Tail lights

Which one do you like better?

I'm deciding whether or not to change my rear tail lights if I go with a STI rear bumper. Since I'll have to source some rear tail lights as well that just makes things more complicated on the cash flow. I could always just keep my stock ones and fill the holes on the STI bumper before painting them.

Definitely 04/05, i think the taillights from Subaru are $300 or so? Can you confirm this, Shaggy?

I might be biased but I think the 04/05 taillights are the best out of the 3 styles...

Personally (biased) I like the 04/05s, the 06/07s are a little to bling for me. Hey Jon, I take it that is why we had the discussion about the rear bumpers at autocross yesterday.
