Deer Killer

so what is the nature of the problem? timing being pulled? open -> closed loop transfer? any clues?

So no real need to do #5?

 

I don't mind not having fogs and Hi beams at the same time!

 

Thanks DK!

Is this correct as I'm doing it today.

Dear Killer, thanks so much for this, I had done that on my RS and was looking for this for the Wagon.

 

One question though, can you clarify this (see below , in bold..)

Why do people ask COBB about economy map? Something is missing...

Deer Killer -

 

I just don't want to use your pics without your consent. I'm too lazy to break out the camera this coming weekend when I do that part of the mod

Go ahead..

Sounds good to me. May I add your step to my site (proper credit of course)?

What are 2 wires are you connecting together at the switch harness when you do the last part of the mod? (I assume one is the ground source)

 

Does the fog on/off switch still work after this?

 

Except for that step it's identical to the steps I've already posted.

It's what's on the other pole of the fog switch, switched ground. Now body ground.

Yes, everything works.

This mod will enable you to keep you fogs on with your high beams and use your fogs with your parking lights only. This walkthrough shows the wiring points only, not the dissassembly, or how to do your wiring. Standard disclaimer applies, you may break your car at your own risk.

1. First pic - overview, shows three locations you need to modify. From left to right: Blue connector from the mirror control/wiper heater assembly. Fog relay/relay assembly. Left stalk connector.

2. Second pic rear of relay assembly. With the relay assembly pulled out, cut the blue/white wire, secure the loose end from the car, and tap into the blue/white wire coming from the relay assembly.

3. Third/fourth pic. Find the violet wire on the blue connector, and attach your tap from step two here. Instead, you may also wire your tap into constant on or ACC, if you don't like your parking lights being on to have your fogs on.

4. Fifth pic. When looking the the front most part of the connector you will see a white/red and a black/black wire on the the same edge. Splice these two together, without severing either. (Careful, as there is another black/black on the other side which I did not check to see what it was)

You guys totally disgust me.

DRL's save LIVES....Proven.

 

They make you more visible to pedestrians and other motorists....Proven.

 

As a person who works along side roadways, I can personally vouch for DRL's effectiveness FIRST HAND. There have been several times where if the oncoming vehicle wouldn't have had DRL's, you wouldn't be reading this post from me!

 

End rant.

As a person who drives along roadways, I can personally vouch for DRL's peril. there have been several times when other vehicles have been invisible. Light emitting object against a light emitting background. Like that one time I looked both ways, zero cars, pulled out, and a black jetta with DRL's almost rear ended me. Now that I realize there is actually a car there, still very hard to make out with the sunset behind the car with it's lights on.

The army has done experiments with camouflaging equipment in the daytime with an array of lamps aimed at the enemy, which works astonishingly well.

So if by proven you mean not proven and by visible you mean invisible, you are right sir.

I tried to do it myself but I was unable to unplug it. How do you do it ? Do you actually just pull it ? There is no screw driver to be used...no little snap-on harness to worry about ? Is it as simple as just pulling the white connector out ? Please help ?

VSC OFF button.

VDC?

You have to order the OE rear windshield, the motor assembly and wiring from Subaru of Japan to make it work for the car. Expect to pay about $700 to $1000 just for that fitment.

 

Keefe

Or a diamond tipped-hole cutter.

btw, aren't there junk yards in japan? There have got to be some good wrecks to take parts off.

I probably wouldn't use the power folding mirror alot, but now i really want it...hey subaru, i got an idea, give the top of the line car ALL the options, that way the buyers won't feel like they're gettin jipped.

Hey Deer Killer, what is that button in the 1st pic #2961? It is directly under the L/R mirror knob....and is depressed. And what is the dial to the right of the knob with the numbers?

How come I dont have this cool stuff!
