andrew_l_s Posted December 10, 2016 Share Posted December 10, 2016 If you're after the black housings, a set from a Premium or Limited will do the trick. However if it's the forbidden fruit clear sidemarker you're wanting it's a bit more diffucult. As far as I know most overseas countries get them, however you'd need to import a set from a LHD country like Germany. Ones from Japan or Australia will have a backwards beam pattern compared to ours. Plus, overseas cars have LED low beams. Chances are it's not an easy plug-n-play swap. And that's why I stuck some black vinyl over mine and called it a day;) repurposed some leftovers from my roof wrap. Not too hard to make just took some time. As a sidenote, I'd be happy to scan my templates and send as a PDF or whatever to anyone wanting them. If you'd rather buy precut ones see this thread: http://www.subaruoutback.org/forums/138-gen-5-2015-present/333825-tinted-amber-headlight-reflector-overlays.html http://i.imgur.com/tq0pjjE.jpg Lighting Mods: $10 Footwell Illumination | Tail as Turn | Fog as DRL Diode Dynamics C-Lights | RX350 Bi-Xenon Retrofit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The primary issue with them is that they are often for left hand traffic and not right hand traffic so the light pattern is the wrong way causing opposing traffic to get a lot of glares. Bad light adjustment can be a cop magnet too. The side marker issue can probably be solved one way or another, check the legislation for what's required.

USA requires the orange but I doubt any cop is gonna notice an incorrect colored sidemarker. A lot of people buy clear ones from overseas and swap, it's much easier when it's a separate lens.

Only required on vehicles above a certain length. But my consideration was that it would be possible to mount a separate marker to solve the problem.

No side marker at all, it's a US specific thing. What we have in the headlight assembly is: 1. LED low beam in projector. 2. Turn indicator. 3. Halogen high beam. 4. Ordinary bulb position light in the high beam part. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BeastCoast Posted January 3, 2017 Share Posted January 3, 2017 I wasn't please with the base housings myself. I had some body work done and had my guy hide new housings in the insurance claim so I got the limited housings out of that deal. Great improvement @BeastCoast1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
