L7 is from older legacies...it was on certain trim models in japan. Meaning is unclear, some say it's the 7th star in the pleiades constellation (which no longer exists, and is portrayed in the subaru logo), some say it's just L with an upside-down L for legacy and other say it's actually LT for Legacy Turbo. Got my stickers from DocHolladay on the forum.

Anyone who installed a dual exhaust had to have a hanger installed for the right side? I don't have one on mine, wondering how much it would cost.

I think the sub itself is the same across all years but it's the bracket and harness that make it specific for the 5th gen. They also come with extensions for one of the AC ducts and a cap for the other so that you don't get condensation on the sub.

Hrm, that's what my impreza looked like when I got t-boned. No glass broke though, they totalled it because the lady hit me halfway on the rear door and halfway on my 05 LGT wheel. That wheel was barely connected to the car after the accident. My friend at the body shop that did the apraisal said that it was fixable but the car was hit in the torque box so it would probably never drive the same again.

Yeah, airbag deployment usually is a total loss because the airbags are usually so damn expensive.

Oil filters from my 08 2.5i work on my legacy. Also the k&n panel filter worked too Sent from my SGH-T959 using Tapatalk

New wheels finally installed: http://desmond.yfrog.com/Himg620/scaled.php?tn=0&server=620&filename=gntgt.jpg&xsize=640&ysize=640 18'' OZ Prodrive with 225 45 18 Continental ExtremeContact The more I look at it the more it seems like 16'' wheels in there because the wheel well is so big.

I used silicon sealant because I couldn't find my hot glue gun. Holds it in nicely.

You're talking about the top light or cup holder light?

That's what I did but I shaved a bit off the tip of the led to get it to fit against that diffuser Sent from my SGH-T959 using Tapatalk

you reaimed the factory blue light in the map lights?

On with the headlights. The positive wire you can use is the middle of the 3 that go to the maplight and the negative switched is the 2nd from the opposite side on the same row. I'll try to grab a pic of the inside of the map light soon.

the pack I got from checker/o'riley came with 3 for $7. I have the cubby light from my impreza I took out before they took my car to the auction. It seems the hole in the cubby is made for that module itself, but I'll have to fab up a connector to wire it in unless I hack the wiring that came with my footwell lights too just to get the connector. The LED between the map lights came on '10 premium and up. i have base 2.5i. I made a little insert with a dvd case and just drilled a hole for the LED and 2 holes for the screws to hold it in. Had to dremel down nubs on the trim to make it lie flat. I might have to redo it as the LED shines on the arm rest and not the shifter as I think was the intention

Finally got around to doing this mod the other day. It was a little more difficult because I have the acrylic ring so there is less space to mount. I ended up using silicon to hold the LED in the little box and have it aim toward the acrylic ring. I also got around to adding the LED between the map lights. My base model didn't come with this LED. I found a wire that grounds when the headlights are turned on.

Your mods make it look nothing like a japan model.

But the cup holders hold smaller cups. Comparatively in starbucks terms, there are no venti cups in japan. Grande is the largest they got

I think the cup holders are smaller than the US one that's why it is different in the US. That's generally what it's like for JDM vs N/A

Thanks for the clarification. I didn't see crimps or shrink wrap but duct tape on your install so I automatically assumed that you used the tape to connect the LED wires to the harness. Your second install looks better. Just drill a hole in the cubby and throw a switch in there. You could wire other lights to it to make it like the actual kit. There is a hole above the cubby in front of the shifter where another LED goes with the OEM kit. You could also wire CFL or LED in the footwell area to that same switch. The fog switch is in the stalk outside of the US, but in the US, the fog kit comes with a button that goes next to the mirror adjustment knob. Outside of the US it is the mirror folding switch there.

I saw another how to like this on the outback forum. I need to find me some prewired LEDs. Got the ring in my 2010. Without the ring it looks like it could get dirty in there. Did you just cut and twist the wire on to the existing wire...and cover it with duct tape?! FYI, duct tape is EXTREMELY flammable when the adhesive dries. If you want to do it right, get some inline splicers or at least use electrical tape.

clearly, this is not a north american model.
