I've been using the below light bar.  Super bright and no issues seeing anything.

Do you (or anyone) have more information on this, such as the list of non-LED lights to replace, what size bulbs are required, and where to purchase them?

 

Also, correct me if I’m wrong, but the stock puddle lights are yellow non-LED also right? I’d like to have white LED to replace those if anyone has info on that.

 

Thank you!

 

Reverse LEDs are T15. I got these https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B074RFY776/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o07_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

 

Trunk LED and puddles are T10. I went with this for the trunk and subaru projector logos for the puddles.. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B009K6IW00/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o09_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

 

I got an interior LED kit off of ebay for my 2018 and just moved them over. It has the dome, map, trunk, puddle, and vanity mirror lights.

 

Turn signals are amber T20s and I had to tap a resistor into each one.

Why didn’t you just buy the sport trim??

 

Black isn't matte and the window trim is still chrome. Plus this is much cheaper.

Rally Armor mud flaps, speakers/sub, shadow black hyper dipped the rims and anything chrome/silver, emblem overlays, dash cam in the front, LED turn signals, those sick Subaru logos for the puddle lights, replaced any non-LED cabin lights, 18 LED bar in the trunk, and Govee led strips in footwells/under front seats.

 

Waiting on tint, wheel center cap overlays, hood struts, and need to install the rear camera.

 

Open the trunk, remove the two screws next to the taillight, cover pops off then two more screws and the whole taillight comes off to get access to the bulbs.

 

It's kind of like a pickup taillight.

Thanks, I'll give it a shot when I get the car back. That little plastic piece was giving a lot of resistance and I didn't feel like breaking something 5 hours into ownership.

Has any anybody replace their rear turn signal with LEDs? To replace the fronts I needed to remove the battery and the air filter box. Can't seem to find the way to remove the bulb or the whole taillight. And yes, I did install resistors because I don't play the hyper flash game.

 

PS I got the car today and had to have it towed back because the negative terminal connector just wouldn't stay back on the post after I removed it. Terribly designed.

Bought my 2018 Premium in August of 2017. Currently sitting just over 46,500 miles. I'm on my way to 100k.

Where did you get the overlays and how hard were they to install?

 

I did indeed get them from the below link. They were $24 with shipping and came with front, back, and steering wheel. Super easy to install. I'll link the installation guide below too.

Finished the plasti dipping of my rims and trim. Did my best to get a nice two tone. Just missing the tinted windows but my state is horrible with that. I've got the emblem overlays coming in for black with gray stars too.

Here is a link to the install instructions. Looks like it's drilling into the metal below the door. I went with Rally Armor flaps on mine. Look much better and no drilling required.

Excellent job - looks great!

 

Cover the plastichrome fog trim and you'll be golden!

 

 

 

I can't stand the fake chrome trim pieces.

 

I still haven't figured out how I want to tackle the, though.

 

I'm gonna anthracite all my chrome and leave the center of my grille plasti dipped black. I wanna make sure any black layer isn't touching anything besides the gray. Gotta get new emblem overlays too so I can have gloss black background with gray stars.

Plasti dipped the rims in anthracite gray today. Might do a chrome delete with it too.

Black plastidipped the grille and fog light trim on my '18. Also threw on some Rally Armor mud flaps.
