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.

Hope it helps.

Are you getting a new Legacy or are you leaving us??

 

He bought a VW Scirocco R.

Has anyone installed the C lamps themselves? I opened the headlight housings on my '05 a few times, wasn't difficult at all, just worried about the wiring, are they plug and play?

 

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.

Can these photos be reuploaded? I'm going to do a morimoto install tomorrow! :spin:

 

done

Nice set! did it come with tires and tpms or did you use your existing ones?

Let's keep it going in the spirit of Memorial Day weekend and just a regular Sunday in general

Next Challange: Your legacy next to a cold one (beer) in a driveway, parking lot, garage, parking spot, etc. Pictures of you drinking and driving are not allowed.

I don't think anybody here has yet so you will be the first to.

I like the purple one.

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!

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)

Diver Side Harness (red/yellow is hot)

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.

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.

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.

Bump

 

Post them up people!

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.

Freight from Japan is around $90.00 so save alot.

Does anyone know if this will fit the legacy? Or just the WRX/STI?

Won't fit. This is the one you need. https://www.japanparts.com/parts/detail/45953

I'd highly recommend getting the Morimoto fogs then (or a similar LED fog with complete housing). $170 through Amazon and their output is awesome.

 

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

Big brother and sister.

Thank you for all you contributed. Hope you can still stick around and share a occasionally post or comnent. Enjoy your new ride and good luck!

It'll just be tire being slightly out of shape until it warms up. You could try setting the pressures up by 3-4psi just to test the theory. No harm in trying.

 

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

I like those tips a lot. Your car looks very pristine and the mirror finish on the paint is insane especially with black since it shows every imperfection.

Check to see if the clip that holds the bumper in came off. It is in the wheel well where the bumper tucks in. That will be my first guess.

Are those the OEM exhaust tips? They look different.
