how did you get your corner lights to work with your foglights? bcuz mine dont do that.

There was a thread on here from 2007 that went into great great great detail about installing HID's into the foglights:

Its a great writeup that goes into incredible detail, but its a little too busy for me (and no pictures).

 

I think it can be explained in a more simple fashion.

 

So here's mine...

 

If you're trying HID's in the fogs, chances are you've already mastered the HID's in the headlights. Headlights were simple.... the only thing that was altered was that gray "dust cap." Well the fogs are similar, but they have a black "dust cap" that needs a little more modification. The headlights can easily be put back to stock halogen, whereas the fogs WILL NOT be able to return to stock.

 

What you will be modifying:

1. the black plastic fog light dust cap with plug

2. the short OEM fog light harness with white plug and gray plug

 

Those two things are all you would need to return to stock, so even if you did want to go back it would be as easy as getting new dust caps and short harnesses.

 

 

 

Lets begin..

I removed the front bumper to get to everything easier. This makes accessing the foglights and mounting ballasts much much easier.

 

Take that short wire harness that was connected to the black cap and hack the gray plug off.

 

Take the black plastic dust caps and cut the plug part off of it, leaving you with a nice opening. I used a drill, pliers, and the sidewalk (as sandpaper) to do this. I'm sure you have the proper tools, i.e. a dremel. Get the opening to be about the size of the back of the cap... see pics below.

Take the HID power wires out of the rubber grommet and cut the connectors off of it (as shown in the bottom right of the pic above)

 

Solder the hacked HID power wires to the short OEM harness that has the white plug (red to red, black to black)

 

Pull the HID wires and grommet through the hole in the black dust cap. Seal the grommet using silicone sealant or whatever. Also put some sealant in the holes in the grommet where the red and black power wires once were.

 

 

All this should yield you the following:

Pretty self explanatory from here...

H3 HID bulbs go in factoy fog light housing,

put on black dust cap,

connect HID to ballast to factory plug,

mount ballasts,

put bumper back on,

enjoy!

 

 

note: plugs are all different, so they will only plug into exactly where they are supposed to go!! easy!!

 

 

oh and if you mess something up, its not my fault... mine work perfectly

 

This seems a lot more complicated than it actually is. Once you get the H3 HID kit and open the box, everything will make more sense.

 

Thanks to Jeremy at Crucial Racing for the HID's!

hey could you post your pictures of your process up again?

o really?...peteys ^ intake fell apart he said. but you didnt have any problems wit yours?

and what kind of problems did you have wit your AP?

One of the guys at Fred Beans Subaru told me that the H&R Sport spring kit is somewhat comparable to the Eibach Pro Kit (and, thus, the MSI spring kit).

 

If that's what you're referring to, anyway.

o ok but do they still have a nice aggressive look and a pretty good ride?

ok now im still pretty sprung on some tein s techs but now i need some input on wut other ppl think about wut other springs are good for a niice agressive slammed look but also a pretty good comfortable ride. im deciding on either teins ralliteks eibachs or if i can find any cobbs

inputs please!!!

I've never ridden on Tein S-Tech's myself, but most that have are not fans of the abusive ride and feedback. Just search this forum for Tein S-Tech and you'll see that there are many negative reviews.

o man really...thats too bad

Ok, update on the Cobb springs . . . now having over 1500 miles on them the ride has become more harsh now that they've settled in. The stance looks simply phenomenal, however, decent bumps/pot holes freakin hurt. I've definitely bottomed out the front end a couple times. With that said, in my personal opinion: if you don't mind having to dodge/slow down for bumps+holes and you do lots of meets/shows, go Cobb . . . if you want a more liveable DD, I suggest Eibach's.

 

Edit: The car has now had 225/45-17 Bridgestone RE960AS's on for 5,000 miles and the ride is MUCH smoother has never bottomed out once! Love these tires!

 

Here's a good pic of the final stance:

hmmmmm...im kinda at a crossroads for springs. At first i was thinking about gettin tein s-techs but now im thinkin of cobbs and i think cobbs are a lil cheaper depending on where u get them but do u hav input on wut you think on teins??

would 02 struts from an 02 legacy fit an 05 legacy gt?

anyone kno???????
