Bought another wagon in the name of practicality...

TFW you have to remove your bumper to get up a suburban driveway

Hiding my car upstate until my buyer comes to pick her up:

Gonna miss this thing

Wired everything up, including HID foglight bypass. Can run only fogs, fogs + low beams, and fogs + high beams. Love the output!!

Really couldn't get away with being any lower where I live, but it's nice to drive around upstate when I can...

Ditched my scratched / cracked turn signals for some Grampus Eyes that I found on YahooAuctions

it's super tight, I have since lowered the car another 1/2in with very slight rubbing. It does take some camber to fit, I'm running -3.7 front and -3.2 rear

Inspiring me to size up with my tires and pull some more camber

Love the way this looks!

...and NY roads aren't low friendly.

Ain't that the truth!

Finished my face-lift conversion and fell back in love with my wagon again <3

thanks johnny for taking the time to write this up. so does the DRL come on during the day? when i tested mine, the DRL came on with the headlights and i gave up, was too tired to resolve.

I had disabled my DRLs with my old headlights so I didnt bother to wire up for them this time around.

If I May Contribute:

Just wired up my BP9 lights. The sidemarkers are straightforward enough to anyone who would be attempting this. The wiring for the lo/hi beams is a little more complicated.

I used an aftermarket 3 prong male/female harness to make everything tidier. (neglected to take pics, but can provide if someone really needed it)

Wiring for BP9 harness to stock BP5 harness is as follows:

Drivers Side:

BP9 Red to BP5 BlackRed for Power

BP9 Black to BP5 YellowWhite for Low Beam Toggle

(third prong reserved for Hi-Beam toggle, power shared in splice to BP5 BlackRed)

Passenger Side

BP9 Red to BP5 RedGreen for power

BP9 Black to BP5 YellowBlue for Low Beam Toggle

(same mating of hi-beam splice as done on drivers side)

I went straight off the ballast with the HID wiring, but that was just my way of keeping things clean on the back end)

My instructions may only make sense if you're in the middle of actually wiring these things up, so dont be afraid to dig in and then consult these notes LOL

New JDM BP9 front end sits a bit lower than the old stock body did, but luckily the OEM STi front lip has a forgiving rubber skirt to it.

Got my fenders back from paint yesterday and slapped the new front end on. JDM BP9 Touring front end with GENUINE STi Touring front lip. Truth be told, I havent wired up new harnesses for the lights yet and will have to be hacking the bumper up a bit to fit my FMIC in there when the time comes.

(And yes by old JDM BP5 HID headlights will be up for sale soon w. plug and play harnesses)

Really need to detail this thing. Also really need to install the pile of parts laying in my shop. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Tail lights are finally installed! Really like how they look paired with OBP!

Hello there, practical twin! HA!

Been working on the Datsun so damn much lately that I've all but completely neglected the Legacy. To the point where I'm embarrassed TBH. Might stay up on the hoist for a while, because the amount of maintenance + upgrades at hand could not be any longer SMH

Recently picked up a Fujifilm XE2 -- naturally, the first pic I took with it was of my car

Did you have to do anything to make the Kouki tails to fit?

No

The rear 3/4 view of these cars is my absolute favorite:

Ya we know. It's just us with taste have a reason to not really care

Honestly. Why must the same kit for every car make every car look exactly the same right now? If your friends jumped off a bridge, would you jump too? Or maybe more appropriately: if youre friends smoked one flavor vape, would you only smoke that flavor too bro? SMDH
