Billy Dagwood Posted February 19, 2006 Share Posted February 19, 2006 Hi, I'm new to the forum. Just picked up my first car .. atlantic blue 05 LGT 5MT. So far it's great. Only two things i'm not crazy about: 1) premium gas only! (ah well .. ) 2) the red blinkers in the back. Can anyone think of an easy/non-invasive way to make them yellow/orange? A friend of mine mentioned I might think about putting green bulbs in there. Anybody know if this will work, and, if so, what kind I should get, and where?

PeterJMC Posted February 19, 2006 Share Posted February 19, 2006 JDM rear tail lights. The amber blinker is where the reverse lights are. I'm not a fan of the red turn signals myself. Opie is selling a set of the JDM tails. Check out this thread, http://legacygt.com/forums/showthread.php?t=28108 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billy Dagwood Posted February 20, 2006 Author Share Posted February 20, 2006 Cool! Ok, so wait, where can I get these? (and then we'll see how much they will set me back) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gohmer1 Posted February 20, 2006 Share Posted February 20, 2006 Hmm, why do you dislike Red - just curious? G Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeterJMC Posted February 20, 2006 Share Posted February 20, 2006 For me, I like amber as sort of a saftey issue along with it looking better. When I think red blinking, I think brake lights, not really turn signals. Where in Annapolis are you? I'm up there pretty often, I just passed a Dark Blue LGT on Cape St Clair Rd earlier today.

Opie Posted February 20, 2006 Share Posted February 20, 2006 Yep, the extra set I had is sold, but everyone can buy sets from http://www.japanparts.com like I did! Just use their part number search for this number: knBL84201 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G.T.Subie Posted February 20, 2006 Share Posted February 20, 2006 Opie what didn't you like about the JDM light? Denial is your best friend Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Opie Posted February 20, 2006 Share Posted February 20, 2006 Opie what didn't you like about the JDM light? What do you mean? I love the look of the JDM rear tail lights. Japanparts.com excellent customer service sent me an extra set because the first set had some minor damage during shiping. I used some parts off my original OEM lights and repaired the damage so I had an extra set to sell. Mine are still installed! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Billy Dagwood Posted March 4, 2006 Author Share Posted March 4, 2006 Am I right in assuming the Canadian Legacies have the same tails that we do (as opposed to the JDM tails)? I was just looking over the Canadian site .. it beats the ____ out of the US site, especially the microsites. www.subaru.ca Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The B4 Posted March 4, 2006 Share Posted March 4, 2006 Hmm, why do you dislike Red - just curious? G it's not so bad on the Legacy but one thing i really hate... which i tend to see on a lot of domestics...especially suv's is when the brake and blinker are the same. when they brake you can't see they are blinking or they have one tail light out and they brake on and off like normal people do and you think they are signaling. grrrrr.... i much prefer amber turn signals because if you see amber... you know they are signaling.

SBT Posted March 4, 2006 Share Posted March 4, 2006 I definitely like the look of the JDM tails on both the wagon and the sedan. I think one or more of our Australian brethern volunteered to do a buy for those interested in getting them from down-unda.

Billy Dagwood Posted March 4, 2006 Author Share Posted March 4, 2006 Would anyone be interested in doing a new group buy? If there are enough people, perhaps we can work a discount! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Billy Dagwood Posted March 4, 2006 Author Share Posted March 4, 2006 Well, not that I've ever done this before, but I imagine the first step is gauging interest .. so I'll put you down for now for a yes, making 2 so far (for what it's worth, as I don't consider this something necessary for the car, the deal is definitely a factor for me, too) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PeterJMC Posted March 4, 2006 Share Posted March 4, 2006 This is one of the most annoying things I see on domestic cars:icon_mad: I think in certain situations its extremely dangerous. Yes it is, especially when I'm on my motorcycle. I really wish that all manufactures would use amber turn signals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperhawkLGT Posted March 4, 2006 Share Posted March 4, 2006 +1 for GP pending cost. They are $350 from japanparts.com so it would need to be considerably less than that for me. I had the opportunity to get them at $200 and passed, dumbass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Billy Dagwood Posted March 4, 2006 Author Share Posted March 4, 2006 so .. anyone else want in on a group buy of JDM tails? So far we're only at 2. Does anyone know how many we'd need to work a discount/how much of a discount? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
