weareweird69 Posted July 27, 2008 Share Posted July 27, 2008 (edited) You dont need to pull the circuit board out of the radio. This write up did help ALOT, THANKS!  But i couldn't get the radio board to pull up and out, so i found an easier way to do it!  The plug on the back of the radio right behind the board where the lights are, the little black peice of plastic removes very easily, and you can slide the radio plug up and out of its holster allowing extreme easy access to the bulbs. This job took me less than 30 minutes to do. The last three pictures, you dont need to remove those screws, or knob, and in the very last picture you can see the radio plug, the little plastic cover on the top of it slides up and off. Just pull back on some plastic clips and it comes off very easily. Edited July 27, 2008 by weareweird69 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Legacy__Owner Posted September 10, 2008 Share Posted September 10, 2008 Aczwild, first off... awesome right up. Very clear and directional. Main question I have for you is if you would happen to have a right up for the radio lights? Stock radio I'm talking about on my 95 sub legacy. The radio backlight is out (can't tell time at night...very annoying) and a few of the preset buttons are out also. Any guidance or writeup would be tremendously appreciated! Thanks in advance.

Thanks in advance.i have never (4 different 95-99 Legacy's) seen the radio clock area be lit at night, however i can dissect my extra HU and see. BTW hopefully i'll have some more instructions for other things up by the end of the weekend and I will revise this thread for easier removal.

snowboarder_lgt Posted November 3, 2008 Share Posted November 3, 2008 Anyone know about replacing the hazard light button bulb? I cant find any info on the bulb and read somewhere that you have to replace the whole switch... is that true? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonklein611 Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 should be able to remove the faceplate and pull the switch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowboarder_lgt Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 is it one of the same bulbs used in the hvac panel? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonklein611 Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 I would assume so, I haven't actually pulled that one apart.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weareweird69 Posted November 5, 2008 Share Posted November 5, 2008 The hazard bulb is replaceable, you need to peel back the reflective foil on the switch itself. The Subaru parts guy scavenged a bulb out of another switch for me because he didnt have the bulb on stock. But he said he could get a bulb for me, so just ask if they can get it for you, or scavenge one out of another switch for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

punkers Posted November 29, 2008 Share Posted November 29, 2008 What a GREAT walkthrough, Thanks a million! I just did this in less than an hour, and half of the time was spent running in and out of the house to get tools and check the pictures on the computer. The dealer wanted $200 to do this... I have a '95 Legacy LS wagon, AT, A/C 2.2 L. 160K miles. A few additional tips: I got my bulbs from Radio Shack. Less than $4 for four bulbs (they come in 2-packs. See this thread for the post with the bulb #). My Subaru dealer was out of them, PLUS they wanted $5 EACH. The original bulbs have a little green covering on them. I rolled it off the old bulbs and onto the new ones. The replacement bulbs are a few mm shorter than the originals. At the step where the parts slide open "about 1/4 inch", there is another step to get you access to the bulbs. The plastic piece immediately above the circuit board holding the bulbs is removable. Look for the 2 tabs that can easily be depressed to slide it out of the unit. These lights are very dim and might not be visible in daylight. I had to cover my head and the control with a heavy blanket to make it dark enough to see that these new bulbs did, infact, work! I found that a plastic tire lever worked very well for removing the plastic trim w/o scratches. Again, thanks for a very well put together and illustrated walkthrough.

freekyFX4 Posted January 6, 2009 Share Posted January 6, 2009 I need to do this fix very soon! Thanks for the great write-up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrLWJ Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 (edited) As I recall the bulb is like the NEO3 as shown below. Anyone know for sure? These are LED and a great price. I ordered a set to give em a try, will let you all know if they work. NEO3-x http://www.superbrightleds.com/products/car/NEO3-x_mm.jpg NEO4-x http://www.superbrightleds.com/products/car/NEO4-x_mm.jpg all measurements in millimeters Edited January 15, 2009 by MrLWJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
987687 Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 The bulb behind the buttons (defroster, foot, etc) is possessed on mine. It sometimes works, and then will randomly go off. Hitting it makes it work again :/ Right now it is freezing cold though, so I'll fix it when it is either warmer, or I'm at someone's house with a heated garage.
