That's the JDM style grille and you can buy it from JapanParts or SMY Performance. The red trim is pinstripe tape. See video below. -

Car looking great as always. The drop is more noticeable from the FB pictures you posted. This one is a little too dark to see, and I have the screen brightness all the way up. Nice buses. -

This link below will give you some of the info, including link to other threads that might help. I did not install mine so I can't help you there, but I know they are not just plug and play. There are some level of wiring required but it isn't very hard from what I heard. http://legacygt.com/forums/showthread.php/new-c-lights-diode-dynamics-just-released-259704.html?t=259704&highlight=lights -

leolfds replied to andrew_l_s's topic in Sixth Generation Legacy (2015 -2019 )
The light does look a bit purplish but looks good. It look very bright and could be a little annoying (for me) driving with them on. I would definitely look look into tapping the power wire from maps/dome light source so they can turn off. Good job on the mod! -

unbeliveable. Which dealership was that? That's a safety risk but glad it all worked out and the car is back to working order. -

Chances of being tire related is probably very low if all tires are of the same kind with even thread wear. Do you have your alignment results that you can post? -

What goose said... at least 5 evenly spread coats, 45mins of dry time between coats, then 10-12hrs dry time before putting it back on the car. -

The only challenge with installing the fogs with the bumper off is leveling them. I had to stand the bumper on wood blocks, then disconnect the harness, lean the bumper forward and make adjustments. Took a few pictures last night of the fog harness and the housing installed for future references... Passenger Side Harness... (blue/yellow is hot) http://i45.photobucket.com/albums/f63/prowler82/Subaru%20Legacy/1_zpsxrxibqc1.jpg Diver Side Harness (red/yellow is hot) http://i45.photobucket.com/albums/f63/prowler82/Subaru%20Legacy/2_zpsrewftukf.jpg Match the polarity on Morimoto's harness (red is hot / black is ground) to the car's harness. Before seating the prongs to the connector first plug them directly to the car's fog harness to make sure the fogs turn on. Once you check that, just seat the morimoto prongs in the provided connector plug. Make sure the prongs are inserted the right orientation and matching polarity to the car's fog harness. Removing the prongs from the connector after they are seated is a PITA. Below is how it looks completed with the polarities matched. http://i45.photobucket.com/albums/f63/prowler82/Subaru%20Legacy/3_zpsngpuwuce.jpg The oem fogs are held in by a screw and a push clip. Remove those and the oem fogs will slide out. Then when you mount the Morimoto's to the bumper will notice that only one of the holes on the outside bracket will line up with the bumper's mounting holes. That is ok and i only used the original screw secure the fog to the bumper and not the push clip. "The_Grey_Goose" did the the same to his and they are still on and holding up nicely. fyi... you don't need to use the screws that come with the Morimoto fogs. you can set those aside. http://i45.photobucket.com/albums/f63/prowler82/Subaru%20Legacy/4_zpsfjegpgcw.jpg http://i45.photobucket.com/albums/f63/prowler82/Subaru%20Legacy/5_zpsabfihfwh.jpg http://i45.photobucket.com/albums/f63/prowler82/Subaru%20Legacy/IMG_0692_zpsp9lkpane.jpg Plug everything in and turn the lights on and make sure everything turns on. Now is a good time to check if the fogs are leveled. You can do this with the bumper off or on. I chose to do it with the bumper off. I leveled it off the floor (at height) on wood blocks and turned the metal screw on the morimoto housing to adjust them up or down as necessary. Clockwise will raise and counter clockwise will lower the the light. -

You are correct. The front end corner covers underneath the car come off by removing a few push clips but you will need to either jack the front end up or roll it on ramps to give enough ground clearance. I was doing other mods that required the bumper off. -

I will second that. I just put my Morimoto's in yesterday and what a difference. It is considerably noticeable. Installation is also super easy. The hardest part I think was taking the bumper off lol. I wouldn't mess with HID in the fogs but I would imagine the output would be similar. Keep it simple -

6th Gen Legacy Wheel Thread
leolfds replied to tigger73's topic in Sixth Generation Legacy (2015 -2019 )
I had the installer match mount the wheels and tires (wasn't done before) because the road force readings came under 20lbs, but the wheel originally reading 19lbs then was reading 27lbs after match mounting. Tire Rack replaced that tire under warranty and now it is at 9lbs. It smoothed out the ride quite a bit but still not as smooth as I would like but definitely better than before. I might be asking for too much. It seems these tires ride better once the pressure increases a bit after a few minutes of driving. I am going to take your advice and still raise pressures by 3 to 4 psi and see what it does. Below is my current setup and according to Tire Rack within specs. I tried to get them to change the 17lbs wheel as well but they would not. FL - 06lbs / FR - 12lbs RL- 17lbs / RR - 09lbs -

Thanks Tigger73. I was poking around on NASIOC and read someone recommending inflating them to 40 psi cold. Also been doing some reading on Road Force Balance trying to get better educated after getting my results and debating making a third trip to the installer. I read that 10 and under is ideal but under 26 is acceptable. It seems they only measured and did not rotate tire on rim. Below were my readings. LF - 16 RF - 17 LR - 19 RR - 6
