Stevo F Posted October 19, 2017 Share Posted October 19, 2017 I scored a pair of one piece headlights/ corner lights from a '96 Outback along the rest of the front end, and was wondering if there would be any advantage to replacing the 2 piece lights on my '98 wagon. Also, I noticed the one piece lights use the 9003 headlight bulbs vs. 9007's in the two piece. Any advantage of one style bulb over the other?

Brighton96 Posted October 19, 2017 Share Posted October 19, 2017 No advantages as far as bulbs go, they're both dual filament bulbs and are both equally easy to find replacement bulbs for. The single piece lights just look a lot better in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once you have seen you can't unsee it.

Stevo F Posted October 21, 2017 Author Share Posted October 21, 2017 I actually have no real preference aesthetically, as I think any 2nd gen looks good! It seems like the 1 piece design seems more desirable to most people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
