My driver's light is also pretty messed up, so I'm the last resort for a spare. I know Ryan (Soulcrusher) and Phil (dayofpain) have both replaced lights, so they might have spares they'd sell. Also, Khail might have some spare parts, I know he tried to help me out with a bezel after I busted up my headlight.... but I don't know if he's got the pieces you need.

If you can find a single light, instead of paying $300 at the dealership for a single light, I think the Morettes might be a sweet look, here they are semi-painted:

Even unpainted, they're not bad looking.

CC-B is selling them for $600 (they might be cheaper elsewhere, but CC-B is a great vendor, I got my STi lights thru them). I know you just spent a ton on the turbo upgrade, so in the spirit of the holidays, I'd be willing to toss in a few bucks to help you out with the cost. If 5 or 10 of us could donate like $10 to the cause, would that take the edge off buying new lights?

Those lights are CRAP. They are NOTORIOUSLY the WORST lights EVAR for the WRX. There's a reason they're only $100. Imagine strapping a pair of flash-lights to the hood... and not nice Mag lights, but some generic crap ones. Plus, in person they look cheap... and not cheap like APC altezzas... cheaper.

Do not under *any* circumstances buy those lights. Your melted light is already twice a nice.

I've got a spare light off of the racecar. It's been through nearly three seasons of USTCC action. It's been crashed and repaired stronger than the original (see below). The blue tape comes right off. The lens and the rest of the lamp assembly is fine other than typical wear and tear from debris marking up the lens.

Let me know if you want a piece of the original USTCC Subaru WRX racecar on your car...
