Is it possible to switch STi headlight reflectors into WRX Housings, and vice-versa?

caterpill · 02-14-2006, 09:04 PM

A friend was going to sell his car, but didn't want to trade me because my headlights are painted, etc. etc.

I was wondering if it was possible to switch only the reflector portion of the housings? Keeping all else the same, I would put the STi reflector assemblies into mine, and mine into his?

I know it's a stretch, but does anyone know if it is possible? Is it mounted differently? Can it fit with simple modification?

Thank You in Advance.

It's a little late, but I wanted to confirm it's possible. A friend of mine did it; you need to swap a few brackets and stuff and I think of course the leveling motors can't be swapped.

Anyhow, the reason why he did it is because he was able to find a set of broken STi lights with the housing cracked and swapped the reflectors n' stuff into his WRX housings.
