Ive been getting really sick of the amber side markers. im thinking about buying the cf ones or clear ones. Anyone know how to install them?

do you have a GC or a GD/GB impreza?

He's got a bugeye.

The sidemarkers are remarkably easy to install. The ambers just pop out, you just have to be careful not to scratch the paint.
The carbon fiber ones are adhesive. You may have a problem with inspection since they are not reflective, and no longer act as turn signals.
The clear ones are turn signals, but they do not have the orange reflector so you may have the same inspection problem.

That said, I have had the carbon fiber ones on my car for three or four inspections and was OK.

i have no worries with inspection. the dont blink when my turn signals are on. since ive never done it would you be willing to help, money, food whatever would be involved

just a tip, i bought real cheap one's (clear corners for my bugeye) off ebay, and the fit and finish was horrible, i trashed em and put my ambers back on. as for cf one's, well i had them too, but got tired of them. my next step is to buy some nightshades spray tint, and just tint the ambers. if you need help, i can lend a hand, its a simple install.
