  1. I just did conversion. THE USUAL DISCLAIMER: This is NOT a Subaru recommended modification. You are doing this to your own car. Just because I did it, you may still screw up. YOU assume ALL liability for any results. If you can do that, by all means, proceed, and enjoy your cool, new Legacy switchback DRL/Turn signals! I wanted a fully reversible install, so used the following Dielectric grease in all sockets and joints, to prevent corosion (I live in PHX area, so not a real issue) (don't over-do it) resistor (need to solder pigtail to leads. this one worked on my car. You may need a 12 OHM, instead) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07SPC8CKK/ref=cm_sw_em_r_mt_dp_U_NbL7Eb2737W13 7440 pigtail plug (Use care to match the black lead of the 7440 pigtail to the minus lead of the stock 7440 turn signal socket) https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B081WV6LD2/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o08_s02?ie=UTF8&psc=1 7443 pigtail socket (trim off the small key nubs on the socket to fit into the stock 7440 turn signal housing) https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07NM9NDTB/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o07_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 LED Amber/white switchback (carefully install in the pigtail socket. It is snug. wiggle a bit, DON'T FORCE IT) https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07YF7ZL92/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 ON THE TEST BENCH: Remove the rubber seal from the stock 7440 connector, and place on the modified (see above) 7440 pigtail socket. Test the LED to identify the GROUND, AMBER, AND WHITE leads by carefully plugging into the 7443 pigtail socket, and using jumpers to apply 12VDC to the socket leads. Connect the 7443 GROUND lead to the BLACK lead of the 7440 pigtail plug. Connect the 7443 AMBER lead to the SIGNAL lead of the 7440 pigtail plug. Connect the 25 OHM (or 12 OHM, your choice (6 OHM gets HOT!!!, and is not necessary)) from the pigtail GROUND lead, and the pigtail SIGNAL lead, and seal up. AT THE CAR: CAREFULLY plug the 7440 pigtail into the stock 7440 signal socket (DON'T FORCE IT). Be sure to match the 7440 pigtail BLACK lead to the stock 7440 GROUND side. Connect the remaining 7443 lead to a wire and route it safely to the driver's side of the car. Connect it to the appropriate DRL lead on the DRL socket (driver's side, straight down behind headlight pod). You can use a blade terminal, or trim one leg from a forked (bifurcated) crimp on terminal, and it will plug right into the DRL socket. (be sure to use dielectric grease) TEST THE SIGNAL NOW!!! CAREFULLY twist the modified 7443 socket into the signal pod. Have an assistant help you prove all functionality. ENJOY your new bling! (pix, video to follow) (I'm still trying to figure out how to share videos) Testing the assembly under the hood. https://1drv.ms/v/s!ArU5yu8N09QNg4Vju_BG9xu_1Yk3Ag https://1drv.ms/v/s!ArU5yu8N09QNg4VkCjaSj-82Y4EpYg Installed results https://1drv.ms/v/s!ArU5yu8N09QNg4YoybV5xDtZz0ko1A
