    Both headlights went out exact same time

    in Fourth Generation Legacy (2005 - 2009)

    Posted

    Is the only way to check if the bulbs are bad is to buy new ones and swap them in? I remember replacing both maybe like 2 years ago because 1 side went out so that's why I don't think it's the bulbs. My DRL's still work but in the video I was talking about the guy said the DRL module went bad and that's what he replaced. My car is a 06 outback ll bean but same chassis as a legacy

    Both headlights went out exact same time

    Hi I recently took a trip to Zion last week and the morning we left I realized my headlights weren't working and they were working 1-2 days before. I find it highly unlikely both bulbs went out at the same time. So I checked both fuses inside the cabin one for the left and right headlamps and both are good not blown. My high beams and fogs still work, it's just my low beams. I came  across a YouTube video with a guy with the same problem and he swapped the DRL module under the dash and it solved his issues. So I swapped mine from a junker at the junkyard and it didn't work either. Maybe I got a defective one as it was in AZ where the heat destroys electronics. What do you think it is? I REALLY don't wanna pay a shop to diagnose this and would like to solve it on my own. Any help is appreciated!!!

    EZ30r gauge reading questions

    in Fourth Generation Legacy (2005 - 2009)

    I finally got around to installing the oil temp and oil pressure gauge on my ez30r and was wondering what I should be keeping an eye out for on the gauges to make sure everything is in working order. The temp is in Celsius and the pressure is in kPa. Any help is appreciated! This is what I'm seeing currently warmed up at idle6de5339d73712a2b6d6c100d1628f794.jpg

    Defi Triple Gauge pack installed but need help with wiring

    Update I got them working, I'm not sure if this was my problem all along but when I connected the red, orange, and black wiring to the fuse taps (red, orange) and black to the ground using the supplied connectors by defi the connector never actually pierced the jacket of the wire to make a connection. So I had to open up the connector and strip back the jacket on all the wires and it worked! I used the ground in the engine bay next to the fuse box and battery too.

     

    Since everything is wired right now but the sensors aren't hooked up yet. Is it normal for the gauges to move up and down a little bit since they're wired up but not connected in the engine bay yet and not actually reading anything yet?

    What did you end up doing for a ground? The metal you found behind the radio may not be suitable. Either tap into factory wiring for a ground or find a good spot on the tunnel, footwell, etc.

    The last picture is where I put the ground wire. It's a nut behind the brake pedal. Is that a good spot?

    You can tap into the radio harness, I tapped into the fuse box because I didn't feel like removing the radio stereo trim.

     

    Here is the pinout for the radio harness

    Your wires will go to the following

    Orange (illum+) : 1

    Red (12v constant) : 10

    Black (Ground) : 11

    White (12v with ign on) : 14

     

    Ground can tap into most screws that go into metal. Use a multimeter and set to ohm. Touch a piece of bare metal and the screw you want to use. Closer to 0 is better.

     

     

    That's what I was going to do but the shop that installed my sound system already tapped into it and I didn't wanna tap into again and mess something up

    Check the direction of the tap on the upper right, it matters which way its installed (wire up or wire down). Yours is down and mine is up... I think one of us has it wrong (it could be me).

     

    Edit - In the correct direction power for each circuit goes through its own fuse. In the wrong direction power for both circuits goes through original fuse and could overload it.

     

    If yours is right let me know so I can flip mine :)

     

    If I remember right every other row in the fuse box required the tap to be installed in the other direction, ie The 1st, 3ed and 5th row the tap wire goes up, 2ed and 4th row the wire goes down.

    Well I tried every orientation I can think of and still no power getting to the gauges. Is there something obvious that I'm not seeing? 🥲 I checked all 4 fuses and none are blown.
