Default Unemployed and Bored

This is what you do when your unemployed and bored. So I put a 97 bumper on my 95 and for some odd reason i had a pair of corner lights from a 94. Looking in my garage I had a set of foglights from I dont know what kind of car. So I sprayed tinted the unknown foglights, got a 9006 wiring harness and bulbs (seem to fit the socket somewhat) and hard wired them into the foglight wires and there you have it. Last night I was working on my park light issue and I stuck the 94 marker lights into the holes for the 97. Ofcourse the dont fit and they arent flush, but when you look at them they look ok. Now for you SC fans you may not like what I have done but what the hell. I havent decided if I am going to wire these as turn signals or park lights. Tell me what you think.

take a clearer picture. i have a vertex (rip off) bumper. maybe putting in an extra pair of lights could fill up those holes that aren't gonna be used.

I'm trying to figure out how to remove the stock radio and check to see if it's unplugged or something.... My radio won't turn on, so I'm curious to know why it's not working... I've already checked the fuses and etc, so I'm thinking and hoping something came unplugged... Plus, my fog lights aren't coming on; I'm guessing the bulbs are blown...

yeah, i removed the intake mani then pulled the entire head off to inspect it.

started today at 9, stopped at about 6. should finish putting everything back on tomorrow some time. I always find my self fixing/upgrading 'unexpected stuff' when i work on my cars (today i deleted my EGR with a block off plate from Titan), so i never even try to give time estimates cause i never keep them, lol.

lets just say i run through various cases of Coronas during it all.

Nandob,

Looks like you made a Subaru Outback out of your SC!! Those are Rally fog lights...
Leave the SC alone and buy a 98-99 Legacy Outback GT. You love that car's look if you like those fogs.
