gotwww Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 did you ever get an answer on this? Any way to leave the switch in "Auto" and get the C LED to come on? 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
im2c0ol Posted March 26, 2015 Author Share Posted March 26, 2015 The C-Led only comes on with the low beam on if in auto mode. But it'll comes on if you put in park/city light mode. 16' Legacy Mods: 55w HID + XB35 5500k, LEDS upgrades, XB Type T Fog, 20mm SB.

I just ordered the WRX LIMITED / 2015 STI DRL HARNESS FOR BOOMERANG (C-LIGHT) from SUBISPEED - this version is for the LED C-LIGHT and from what I can see should work the same on the Legacy.

I don't believe that'll work but I guess we shall see. Prolightz offers something like this however the WRX/STI DRL harness has 2 wires where as the Legacy has 3. Look forward to seeing what you find. Follow me on Instagram @CT2015Legacy Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you refer me to your link. The subispeed.com link you posted is for the base & premium WRX but they now have a different one for the WRX LIMITED & STI which has the LED C-LIGHT similar to ours (taps into the pins on the light harness rather than replacing the LED like the origional harness does).

SubieN8 Posted July 5, 2015 Share Posted July 5, 2015 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 however it's not really bright and visible when the sun still out. Tools: your hand time: 3minutes It's located on the driver side right under the headlight. Remove the HL main plug to gain access Carefully press and remove the plug. You're done! Better yet! you can now swap those bulbs out with these OLM HP LED High Beam / DRL Bulbs - 2015 WRX / 2015 STI Install video: Read more: http://www.subispeed.com/2015-subaru-wrx/lighting/olm-hp-led-high-beam-drl-bulbs-2015-wrx-2015-sti-4643.html#.VIZwXTHF_fI#ixzz3LMxiLqSp http://www.subispeed.com/2015-subaru-wrx/lighting/olm-hp-led-high-beam-drl-bulbs-2015-wrx-2015-sti-4643.html#.VIZwXTHF_fI I wish this had worked for me. I pulled that specific plug and it disabled the entire driver side headlight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
larry80 Posted July 6, 2015 Share Posted July 6, 2015 Did you pull the one behind it? or the first one only? The first one is just to gain access to the second. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SubieN8 Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 I removed the first one to gain access to the second, then fiddled with the second one for about 5 minutes to get it unplugged. Once unplugged, I turned the car on and the entire driver side headlight was non functional. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SubieN8 Posted July 15, 2015 Share Posted July 15, 2015 I wonder if disabling the DRLs would be frowned upon in the insurance industry... If I disable mine and I get into an accident, they find the DRLs disabled, would that cause an issue... ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subisnob Posted July 15, 2015 Share Posted July 15, 2015 I wonder if disabling the DRLs would be frowned upon in the insurance industry... If I disable mine and I get into an accident, they find the DRLs disabled, would that cause an issue... ? If they determined that it could have helped the situation then yes, not for pay out but for retaining you as a customer They would basically drop you and back charge you for the savings they gave you for that safety feature. You could call them up and state you no longer have DRL if you are really worried about it. It's probably a difference of $6/mo or something. I disabled mine. Don't really care either way. I've diabled all of my prior GM model ABS brakes because they were overly sensitive for my aggressive behavior but never got into a major accident for them to verify. You would have to get into a fatal or near fatal accident for them to check for that type of stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paradox Posted July 15, 2015 Share Posted July 15, 2015 And if it was a severe enough accident, you can always claim that the impact or force knocked it loose or out and that you don't even know what a headlight clip is or what DRL is!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Max Capacity Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 Just went out and looked at our new Outback 3.6R. I found the relay and plug in front of the battery. I just need to get a small screwdriver to un-clip the HL connector from its bracket so I can disconnect it and then reach down and un-do the DRL. 305,600miles 5/2012 ej257 short block, 8/2011 installed VF52 turbo, @20.8psi, 280whp, 300ftlbs.

icen Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 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. Anyone know where I can find harness that would have plugs/sockets that matches with the connection to the DRL? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
im2c0ol Posted January 27, 2016 Author Share Posted January 27, 2016 (edited) My DRL resolution! 7443 switch back, these ACME 800lm led has a little delay.

im2c0ol Posted January 27, 2016 Author Share Posted January 27, 2016 (edited) The same way you operate the C Led. I don't ever use automode, it a bit lagging for me. So i turn it on and off when its needed. I leave the switch on city light, with the 7443 bulb adaptor you'll need a few crimps and dremel the 7443 bulb holder to fit in the 7440 housing. http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/16/01/27/636ffc401beb9dd0c7cb8ccb95b28bc6.jpg Edited January 27, 2016 by im2c0ol 16' Legacy Mods: 55w HID + XB35 5500k, LEDS upgrades, XB Type T Fog, 20mm SB.

stavi Posted March 11, 2016 Share Posted March 11, 2016 Not sure if anyone has thought of this, but how about rigging up halo's in the fogs as DRLS by using the unplugged DRL harness for power. I would imagine they would easily make enough light to run as DRLs, and the power would be sufficient as the harnness has no problem powering H11s.

hkshooter Posted March 11, 2016 Share Posted March 11, 2016 I've only read a couple of pages of this thread so forgive me if the answer is in here somewhere but why disconnect the DRLs? I saw the OP complain about color but is there more? They seem like a nice feature to me. A forum dedicated to my last car also had numerous DIY threads on disabling the DRLs and also being able to use the fogs with the high beams, which I can understand. I never understood why everyone disabled the DRLs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
