Perfect with my Ocean Blue paint.

Same bulb fits the euro and USA socket?

The long euro lenses come with a euro socket I guess so the old US socket needs to be used I guess.

Yes, or else the lights will not function properly.

My body shop does these for me. They staple the gaskets to the bumper. I am going down there later today and I will ask them houw they did it to make sure and re-post the answer.

I was incorrect they do satple the gasket as well as glue it. They also said it is a bit tricky to get it lined uop correctly on the bumper. Hope this helps.

Thanks. I hope to have it back from the body shop next week. They are friends of mine for over 20 years and they take their time and do it right. It's a little of a PITA to see a Subaru WRX with the whole right side ripped out come and go while mine is still there. Oh well life happens.

That's all good and well but I am paying them as always in cash. Plus I give them all my business not just a one shot wonder like the other cars. Just venting I wouldn't have anyone else do the work. Superior job from a top flight body shop 60 years in the business.

The car is comming along great Mike! I can understand seeing other cars come and go before
yours is out of the shop. Mine has been there over 6 weeks now. As of yesterday, the shop called
and said they are having problems with the new paint flacking over the old one so they have to
chemically remove all the paint and start over so I think my car is going to be in there quite a bit
longer! Good luck with yours!
