Adding fog lights to 93 Impreza

[ionic]

I've had my 93 Impreza for seven years, and the headlights have always been annoyingly dim. The lenses are glass and have not yellowed like the Legacies' do, so that's not the problem. I'm using the standard bulbs. I'm not really interested in using higher wattage and potentially melting wiring harnesses, nor do I want to blind oncoming drivers. I'd just like to be able to see better on the road. I think the lights were really just an anemic design from the start.

 

I've thought about adding the OEM Subaru fog lights to the car for extra light (I do drive in fog frequently) because I prefer the OEM look built-in to the bumper. I definitely want the OEM switch on the interior. I know there was a kit to add the fogs to a 93-96 Impreza, but I don't think it's available anymore. Anyone have any suggestions for where to get one or alternatives? I'm not really looking to spend more than $200.

 

Thanks.

Ive been thinking of doing that too. The area of the front bumper where the fog lights would go looks easy to cut out. I live out by the mountains where there's very little light, so theyd be useful.

I was told by the local dealer that the kit was discontinued, but I didn't have the part number. They still had the kit for the 97-01 available. Checked this part number on subaruparts.com, and they list it as available for $156.81. Do you know this is definitely the 93-96 kit, or is this the 97-01 kit?

 

I actually like the look of the 97+ fogs better. Will they fit in my bumper cutouts?

 

Thanks!

I installed the kit on my '95, so the number is correct. It may be discontinued by the manufacturer but probably still in inventory. The dealer should even be able to tell you who has it, if not them. But try the discount places first, in any case. The kit for 1997-2001 will not fit. The cutouts and the brackets are both different.
