MrCobbs Posted August 17, 2018 Share Posted August 17, 2018 Supposedly it was fixed after 2016 on all of the TR690's. Still thanks for the heads up as this is something we can keep an eye out for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chowser51 Posted August 17, 2018 Share Posted August 17, 2018 Don’t know why they won’t warranty it longer. I will have to look at mine next oil change. Which is soon as soon as I can find a day off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ammcinnis Posted August 17, 2018 Author Share Posted August 17, 2018 Don’t know why they won’t warranty it longer. 10 years/100,000 miles isn't enough for you? A manufacturer can't warranty their products forever. The question is, where does normal wear and tear supersede early failure?

chowser51 Posted August 17, 2018 Share Posted August 17, 2018 It’s enough. I’m going to make sure mine is checked before 100k which will probably be around next year for me. To me if it is a known defect, they should honor it no matter the mileage. Honda fixed my 1981 gas cap issue when it was 17 years old. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IcEWoLF Posted August 18, 2018 Share Posted August 18, 2018 Okay, this mod was such a PITA, next time I’ll just buy new lights and have it ship it out to a lightwerkz and have them do it, from the outside they look perfect but the driver side light has a little gap, can’t do much about it, I had to have them take it apart 3 times becaus the first time they forgot the plastic part of the turn signal, the 2nd time they scratched the chrome so I had them repaint both headlights black and the third time they didn’t align the c light on the driver side properly, sure is cost me $350 for the install but never again. The install with the LED is a pita since my lights cabling is all inside the stupid light. What a cluster**** I’ll have a friend make sure the driver side light is properly sealed so no moisture can get in, thankfully it’s summer. Washed the car carefully. With that said I’m in love with the mod, just not something I’d recommend anyone doing it, taking apart the lights and going back is a disaster, we used the heat gun method the first time, it didn’t turn out well at all, the 2nd time with oven it was much better but the damage was already done.

fullah Posted August 18, 2018 Share Posted August 18, 2018 I hate you,,LOL but nice replacement.. Wanted wrx but too small for a family car. I have kids too but that's what the wife's car is for lol. The legacy is staying in the family so it's more like I no longer drive it but I missed being in a wrx. This 2018 is so easy to drive after they made some clutch and suspension tweaks.

IcEWoLF Posted August 18, 2018 Share Posted August 18, 2018 Yeah re-opening and closing is a pita...last time I get any shops do it unless it’s lightwerkz, plus they do it in a dust free environment, mine has some dust particles in it, can’t notice it but it’s there. If anything in a year or so I might just get the headlights from them and modded. Overall the turn signals are crazy bright lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both my cousins have a 2016 and 2017 wrx, they are nice, Fun little suckers, but for me I need a bigger car for activities and stuff so extra space for me is huge, especially since I don’t have two cars. If I had two cars I might have opted for a more sportier car like the wrx or even an sti. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IcEWoLF Posted August 18, 2018 Share Posted August 18, 2018 Here is a video of the headlights. First video is the driver side c-light not properly installed, the 2nd video is when they corrected it. This weekend I gotta clean up the wiring because they suck how they wired things up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chowser51 Posted August 21, 2018 Share Posted August 21, 2018 (edited) Lol. Yes. It is hooked up correctly. For now I took out the two horn fuses so I have no horn. Not that it bothers me since I have never used it. I made sure I didn’t break anything. I will have to take everything out and reinstall and check again. It’s three quick horn chirps whenever I press the brake. Maybe it’s part of the immobilizer? Remote start (which hasn’t worked since my daughter shot the car), something else? Well after driving around and running errands, I plugged the fuses back in and the horn no longer chirps when hitting the brakes. Whatever it was seems to have corrected itself and the horn works like normal. Edited August 21, 2018 by chowser51 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Bought new headlights and going to be shipping it out to lightwerkz for full customization since my local body shop sucked. $1100 but price matched the only Subaru retailer...originally quoted $800 per light... Lightwerkz posted your car pic on their Instagram and I had a feeling it was yours since you and me are the only ones with the 3.6RS badges lol. Here is my badge, cleaned up the old glue and polished things up: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
