I need to replace 1 foglight and 1 head light on my 03 WRX. I've done some research, and these have ended up costing me a lot more than I originally thought. I would like to hear some opinions on some aftermarket Headlights and Foglights, or some credible sites to buy these things.

In addition, I'm on the look for a front and back bumper. Would it be best for me to buy one that comes from some of the body kit websites that pop up, or perhaps contact a salvage yard? I'd prefer saving money, but if I can find, or if any of you know of some great bumpers that I could put on my vehicle that could be worth the extra dollars.

My personal reccomendation is to call around to pick apart yards and see if you can get one from a totaled WRX. Usually a few minutes of polishing compound can bring them back to factory clear. Last time I picked up a pick apart headlight I think I paid about $80. As far as aftermarket DEPO headlights are pretty solid and you can usually get them for about $200 per headlamp assembly. as for the fog lamps I would say pick apart first and If you cant find them at a local pick yard there are some online pick apart yards that will do the work for you for a fee of course.
