    new 2007 DRL + HID help!

    in Exterior/Aesthetic

    Posted

    Bumpity.... Would a 08-09 Legacy take a picture of the DRL module for us???

     

    Thanks

     

    Just did my DRL disable. As for pictures, I just finished up and put everything back, but the DRL module looks exactly like TwinkE's pictures; no noticeable differences. The description of how to get there also matches previous descriptions in this thread:

    Under the steering column, 3 popits, two are like, screw in popits, one is a straight up popit. After pulling that panel out (it doesn't come ALL the way out, because of one connector that connects to the panel) if you look up above the clutch, you will see a black box that has a sticker on it labeled:

    "Cont. DRL Module" I think. (Control DRL Module?)

    I think that's what mine said.

    Connected to that black box are two connectors, one white and one black. You will want to pull the black one. Stick a small screwdriver tip into the hook and yank the connector out.

     

    I had a really hard time pushing in the wire pin to get it out the other side, so I ended up cutting it like many others. There just isn't a lot of space in there to do a lot of maneuvering.

     

    Thanks everyone for such an elaborate thread to make this process really easy!!

    Headlights both, low beams dead??

    HID's really don't cost that much... if you look at some of the kits on this website, they will only run you around $50 more than sylvania silverstars or even less if you go for the ULTRA's. And for the longevity that HID's give you versus the silverstars, it is definitely worth it.

     

    Pay $100 for HID's now, have them going strong for a number of years, looking brighter and hotter (hotter is subjective, brighter is not), or replace your bulbs with Silverstars... pay $40, and have them burn out in a year...

    I did something REALLY stupid that I don't care to mention, hahaha.

     

    But I'll tell you that if you do it properly (which isn't that hard.. if I weren't being retarded I would have done it properly and I am a horrible DIYer) you shouldn't have problems. I only get moisture after a car wash where the water sprays up from under the car (this one pressure wash place called Mr. Sparkle did that) and the moisture just went away by itself for a while. No problems whatsoever.

     

    I will be redoing my headlights soon though, it should be much easier the second time when you already know where all the screws are and how to pry it apart and everything. An extra tube of silicon sealant never hurts.

    ^ +1, I didn't know that, either! :)

     

    DarkOblivion - the Sylvania Silverstar turn-signal/markers, which I have in my LGT, present a kind of "ion" effect, when it's daytime and it catches the sun. It's not exactly truly "chromed/silver."

     

    I'm trying a set of chromed Phillips SilverVision from PowerBulbs in the UK, for my wife's '09 Forester (WY21W - aka 7440 - fitment). They should be here within the week. If you're interested in waiting, I'll let you know how the two compare. :)

     

    I was actually thinking about getting the blue tinted ones instead of the silver tinted ones... One caught my eye on a VW one day in a parking lot, I was like, that doesn't look half back.

     

    But definitely, post up some pics when you finish that and lemme see how it looks.

     

    I won't have time to open up my headlights until June probably so you have plenty of time! Trying to redo my angel eyes haha.

    Are the headlights really this bad?

    I think the stock lights are pretty crap. Low beams anyway. I'm not sure what or why it is, but I just never felt like I could see the road well.

     

    Since I put in the HIDs it's like a brand new car. Night visibility isn't just good, it's outstanding. High beams are next to useless.

     

    HID's = win!

     

    As for the high beams being useless, I have a suggestion. As we all know, HID's are a bad idea on high beams, unless you constantly keep them on (in which case, I hate you!)

     

    However, there is an alternative. It was hard to find out about these, but they are called HIR's, high intensity reflectors. They are like halogens in that they have no warmup time unlike HID's.

     

    I put these in my high beams, with 6000K's in my low beams, and lemme tell ya, these bulbs light up the night. Where my projector beams only go up to that line, aligned correctly, these HIR's light up everything you can see in a 180 degree sphere in front of you for really far down the road.

    Very nice... now I have a weird and difficult question...

     

    Does anyone know if there is a integrated circuit board full of LEDs for all the panels in the front? Like let's say... I wanted to replace ALL the red lighting in my car with blue...

     

    HOW difficult would that be??
