Grither Posted November 23, 2014 Share Posted November 23, 2014 ^^^ Agreed. It took a min to disconnect the cable. Shortly after below picture was taken, I got rid of the orange corner lights as well. No one has them besides cars in N. America. http://i43.photobucket.com/albums/e391/tgunal/Mobile%20Uploads/20141014_183209_zpskimhontt.jpg I haven't looked but how did you remove the orange corner?

CT2015Legacy Posted November 23, 2014 Share Posted November 23, 2014 I haven't looked but how did you remove the orange corner? The bulb or the reflector? Sent from my iPhone 6 using Tapatalk Follow me on Instagram @CT2015Legacy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grither Posted November 23, 2014 Share Posted November 23, 2014 Ah good point. I interpreted that as he removed the reflector, but he may have just meant the bulb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TTG Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 Ah good point. I interpreted that as he removed the reflector, but he may have just meant the bulb. I just took the bulbs off. I might put a smoke colored film over the orange reflectors at one point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
im2c0ol Posted November 24, 2014 Author Share Posted November 24, 2014 Pull the bulbs seem to be a good idea, it helps reduce heat to the headlight. As I pull the bulbs I see the bulb holder and got a hint of yellow from the bulb heat. 16' Legacy Mods: 55w HID + XB35 5500k, LEDS upgrades, XB Type T Fog, 20mm SB.

TTG Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 They heat up there for sure. I did this on my 2012 and reinstalled them prior to trading it back in. I really don't care too much for the orange up front. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grither Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 These are still just standard LED bulbs so they only have one setting. Essentially you are just driving with the High Beams on all the time. I'm still just waiting for someone to release a dual power level LED setup.

im2c0ol Posted December 9, 2014 Author Share Posted December 9, 2014 Right... The video is very misleading where they didn't state that until you read the feed back comments and people still give it 5/5 rating which is wack! 16' Legacy Mods: 55w HID + XB35 5500k, LEDS upgrades, XB Type T Fog, 20mm SB.

im2c0ol Posted December 23, 2014 Author Share Posted December 23, 2014 DRL connect as requested: IMG_2608 by im2c0ol, on Flickr IMG_2614 by im2c0ol, on Flickr This is how I leave mine disconnect, put a blue painter tape on to keep it from falling out, this way you don't get crap built up in the connectors. IMG_2620 by im2c0ol, on Flickr measurement came out on both green/blue wire with put in gears. IMG_2617 by im2c0ol, on Flickr there's no load detected when in park, sorta strange that both green/blue is hot when in gear, not sure which wire the resistor box cut the load down. 16' Legacy Mods: 55w HID + XB35 5500k, LEDS upgrades, XB Type T Fog, 20mm SB.

GTEASER Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 Subaru wires things a little different, they tend to use switched grounds, versus switched leads, so that would explain why it's hot all the time and not just when the car is in gear. There is probably another open ground on that harness and when the car is put in drive, it becomes closed, allowing the power to flow to the lights. It's important to keep this in mind whenever working on Subaru wiring.

Gappu Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 I know it has been mentioned that the top white connector need not be removed, but since my hands are big and cannot twist around that much in the small space - any clue how I could remove the top white connector ? Tried to press the small tab on it underneath and pull it out, but it did not budge. Thanks... really looking forward to disable the yellow DRL !

Guest rayms69 Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 (edited) i used a thin flathead to pop off the connector that parallel to the ground, took 15 seconds Edited February 1, 2015 by rayms69 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EaglesPDX Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 (edited) I was successfully disable mine today! First time Subaru owner, and I hate the 3800k high beam DRL running on low voltage halogen color ruining the beauty new C LED DRL I'm missing a step. I'm told the C LED lights only come on when headlights or parking lights are on. I know they also come on just by themselves when car is started remotely with lights off. I get the disabling of the high beam DRL. How did you get the C LED to come on by itself as the DRL? Edited February 1, 2015 by EaglesPDX Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schlitzngiggles Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 I don't get how this works either. I pulled the plug but the C LED lights don't come on when the lights are switched to Auto. The C LED lights only come on when the lights are switched on or the parking lights are switched on. Before pulling the plug, the C LED lights never came on with the DRL. Am I missing something?

Before pulling the plug, the C LED lights never came on with the DRL. Am I missing something? Other reason I don't want to mess with it is the DRL's going off when the turn signal is on so the turn signal is more noticeable with the DRL washing it out. That's a nice safety feature I don't want to lose. So we have to convince Im2cOol that he has to have CLED as the DRL without losing the turn signal DRL auto shutoff feature. He does all the work. I print it out and give it to the local shop to make it happen. Edited March 1, 2015 by EaglesPDX Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CT2015Legacy Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 Someone's gotta come up with something at some point. I know Prolightz has a kit out for the 15' WRX unfortunately it won't work with out cars as we have 3 wires and the WRX only has 2.
