Good news. I was able to adjust high beams with the 4mm stud adjuster on the other side. Fyi for eagle eyes lights

Installed headlights, fogs and switch... I didn’t realize the combination stalk was for an outback, so now I have rear wiper motor switch too lol. Maybe I can wire up something cool down the road. -
Got them installed. Install wasn’t easy. Passenger side was giving me trouble bc the housing was bumping up against the upper support. They sure look nice. I’m having trouble adjusting the high beams. The screws don’t do anything. They’re way off and pointing down. Anyone know the trick? I think I need to aim the low beams a tad lower as well. (High beams are the light spots in front of the car) https://i.imgur.com/CoSNuwA.jpg

Nice I think that’s the approach I’ll do. How do you keep the u bars on?

Threads must be made of butter

I would've wrapped the bolt threads with plumbers tape and then some jb weld (or this https://www.amazon.com/MASTERCOOL-90934-Alum-Repair-Epoxy/dp/B00AZJTEAS/ref=asc_df_B00AZJTEAS/?tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=312148135388&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=12975232972507960263&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9011806&hvtargid=pla-526872972600&psc=1). This way you can 'fix' the internal threading once you tighten and let it hardened. -
did you have any issues with the drl using high beam led?
-
Just got my set. Waiting on protection film to come in. Has anyone else added preventative wear and tear protection. Quality looks great but you know... aftermarket plastic. Also the high beams are H1 style, not oe 9005

Has anyone ran LEDs in these yet. Curious on light pattern/ cutoff. My order is coming in next week. I’m looking into LEDs (I’m tired of burnt out hids)

Sorry, I should add, my top hats are fine. In fact they're relatively new and oem. When I took my strut out, you could move the koni insert laterally in the strut and even twist it around by hand (even when the bottom bolt is tighten). upon inspection, the nubs were pretty flat too. I sent concerns over to koni but they said it looked normal. It could've been a one off case, but it happened to both sides a few months apart. Actually, you can see my post here about the whole thing, it was last year lol. https://legacygt.com/forums/showthread.php/did-you-do-your-5th-gen-todayii-v4-267765p121.html

Fyi, I've had this setup for 5+ years using kyb struts. In my experience, the inserts started to rattle 'side to side' because the 3 nubs would flatten out overtime. I think this was because the kyb circumference is just ever slightly too large (but not enough to use the included spacer). So the inserts are snug initially and you wouldn't know until a few years of use. Adding a .41mm brass ribbon as a spacer from Ace hardware fixed that. ...and now I'm chasing another light clunk noise on the right side

bought all this; Mustang led fogs bezels Anzo lookalike headlights working on finding some good led lowbeam bulbs, probably fanless one and some film to protect everything. https://www.ebay.com/itm/284273338353?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2060353.m2749.l2648 https://www.ebay.com/itm/383961408151?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2060353.m2749.l2648 https://www.ebay.com/itm/141794423589?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2060353.m2749.l2648 https://www.ebay.com/itm/131473714337?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2060353.m2749.l2648 -

ibr_adam09 replied to SBT's topic in Fifth Generation Legacy (2010 - 2014 )
Today, I installed Moog inner and outer rods. steering boots were annoying to remove. I used a long thin pry bar to pop the inner worm clamps, then replaced them with screw type. The engine cradle made it hard to easily access. Had to cut off the driver side rod too. I was expecting having to remove a washer and pin like other Subaru forums mentioned, but didn’t have those. Just used the autozone tool to remove the inner rod, worked like a charm. Greased up the boots and sway bar bushings too. Best part, I think the alignment is better than before and I haven’t gone in yet to get it checked. https://i.imgur.com/gD7CP6z.jpg https://i.imgur.com/QGoRkBb.jpg -

It has 143k miles now. 70k of it was in DC area by po. I remember in my last alignment, the tech said he had some trouble with one of the rods. So I think its best to replace it all. If its as bad as they say, then I don't think there's any chance in saving them. From exp. the joints are likely seized too. I'll likely have to destroy it to remove the whole thing with a fork tool. Luckily, alignment is not too off (right toe -0.19), just wanted to be in top shape before I take a upcoming road trip. but also annoyed lol. -

Went to get an alignment check. Couldn’t make adjustments. Rods/ends are frozen Is it best to stick with oem replacements or is aftermarket is fine like Moogs/ autozone brand? Also mentioned the rear essentric bolts are frozen, we have those from factory? (I thought we had non adjustable camber in the back). Camber is -2.2 atm. Bolt recommendation? -
