replacing the outer colored plastic of tail light
Some how our rear blinker got bashed in. I can replace the bulb no problem, but my question is, does the entire light cluster need to be replaced, or can I pop off the colored plastic (red/yellow/white) combo covering and just replace that?
Edit: 98 2.2L impreza wagon

Re: replacing the outer colored plastic of tail light
You should be able to pop off the clear covering, you may need to use a hairdryer or similar to get the glue to soften so you can separate the housing, but it should be doable.

Re: replacing the outer colored plastic of tail light
But the taillight assemblies are only sold as sets...? Even if you get the amber part out, what with you replace it with?
They're like $130 each from the dealer. Also, wagons have different taillights than the sedans and coupes, so don't try and mix and match. If you can find a wagon owner that upgraded to the red/clear tails, you may be able to get it for cheap... |

Re: replacing the outer colored plastic of tail light
Jay, he asked about replacing the whole section (red/clear/amber), not just one little piece.

Re: replacing the outer colored plastic of tail light
Have you looked on eBay? They usually have some good ones on for cheap!
