You make her hide in a seperate car??? You asshat, Roadhead FTW!!!!!

Yes sir I will do that tonight -10 for my dumb ass not taking before and after pictures (sorry)

Yup it is, that was one of the bulbs that had gone in mine, so I couldnt tell at night which button I was trying to push

Aww shit, congrats on the good showing at the 25 Hours of Thunderhill in the STI

yo dipshit thats what its supposed to be now hush up and stop picking on him about his wife!

Oh noes not another GT crash!!!!

God damnnit konrad, fix your post those are the pics, he has a lovely wife

Alright who was in the Silver 2.5i with the Mass plates on Sunday around 12:45 pm on rt 89 heading towards Stowe? You passed me on 89 (I wont mention speed) and then I blew past you (again we wont mention speed). You turned off 89 on exit 10 along with me and followed for a while....

No prob it was a PITA to figure it out myself and since there were a coupla people that had asked in the past I figured it was time for a writeup. Coming up next will be the foglight/ rear defroster switches and how to change the bulbs in them and what not. And hopefully a coilover install this summer to replace my busted ass struts

its like a .zip file

Spanks for fixoring now MDTurbo has to fixor

Spanky thats what its supposed to be, its just under an alias

Thanks alot axis!

No prob buddy I had to figure it out myself, so I figured why not help others. Good luck

Yea the damn thing is an Auto, not by my choice though. There are no pics of me because I dont need no photochops of me and yea, please sticky this mods

10. Now we finally get to the bulbs in the unit, these bulbs only need about a 1/4 turn at most to free them from the unit. They should turn easily with your fingernail, or the tip of a flathead screwdriver, be gentile, you dont want to damage the electronics. The pic below shows you the location of the bulbs along with how much the back of the unit will separate from the front of the unit. http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y272/Aczwild/DSC00898.jpg 11. Remove, replace and screw back together. You can now reconnect this to the car, you are done with the lights in the Heater control. WHEN YOU RECONNECT THE HEATER CABLE, MAKE SURE THE SLIDER IS ALL THE WAY TO THE LEFT SO THE CABLE IS IN THE RIGHT PLACE. THE CABLE SHOULD LOOK LIKE THE PICTURE IN STEP 7 BEFORE YOU PUSH THAT RETAINING RING BACK IN. To get that retaining ring back in I used a pair of regular pliers to push it back in. It needs to hold the black plasice sheath in place. Now for the Hazard switch I dont have any pictures, but I can walk you through it. 12. On the Plastic cover with the Hazard switch in it, unclip the vents and remove. Unscrew the two screws that hold the hazard switch in and take that out. The silvery heat cover is basically a sticker and can be peeled off the side of the switch to reveal the bulb, remove, replace and congrats, you're all set. Put everything back together and reconnect the battery. The lights should be all set to go. Stay tuned, in a week or so, I'm gonna replace a couple lights in the switches on the dash (ie. the rear window heater and any others that are blown)

6. You have to disconnect the heater control now from the wiring, so you have to release the following harnesses, shown below from the back of the unit http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y272/Aczwild/DSC00893.jpg 7. Now flip over the unit and remove the following E-type retaining rings. If you accidentally loose them, its ok, I told you above what the sizes were, so you'll have some replacements on hand, I lost these 3 times and had to run out to the Hardware store to get more. The cable will then be able to disconnect from the Control Unit and you can remove it from your car and go inside out of the cold to do the rest of the work. http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y272/Aczwild/DSC00899.jpg 8. Now when you are inside and warm, unscrew the following two screws from the bottom of the Control Unit and remove the slider knob from the front side. The knob should just jiggle off with a little force, just dont go crazy. After the two screws are removed, undo the two clips infront of where the screws were. http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y272/Aczwild/DSC00895.jpg 9. Now flip over the Unit and undo the clips. READ THIS AND HEED MY WARNING! THE BACK OF THE CONTROL UNIT WILL ONLY PULL OUT ABOUT A 1/4" DUE TO THE WIRING INSIDE THE CONTROL UNIT. BE VERY CAREFUL WHEN YOU PULL THIS OUT AND WHEN IT GETS TO ITS EXTENT, DO NOT REEF ON IT, YOU DONT WANT TO BREAK THIS!!! http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y272/Aczwild/DSC00896.jpg

Well here it is, this is how you change those worn out lights on the older Legacys. Its relatively easy and painless and wont cost you much, like it would if you had a dealer do it. At the present moment I dont have the part numbers for the bulbs, but any Subaru Parts Dept should be able to tell you/ get you them. These bulbs are Subaru Specific, you wont be able to find them at an autoparts store. There are three bulbs that I know of that are part of the control unit and one in the Hazard switch.With that said, lets begin shall we? What you'll need: Philips head screwdriver (magnetized prefreably) Bulbs from Subaru Dealer Needle Nose Pliers Regular Pliers A few 5/16" and 3/16" E-Type Retaining rings beacuse like me, you'll probably drop them and loose them Small box to put the screws and retaining rings in Cold drink of your choice1. Disconnect the damn battery, you dont want to short anything else out, now do you? 2. Alright here we go, hop into your car and remove the cup holder as shown below. I'm sure you all know how to do this, I'm just being thorough. http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y272/Aczwild/DSC00902.jpg 3. Next remove the two screws on where the cupholder used to be as shown below and take out the metal tray that held the cup holders http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y272/Aczwild/DSC00901.jpg 4. Now its time to get a little frisky with the car. First did you Disconnect the battery? If you didnt do it now, you dont want to short out any more lights, or anything else. Whenever you mess with anything electrical on your car you should disconnect the battery. Alright, back on track. Remove the plastic faceplate that surrounds the controls and then disconnect the hazard switch, shown below http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y272/Aczwild/DSC00890.jpg http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y272/Aczwild/DSC00891.jpg 5. Next unscrew these 4 screws to loosen the Heater Control Unit, this is where the magnetized screwdriver comes in handy, you dont want to lose these. http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y272/Aczwild/DSC00892.jpg

Man I gotta get down near you guys to get spotted by someone. I mean its not like you could miss this biatch

^^^^ Someone got a little bored today, nice post though!

Middlebury, VT around 8:15 pm, Red Garnet GT Wagon, looked to be lowered with maine plates "ROSEBUD" I swear I have seen your ass here before.

I forgot that there is also a good deal of Baja's up here. I dont think I have ever seen one outside VT...

Yeah Subarus are everywhere up here. Every 5th car is usually a Subaru. The most popular one is the Outback, then the older Legacy L, then the older Legacy L wagon, the new Legacy Wagon, and so on and so forth. GT's are still semi scarce, usually I only see 1 or 2 a day.
