A little off topic, but my girlfriend is looking to put leather in her '10 Forrester XT. Are the leather kits on Ebay any good? Anyone know of some good Forrester leather seats for sale? (sorry for the slight hijack)

High Intensity Discharge I think. Should have read all of the thread ... glad your lights are working better now. Those Silver Stars ROCK. I'm still going HID, though ...

Does unplugging the DRLs dim the lowbeam headlights at night? My lights are very dim for some reason

 

When I unplugged my '08 I thought my high beams were a little dimmer then usual ... so I pulled just the wire out of the harness and replaced the plug, which seemed to fix it. Maybe that will fix your issue?

(edit - this is for 2005 and 2006 models only)

 

This walkthrough shows you exactly where everything is, and also how to remove fasteners and parts without breaking anything.

 

Green arrows, DRL module

Red arrows, panel attachments

 

1. Lower the panel above the pedals

 

1. There are three plastic attachments for the lower panel. For the two in each side, turn counterclockwise 90 degrees, and the screw head part will pop out, now you can grab it by hand and pull it out completey.
   
2. The middle attachment you must use firm pressure on to pull it out.
   

2. You will see the DRL module on the firewall with a white and black connector. If you can read the green sticker on the top it will say "DRL" on it.

3. Pull the white connector out only, secure it so it does not rattle, perhaps with a zip-tie as shown

4. Put the panel back.

1. Just push the middle attachment back in
   
2. With the "screw head" part of the black attachments extended, push it into the two holes on the sides. Then push the screw head in to lock it into place.
   

Another '08 with a clean front end. THANKS!! They were driving me crazy. The only thing I could tell that was disconnected with the white plug was the High Beam indicator light. I pulled the blue wire and plugged it back in, though.

 

Thanks again.
