Im glad the fuel economy wasn't as bad as you thought, and im sure the gadgets and gizmo's will come into there own.

Having a bug, I often wonder what it must be like to have modern day comfort and technology alongside the power e.t.c. - perhaps one day I will find out.

Yeah I always used to think the same with my WRX

So far just straight swaps, with the replacement full-beams being units with built-in fans for cooling. Not sure how I feel about these as they work really well and are a great improvement but wondered if I should have tried to get a set with passive cooling.

Here's my spreadsheet for reference: https://goo.gl/qXWECq I'll add a shot from the English manual once I pick it up later this week.

They were all sourced from eBay, the same seller I used for the replacements for my WRX apart from the interior bulbs (as I wanted 28mm festoons). If you're aware of any good suppliers this side of the atlantic I'd be interested to see if they do alternatives for the fogs/drls which will actually fit. The problem with the US is that their lights are not the same and vary more depending on on model and spec.
