Bought new headlights and going to be shipping it out to lightwerkz for full customization since my local body shop sucked. $1100 but price matched the only Subaru retailer...originally quoted $800 per light... Lightwerkz posted your car pic on their Instagram and I had a feeling it was yours since you and me are the only ones with the 3.6RS badges lol. Here is my badge, cleaned up the old glue and polished things up:

2019 Subaru Ascent Mid-sized SUV - True 3-row vehicle
IcEWoLF replied to SBT's topic in Subaru News & Rumors
I’d suggest waiting for next years models, they will work out all the quirks and they will make the car even better. When it’s time to upgrade to the next Legacy I’d want the next version of eyesight, currently being tested only in Japan on the newer levorg and foresters I believe. I believe the new eyesight will have semi-autonomous driving capability. -
Yeah re-opening and closing is a pita...last time I get any shops do it unless it’s lightwerkz, plus they do it in a dust free environment, mine has some dust particles in it, can’t notice it but it’s there. If anything in a year or so I might just get the headlights from them and modded. Overall the turn signals are crazy bright lol.

Okay, this mod was such a PITA, next time I’ll just buy new lights and have it ship it out to a lightwerkz and have them do it, from the outside they look perfect but the driver side light has a little gap, can’t do much about it, I had to have them take it apart 3 times becaus the first time they forgot the plastic part of the turn signal, the 2nd time they scratched the chrome so I had them repaint both headlights black and the third time they didn’t align the c light on the driver side properly, sure is cost me $350 for the install but never again. The install with the LED is a pita since my lights cabling is all inside the stupid light. What a cluster**** I’ll have a friend make sure the driver side light is properly sealed so no moisture can get in, thankfully it’s summer. Washed the car carefully. With that said I’m in love with the mod, just not something I’d recommend anyone doing it, taking apart the lights and going back is a disaster, we used the heat gun method the first time, it didn’t turn out well at all, the 2nd time with oven it was much better but the damage was already done.

A friend of mine was right we were talking about this same very issue last week... I’m going to make sure I have them check mine every oil chance. Yes I have had the car less than 9 months but rather be safe, even with the extended warranty. Subaru needs to fix all these leakage issues with their cars, even their 4th and 5th gen had this issue.

We got the c light installed. My friend did the install, it didn’t turn out perfect, the side marker on the left had less paint so it looked perfect, the one on the right he used a fair amount. Basically the orange side marker shows a bit on the left and on the right it doesn’t. I’m wondering if I can just turn off the side marker light without having to take the headlight off. Next thing is, we weren’t able to figure out how to turn off the oem led light...now both lights are on, it’s not noticeable, but when you use the turn signal the oem one stays on... Any idea how we can get this taken care of without having to open up the headlights? Honestly the taking apart headlight with a heat gun was a major PITA. Overall the lights are super bright, crazy how much difference it makes.

Also ordered the 3.6RS badge from NZ, it’s about $130 with shipping, cheapest I could find since most others asked well over $200. I could have paid about $113 but opted to have tracking so it gives me a piece of mind since it’s an expensive piece. Then I messaged Subaru of NZ to get me the part number for the carbon fiber intake and then see what the pricing would be. Lastly I might order the JDM fog light bezel with the light strip and get a module for it to work as turn signals...

Glad look was able to help you out as well

I’ve been thinking about smoking my headlights but I think I’ll pass on that, I will however look into smoking out the orange reflectors and replace the Subaru c light and get the diode dynamics c light which will have the amber turn signal using the c-ligth. My friend does headlight opening so he should be able to do a good job with it.
