    Headlight Upgrades - NON VENDOR UPDATE THREAD

    in Cosmetic/Electronic

    Posted

    are the prices "shipped" price?

     

     

    I've been having issues with my HID kits all through the 7 years ownership of my car mainly due to wiring (rusted connectors) problem. I've changed out to 3 different HID kits but none would last me more than 2 years. Strongly thinking about TRS retrofit.

     

    And I'm tired of opening up the headlights so this time I'm just thinking to have the following from you:

     

    Set of 06+ Headlight

    Cleared Corners

    TRS Retrofit

    LED Halo

     

    Get a set from IDRVSLO. You won't be disappointed, and I've had a few sets of HIDs and TRS is BY FAR the best quality.

     

    IDRVSLO/Illuminous Designs FTW!!!

    Dual HVAC Double Din Kit: Completed Install Thread

    in Interior/Audio

    Posted · Edited by mr.hicksta

    Car:

    -2008 Legacy GT Limited 5MT (Bang the link in my sig block!!!)

     

    Factory electronics:

    -All removed, but had the OEM 6 Disc Changer integrated with HVAC (Subaru = t3h fail for that crap) and stock speakers.

     

    Parts used:

    - 07+ JDM Twin HVAC Double Din adapter and JDM hazard switch (JDM part #H6217AG912 from avoJDM Parts) *Color matched to shifter surround at local body shop

    - SVX.dc adapters

    - Pioneer AVIC-X930BT

     

    Comments:

    First I want to give a HUGE shoutout to SVX.dc and Dwolson2. This can be a rather daunting undertaking and with the information they've both provided the install has gone much smoother. The biggest issue my friend and I had was finding the time to do everything. Running the cables was a breeze since I removed all the seats. I ran power through the opening right behind the glove box, which was actually a nice clean run. Sound deadening was only applied to the trunk, but I may go back eventually and do the doors. I'm not sure if the controller module is different (Kenwood) in the JDM kit I have, but the HVAC display was the same brightness as all the other items in my car. It also dimmed correctly so I'm wondering if the dimming issue is fixed in the 07+ version.

     

    PICS!!!

    Look at this thread: http://legacygt.com/forums/showthread.php/official-dual-hvac-double-din-jdm-kit-thread-113589.html

     

    And then go to http://www.ae64.com and it lays out what harnesses you need.

    How much money did you really put into your legacy?

    I'll post more after I get done with some training I have to attend, but I wanted to get one up to show my progress.

     

    Here's what's installed so far:

    Of course there's the miscellaneous stuff:

     

    Momo shift knob

    Redline hood struts (will be installed later)
