Enlight Posted September 23, 2004 Share Posted September 23, 2004 I used to have a '91 Acura Legend and people would/are doing HID conversions all the time. And to tell you the truth, we have it pretty lucky because we already ahve the projector lenses. Back at acura-legend forum, we would also have to buy the houings from junked cars. We also have to do the baking thing. If you do it all yourself, there are excellent HID kits that cost around $300.

chibisak Posted September 24, 2004 Share Posted September 24, 2004 Just a suggestion, if get the JDM headlight why not get the WR legacy instead of SpecB. I think the WR has the aluminium look It also got the switch to adjust the headlight :P [img]http://www.subaru.co.jp/legacy/wrlimited/utility/06/imgs/top.jpg[/img] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kanoswrx Posted September 24, 2004 Share Posted September 24, 2004 I allways find it funny how when a car comes with silver lights they want to black them out and usually when they come blacked out people will still want them silver. I must say I am a fan of either way on the Legacy, those WR lights look nice, but the headlights I have look nice too. But I think everyone can agree that the orange has to go :) cleared headlights are the best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thatericguy Posted September 24, 2004 Share Posted September 24, 2004 what about the cutoff lines? i remember this discussion back when the jdm sti projector lights were an issue. do people not care about that? if you want the silver look id go for the edm stuff...might be a bit cheaper and with the correct projector cut off lines. ill have to post more pics of my front lights with the silvervisions now. looks so nice in the sun. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CombatCQB Posted September 25, 2004 Share Posted September 25, 2004 I currently have a set of X-pel headlight protection film on my headlights, I wonder if I can still bake them? I might try to wrap the front lens with foil and heat resistant tape to protect the film. I agree, the orange has to go... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DAP Posted September 27, 2004 Share Posted September 27, 2004 Those headlights would look even better if one could replace that orange bulb with clear LEDs that output orange light when on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kanoswrx Posted September 27, 2004 Share Posted September 27, 2004 I remember seeing some silver painted bulbs that actually lit orange. So it made it look like everything was silvery, but when you hit the blinker the orange comes through. Pretty cool, just wish I remembered what they were called.

GranTourer Posted September 28, 2004 Share Posted September 28, 2004 Philips' UK division makes a signal bulb that is silver when not lit and orange when lit; it's called [url=http://www.lighting.philips.com/in_en/consumer/carlighting/products/for_your_car/silver_vision/silver_vision.php?main=gb_en&parent=1_3&id=in_en_car_lighting&lang=en]SilverVision[/url]. eBay and foreign vendors sell them along with [url=http://www.autolamps-online.com/halogen/svpage.htm]this place[/url]. Also, Osram/Sylvania makes a similar clear bulb that has a blue tint when not lit. The Sylvania bulb is called [url=http://www.sylvania.com/ConsumerProducts/AutomotiveLighting/HighPerformance/SilverStarSignal/default.htm]SilverStar Signal[/url]. I'm not too sure about fitment or availability of a size that the Legacy uses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thatericguy Posted September 28, 2004 Share Posted September 28, 2004 i just put the silverstars in the legacy to complement my cleared headlights...and they aren't really blue as the site link.its more of a pearl iridescent (purple,blue,red shades) 3157A is the size of the bulb in case you're too lazy to look in your manual. anyhow it made the headlights look alot better in sunlight. ill have to post a pic of it when i get a chance.

Guest *Jedimaster* Posted September 28, 2004 Share Posted September 28, 2004 I have a question: when you took your bumper off, it looks like the foglights are attached directly to the bumper- is that how it is? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thatericguy Posted September 29, 2004 Share Posted September 29, 2004 well they are hooked into the bumper and theres a power wire from the frame to the fogs. They did not look hard to remove. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M. Schneider Posted October 24, 2004 Share Posted October 24, 2004 The '05 OB & LGT sold in Germany has the clear light assembly. I'll attempt to get the Subaru part number for these lens.

Deer Killer Posted October 24, 2004 Share Posted October 24, 2004 [quote name='chibisak'] It also got the switch to adjust the headlight :P [/QUOTE] The level adjustment? What about the housing/motor? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
axis008 Posted October 24, 2004 Share Posted October 24, 2004 Only the JDM cars have the headlight level adjustment. I don't know how it works, but in the cabin there's a little rocker switch to adjust the beam height. -ben Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Legacy05GT Posted October 25, 2004 Share Posted October 25, 2004 Just cleared my headlights tonight... still have stock bulbs in, but looking online for the clear bulbs that blink orange. Anywho, tonight will be the condensation test... i'm pretty confident thought, i think the key step is heating the two pieces again before you put them back together. Also, wearing gloves is a great idea.... i DIDN'T, so now my finger tips hurt as I type this. I'll throw up some pics of the final product soon, not that you guys haven't seen it, but it should compliment the lip nicely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
