Why no foglights on the 04/05 STi's?

Just curious why they have the cover plates with STi emblem but no fogs underneath. Anyone have any wisdom on that? I think some fogs would be nice.

 

They never came with them from the factory unless the car was ordered that way. Subaru sells the kit for them, as they are prewired. You just need the new bezels, and the lights/relay, and switch.

 

foglights were an option, but you can't use the covers with the fogs, it is either/or. Which makes them not really covers I suppose.

 

^^ Correct.

 

Unless you have a Bugeye!!!!! :-D

 

which isnt an 04/05 sti either. lol

 

Really i didnt know that :roll:

 

hey, you were the one that posted it.

 

they add weight.

 

^ I though the STi was already heavier any way.

 

It is, but the light kit doesn't weigh very much. I would know.

 

All sti's came with no foglights- even the older versions.

 

Oh I know it is just two small fog lights, maybe 5-10 with the whole kit Brian?

 

Is that all?

 

Maybe even less. The fog lamps are small, although they have Glass lenses. They still don't weigh much. Eat less fast food, and you can counter-act that weight gain from the fogs in less than a week... LOL

 

are the fog kits that you can buy/order for the STi, similar to the ones that come on a regular 04/05 Rex...the little round ones...about golf ball size? rather than the big ones on the bug eye models?

 

whats the 1% ? the wheels?

 

cool... I might have to get a pair when I find a tree that grows money...and/or make more money. haha. I imagine the SPT website should have some, or I can order through the dealership...

 

stickers, wings, and scoops. lol

 

but those can all move over.

 

Check out the Morries threads! Brooklyn Park and Minnetonka both offer members of MNSubaru a club discount... Might be the cheaper route.

Look at the top two threads... :biggthumpup:

I don't think that BP is doing that anymore, but I could be wrong?

 

I'm not sure either. Brett and Kevin may still offer the discount. You'd have to call them.

 

but I think burnsville just jumped on the discount wagon.

 

good point about the HID's. I will check out the discounts, thanks. I almost took a job at BP Subaru. Everything went to the final stages, but ultimately they were not able to guarantee the accommodation of my school schedule---one night a week. Oh well...

Thanks for the tips.

 

IIRC The JDM 04/05 fog lights are larger than the usdm ones. I think they would be about softball sized compared to golf ball sized. just something to think about.

 

How much modifying? Did you ever use them, or just decide it wasn't worth messing with and boxed them? I've been interested in getting the bigger lights, the small ones don't do much.

 

i've got a spare set of '05 WRX fogs with blue fog-hole covers if anybody wants them, for money.

 

You have to take out about a 4 piece on each end of the bumper beam. Or you could just buy the JDM bumper beam, lots of money though.
