  1. Original battery died today and I took some of the forums advice and installed it in about 15 minutes. Cut the shield and taped it to the front of the battery, 800cca's and a 42 month exchange warranty. $84.99 plus tax and it starts faster than it was new.
  2. After calling customer support I emailed my receipts and Subaru followed through and is sending me a check. Thanks for posting about the extended windshield warranty.
  3. I was just made aware of the extended warranty on my 2015 Legacy windshield. I had it done over a year ago. I was able to find my receipt and my credit card statement for the amount. I will try calling Subaru support and see if I have any luck.
  4. I wonder if our systems could be updated to what they are offering now. Check this out. http://www.autoblog.com/2017/01/06/subaru-starlink-infotainment-update-2017/
  5. I'd like to sell the 2 Vettes I have and get a new one. The Legacy has hooked me on Subaru for the travel car.
  6. This is the eBay website:http://www.ebay.com/itm/301664643255?_trksid=p2060353.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT They seem to be working fine, but for the price the ones that andrewsl_s found seem to be a good source. Lets put it this way, at the low price all of these come in at it would behove us to find the highest quality. I must say that since seeing the bulb failure I will keep an eye on mine. So far no indication of heat. 1smd vs. 5smd involves a lot more wiring and soldering.
  7. I just select the songs in a playlist and drag them to a named folder on the drive. I am able to select from song, album, artist, composer, genre ect. Doesn't really take that long to boot up.With the USB drive already selected from a previous start I timed the period it took for all the files to show up so that I can select any song from the 1496 I have on this file and it took 1:38 (98 seconds) timed from my iPhone. I think that is pretty fast!
  8. Finally looked how I did it. Sorry for the delay. I created a folder and copied the playlist to that folder.
  9. http://legacygt.com/forums/picture.php?albumid=2357&pictureid=10875 andrew_l_s I switched to this bulb because of the lower light output (wanted) and the fact that it is recessed and does not need a cover to protect it. Once installed it is almost flush with the panel. As we experiment with this new tech of leds I'm sure we will come across quality control problems.What is interesting from your photo is that the contacts look to be burned. Could the problem be the socket? Not making a good contact, causing it to arch could be the problem. I would check it out. Again I by no means am an expert and would look for any other knowledgable input.
  10. The drive must be formatted Fat32. I was able to copy the playlists from my Macbook to the drive and it works well.
  11. Try reversing the bulb in the socket. Leds are positive/negative specific.
  12. Ok! Post a picture of your legacy next to the lowest price you can find at a gas pump! Or at least the price sign of the station.
  13. http://legacygt.com/forums/picture.php?albumid=2344&pictureid=10802 Another "Blue Light Special" Some of the credit has to go to andrew_l_s because I used his plans for the $10 footwell lights. Bought the cup holder lights on eBay for 4 for $3.69 and the racing pedals again on eBay for $35. All done for less than $50.
  14. Great question but it might depend on changing the power source from the emergency light to the doors switch and I'm not sure you could use both, but I'm not a "Sparky".
  15. Just don't have a girlfriend with big feet! Seriously those leds are a lot tougher than a regular bulb.
  16. If you don't seat the little white clip down properly it won't set right and will not allow the plug to go deep enough in the hazard connector. Slide the clip on from the backside of the plug. Follow the tracks on the side of the connector.
  17. Finished my footwell lighting last night. The bulbs I got are a little bright so I ordered some 1 watt 1 smds to replace them. I told the wife she could now check out her pedicure, at a stop of course!
  18. I'm really eager to get this mod done so this morning I did a dry run (while I was waiting for the parts to arrive) to see how hard it would be for a guy who is 6'3" and 270 lbs. and it really was a snap. A few observations, the lower under dash panels come down easy squeezing the 3 finger tabs at the front of each panel. There is plenty of room to run wires from the vent to both passenger and driver sides. Use a flashlight to find the path. And lastly make sure you snap the white plastic connector cover properly or else you will not be able to set the connector deep enough to make contact with the hazard button to make contact. Looking at the 2016 brochure online and Subaru wants $164 for this option! Thanks again Andrew.
  19. Here is the link for the pigtailed sockets. http://www.ebay.com/itm/311293259517?_trksid=p2060353.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT This is the link where I bought the leds. http://www.ebay.com/itm/111688244123?_trksid=p2060353.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT They are all USA locations.
  20. I really think this is a great Idea, and not to step on Andrew l_s_'s great post, but if you want to save a little time you can find the sockets for the lights on eBay that come with pigtails so you don't have to mess around modifying the socket. They ship from USA!
  21. Got my 20mm rsb installed in about 30 minutes. Going out to dinner down I-96 so we will see if that is the answer (I'm sure it is). Now I have to wait for pin striping and a aluminum foot rest. Seems there is always something! P.S. got it from Quirk Parts in about 4 days for $88 and change including shipping. Works, more stable and firm but not harsh.
