dietztho000 Posted March 29, 2016 Share Posted March 29, 2016 Yeah I did, such an easy install and they are amazing at night and perfect cut off and everything. Im very very happy with them. http://www.subispeed.com/olm-hp-gen-2-passive-cooling-led-high-beam-drl-bulbs-2015-wrx-2015-sti-5431#.Vvm4NOIrLIU These are the ones rights? Do you have a picture of them in? And I think I am going to go with these for fogs. They look much whiter than the Morimotos. http://www.diodedynamics.com/store/catalog/product/view/id/22211/s/luxeon-led-fog-lamps-type-b/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flutie98 Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 Here's what it looks like mounted. I can get pics of the beam pattern if you want but it's pretty much like any other projector light, sharp cutoff and super wide. http://i.imgur.com/n4yl7FT.jpg Only reason I removed my front end was I had to mount relays and run wires to get them to run as DRLs, which I'd only recommend doing if you have some electrical knowledge and like 12 hours to spend on it lol. Did you swap the OEM fog light mounting bracket onto the DD LED fog? I just installed the XB LED Fogs (same exact manufacture as DD) and used the included bracket as is. Had to file off part of the plastic clip to make is seat into the XB plastic support. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dietztho000 Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 Wow, I really like the look of that. Thank you very much for the picture! I have made my choice now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigkanz Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 Thanks! So do I! The C-Light is a little bit whiter in color than the LEDs I just put in for the low beams (more blue) but I actually really like the contrast and it is not a big difference at all. So it's very subtle. And plug n play made it super easy to install and I just put the factory bulbs in the box the LEDs came in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just installed the XB LED Fogs (same exact manufacture as DD) and used the included bracket as is. Had to file off part of the plastic clip to make is seat into the XB plastic support. No I just bolted/clipped them in place with the OEM hardware. Broke the bolt hole on both fogs because I didn't realize how the bolt was flanged...but they're in there nice and solid so oh well.

aotus Posted April 23, 2016 Share Posted April 23, 2016 The Morimoto Type T lights don't fit in the 2016 legacy with eyesight without modification. I just tried. The brackets are just a little off on the engine side. One bolt hole on the bracket could be cut off and then it may fit well, but for my money, they need to fit perfect or they're going back. I did not take apart the bracket of the OEM light, like andrew_l_s did in the picture he attached from his install, and I expect if he had not accidentally broken the "bolt holes" (engine-side of brackets) it may not have worked either. I'm pretty miffed that the Morimoto website specifically said this model would fit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dietztho000 Posted April 23, 2016 Share Posted April 23, 2016 That is unfortunate. I hope I do not run into this when I try installing the Luxeon LED Fog Lamps (Type B) in a few weeks on my 16 Legacy with EyeSight. I can't remember if anyone here had installed them on a 16 Legacy with EyeSight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanG_Legacy Posted April 23, 2016 Share Posted April 23, 2016 (edited) Alrighty, So I've been trying to gather some posts about headlights of the 16' Legacys... And I have a couple of questions, if someone is able to help me: I have a 2.5 premium with EYESIGHT, Are the only difference between premium and limited headlights the HIDs or HIDs+Projectors? '16 Legacys with Eyesight aren't able to have drop in plug-n-play HiDs? Retrofits just cost so much money.

I don't believe the 2.5 in any trim come with HID in the US. Only the H6 does. The 2.5 premium and limited headlights are the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dietztho000 Posted April 23, 2016 Share Posted April 23, 2016 (edited) Correct, no model of the 2.5 in US has the stock Subaru HIDs. Edited April 23, 2016 by dietztho000 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NavySubsSS Posted April 23, 2016 Share Posted April 23, 2016 If you guys are interested IJDMTOY.COM sells really good drl/turn signal switchback leds 7440 so you can get rid of the high beam as the drl. I know there's another thread on this. IJDMTOY.COM has really good customer service. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanG_Legacy Posted April 29, 2016 Share Posted April 29, 2016 Drop in bulbs work pretty well in our fog lights, but projector-style ones really boost the performance. I have these from Diode Dynamics. Basically the same as Morimotos. http://www.diodedynamics.com/store/catalog/product/view/id/22211/s/luxeon-led-fog-lamps-type-b/category/1446/ Comparing drop in bulb vs. new housing, new housing is so much better. It does cost more and a little more work to install but definitely worth it. these are awesome for fogs... What do you have in your projector headlights? Do they match well with the fogs? and are the 2015 headlights same as 2016 premium headlights? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CT2015Legacy Posted May 2, 2016 Author Share Posted May 2, 2016 Wondering if any lighting experts can chime in on this BS http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20160502/10401f0a63fb34237b0aa41390c90aaa.jpg Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CT2015Legacy Posted May 2, 2016 Author Share Posted May 2, 2016 Thanks you! Does your Nav only flicker when first starting and putting in reverse or every time you put it in reverse? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1692 Posted May 2, 2016 Share Posted May 2, 2016 Mine flickers just a little bit right after I start up the car when I put it in reverse, but I've heard that's a common problem for everyone (seen another thread about the lines not showing up at first... too lazy to look). I've never seen it do that if I have been driving for a while. This happened before I ever switched any lights around to LED. I think I'd have to call the BS card on this one.

andrew_l_s Posted May 3, 2016 Share Posted May 3, 2016 these are awesome for fogs... What do you have in your projector headlights? Do they match well with the fogs? and are the 2015 headlights same as 2016 premium headlights? Indeed they are! I have XenonDepot 4300k Philips HID bulbs in my low beams. It's not quite a perfect match, the fogs are a tad bit whiter at closer to 5000k, but it's barely noticeable on the road. 5000k HIDs would match better but I prefer 4300k in terms of visibility. If you search for a light color temperature chart it'll give you an idea of the difference. 2015/2016 headlights on premium and limited trims are identical, except for the 3.6R which has HID from the factory.

Paradox Posted May 3, 2016 Share Posted May 3, 2016 Wondering if any lighting experts can chime in on this BS http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20160502/10401f0a63fb34237b0aa41390c90aaa.jpg Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk I heard the same thing from a SOA engineer last year, when they saw I had LED's installed for the cabin lighting. But, he was telling me they were only having problems with the LED's causing feedback and at times blowing, the ECU and/or the BIU on WRX's on their (then) MY15 vehicles. He said there wasn't anything for non-WRX's with that same problem, but informed me of it just in case I had the same, which I haven't so far and I got LEDs for headlights and cabin lights as well. They might be mixing issues with the WRX with the Legacy and just cross swapping the solutions, without actually digging further. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
okz Posted May 3, 2016 Share Posted May 3, 2016 The Subaru TechTIPS from April 2015 is the most recent published LED statement I have seen from SOA and it only references exterior lights.

That's nonsense! Hopefully with removing the leds they just take care of fixing the issue that obviously wasn't caused by the leds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XenonDepot Posted May 6, 2016 Share Posted May 6, 2016 @CT2015Legacy - dealerships are very quick to blame anything aftermarket - related, or not. The flickering is present with or without the H11 LED headlight kit installed... Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
