Jay762 Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 Wotcha and welcome Pete, some great examples there I have got to get some fog light surrounds for mine - more for daylight running lights not fog though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scooby Pete Posted April 15, 2013 Author Share Posted April 15, 2013 Thanks for the Kind words. Unfortunatly the Classics is no more :( Crank shaft oil seal let go, replaced the engine myself, that was a job and a half!! Never got it running 100% and decided to cut my losses. It went to South East Impreza's and got stripped of all the goodies. All Ive done the the HB sofar is Clear fog light and a new head unit.

Jay762 Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 Did you replace the bulb or paint it for the clear unit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scooby Pete Posted April 17, 2013 Author Share Posted April 17, 2013 Did you replace the bulb or paint it for the clear unit? I bought a 7440/7443 Red LED bulb from eBay. Just plugs in to the existing bulb holder. only cost £5 http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/7443-7440-T20-13-SMD-5050-Red-Stop-Tail-Brake-Signal-13-LED-Car-Light-Bulb-Lamp-/271106943068?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&hash=item3f1f3ba85c#ht_3739wt_904 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gambit Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 Funny enough just been looking at getting a set like these for the side lights the old bulbs look dull :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scooby Pete Posted April 17, 2013 Author Share Posted April 17, 2013 Funny enough just been looking at getting a set like these for the side lights the old bulbs look dull :) Yeah I was thinking of Sidelights in White but I think the law says that the have to be a warmer (orangey) type of white for sidelights. Maybe making that up???? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gambit Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 No your right they did change the M.O.T rules by the F@£$ing EU (Does it show I don't like them?) :) they can now be to bright or to blue it will fail. But its down to the M.O.T tester on the day I guess. Like having the magic tree hanging from your rear view mirror. I will risk it I think if they say anything just swap them back over. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scooby Pete Posted April 17, 2013 Author Share Posted April 17, 2013 Yeah depends on the MOT tester. Last time on the classic he couldn't get the fog loght to work as he couldnt find the switch. Still passed it though. I do hate that I have yellow sides and white headlights. Think I'm convinving yself to swap out for LED's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gambit Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 Do it before and after pictures though ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
