yes. There is a good thread on iwsti. The 06 wrx headlights are no different than any other head light

Just gotta pry the housing apart and paint the surrounds

^^^ it takes a little testicular fortitude to do it, but the out come is really sweet. ive baked a couple of pairs of lights, and they look a lot better without the reflectors.

lol..I figured that was a given. They WILL crack or not even open if the sealant isnt heated

Oven method is much easier than heat guns, ive tried both

wait, i thought this was for headlights??

err, either way. I traded mine for some 04-05 ones. Direct fit, leave the bulbs in. Just disconnect the harness and swap the hold thing.

Oops, sorry I dont know why assumed the thread was about tail lights the whole time.

Painting the headlights black on a black car looks sick. but i dont have the ***** to do it myself.
