Expensive, but I'm super impressed with my Toyo GARIT KX tires. We get a lot of snow up here and these tires perform really good in deep snow, slush, wet roads and even ice while being studless. Their Microbit technology (basically crushed up walnut shells) in the rubber give them really good bite when it's slick too. I was swayed because they are a performance snow tire with stiffer sidewalls than some other offerings, which is nice to not have the car feel like a marshmallow on dry roads and trips around the NW.
All seasons are a gimmick if you get much weather, they are a jack of all trades and master of none. My Motivos are considered an all season and they BLOW in the snow and ice.

How would the temp gauge be displaying temp if the car wiring has that as an MPG gauge?

I love swapping back to summer setup!

What do you guys have stamped on yours?

SAE AHRI4PP2Y2 06 DOT VOL HB3 Litek SR044 SR041
Same as yours. I picked mine up second hand but brand new off eBay for $150 and had to swap the plugs off my OEM light harness onto these. It wasn't too hard, but did have me discouraged at first. Running the wiring for the projector motors was pretty easy and I used a BRZ switch that popped right into my switch panel.

Could be that our fronts are a bit different on the fitment, but they will fit with very little work.
As for wiring the u-bars as DRLs, it would likely involve splicing the factory DRL wires off the resistor and connecting them to the u-bar wiring. I've thought about giving it a go, but I probably won't be taking my front bumper off again anytime soon. Maybe one day when I decide to add side marker lights to these since there isn't one, which is kind of bogus.

Thank you very much for the feedback Unsp0kn. What do you mean by massage the metal part? Are you saying to force them in somehow?? Did you put them in already? I would like to see some pictures
I've had them in since last summer. I bent the metal a bit with a mallet, couple whacks and it gave enough room to get the light to fit. I'll get some pics under the hood, this is all I have right now.

So first of all on the picture it shows the hinges on the top of the headlights and when I got it, it didn't come on there so it was lose on from the top. Next thing, there was a ballast that was needed to be removed in order to get the headlights in, no biggy there. Also I was able to get the left hand side (drivers side) in but the right side (passengers side) did not want to go in because the dust cover cap of the high beams were obstructing the metal bar of the frame itself. That being said, I tried pushing them in so that they would close in order for me to put the screws back in but it just didn't work. I didn't want to force them especially because the u-bars were not DRL. It was plug and play but like I said the right side was not fitting nor the u-bars were DRL.
Are the Anzo's the same? Or are those u-bars actually DRL? Please let me know thanks!
They will work, you just have to massage the metal on the passenger side. Trust me, they fit. The u-bars will never be DRL unless you get clever with the wiring. They are parking lights technically. Also those upper mount tabs should be in the boxes with some screws to attach them.
Again, Anzo = Eagle Eyes/Eagle Eyes = Anzo. Exact same lights coming from the same factory.
-
lzlegacy12, the links you posted (Amazon & protuninglab) seem to be the cheaper knockoffs not made by Anzo. Maybe they are identical, maybe not; I can't confirm. I'd like to think the genuine ones I spent a few hundred more on would be superior
Thanks for the recommendation on the clips - those are the exact ones I bought!
Will have pictures up this weekend - if not Saturday night then definitely sometime Sunday.
If they are Eagle Eyes then they are the exact same lights as the Anzo.
-
I have the Crystal Eyes as some call them and they are LHD. I had to rewire them to fit USDM plugs and make my own harness for the leveling system. Love them!

It's too much for any road car, but if people wanna be stared at and made fun of, that's their decision. I'm all for do what you want, but that doesn't mean I won't say something about it being just about the most pointless look-at-me mod possible.
-
I think the wings are disgusting but that's why we all have our own cars and can do what we wish to them. I've done pointless mods, but the big wang gang takes the cake for pointless and wanting attention.

Nice, may have to give this a go!

A Subie in the snow sounds like fun. too bad it is a rare event here.
It is fun, I love driving to work in a good blizzard or after one. Fresh tracks!

Haven't had the pop on stock struts yet, it's pointing towards something with my coilovers. Further investigation is needed.
-
You're running coilovers with stock tophats, correct?
Yep, it just started happening this summer, didn't happen at all last year. I'm back on stock struts and springs for winter, we will see if it does it again.
-
Mine popped a few times this summer, but only when backing up and turning left. Maybe the steering rack binding up?

If it wasn't shot on an iPhone! I posted up a rolling shot for the calendar.

Trunk Release Button (in car) not working?
in Fifth Generation Legacy (2010 - 2014 )
Posted
It's so you can lock the valet key out of your trunk area. That key won't work on the glove box or trunk lid.
Nice gravedig.
