Front Bumper. 4. lights BINGO!!! May try and wee call to the dealer to see if there is a wee hidden pocket somewhere.
john_robertson Posted January 31, 2005 Posted January 31, 2005 Corsa, it isn't quite as bad as you think, the headlight can come by removing the grille then 3 IIRC bolts, all of which can be accessed from the engine bay, try a search on here or the other place for De-tangoing an '03 car. John.
