paulc555 Posted April 8, 2006 Posted April 8, 2006 Right folks..... I finally got a set of sti lights for the car after a long search......I have arranged for the local garage to fit these along with my brake pads. Question??? Do you need to remove the bumper to fit sti lamp pods to a bugeye....currently have a dodgy set of prodrive lights fitted...are they just a straight swap over?? []
phil Posted April 8, 2006 Posted April 8, 2006 Different wiring for the Sti !!! Its not just a plug and go I am affraid Has been done but its not straight forward IIRC
paulc555 Posted April 8, 2006 Author Posted April 8, 2006 Oh no Phil I've just spent £250 on these lights....the prodrive ones I that came with the car are flippin left hand drive pods.....I thought I could just take these off and slot the sti ones in....so can i not use them at all....or is it a case of figuring out the wiring.....im not interested in motorised levelling or anything...I just need light...im off to the Circuit of Ireland rally on Thurs and need to see...... HELP[*-)]

bigdavie Posted April 9, 2006 Posted April 9, 2006 as long as they fit and point the right way mate any auto electrician could wire it up for you in no time ! hth
paulc555 Posted April 9, 2006 Author Posted April 9, 2006 I guess I'll just have to wing it then............ thanks anyway........... []
spooks Posted April 9, 2006 Posted April 9, 2006 The wiring for the headlight adjusters are differant, the rest of the plugs will be fine though. No need to remove the bumper, nice and easy to change headlights though. Gimmie a shout if you need any more info, aint done STI lights but may be able to help. Spooks
