jerami1981 Posted December 11, 2006 Share Posted December 11, 2006 so in other words..no can do with the factory setup..just not ready to drop a few hundred bucks to rectify this problem, but as others have noted, i prefer the amber as it makes what i am intending to do undeniable since amber only means turn. Ok, checked out the 2nd link (didnt realize it was a different one at first) and liked what i saw aside from the blinker speed and the overall brightness (though that could have been from the angle and video quality).

Crawdaddy79 Posted December 12, 2006 Share Posted December 12, 2006 I don't think JDM is the way to go.... Japan. http://www.crawspace.com/web3/legacyrearjdm.jpg Europe (well, Germany at least... I couldn't get the subaru.co.uk site to work right) http://www.crawspace.com/web3/legacyrearde.jpg US http://www.crawspace.com/web3/legacyrearusdm.jpg I think that anything done to make an orange blinker will have to be custom done unless I want to get a new bumper.

CreoSTi Posted December 12, 2006 Share Posted December 12, 2006 I think that anything done to make an orange blinker will have to be custom done unless I want to get a new bumper. Like sebberry indicated, you're comparing the wrong JDM/EDM model years to the USDM Legacy.

bmorrisj Posted December 12, 2006 Share Posted December 12, 2006 nobody watched my vid.... i have amber blinkers with the reverse lights Legacy GT faux JDM tails.... video by bmorrisj - Photobucket@@AMEPARAM@@http://vidmg.photobucket.com/player.swf?file=http://vidmg.photobucket.com/albums/v34/bmorrisj/S3010651.flv@@AMEPARAM@@vidmg@@AMEPARAM@@mg@@AMEPARAM@@v34/bmorrisj/S3010651 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperhawkLGT Posted December 13, 2006 Share Posted December 13, 2006 That may have possibly been the worst video I have ever seen, no offense . I'm guessing that you rewired the signals to be brake lights and somehow put amber led's in the reverse lights for signals, correct? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmorrisj Posted December 13, 2006 Share Posted December 13, 2006 theres a metal tab you slide out, which reveals a square hole right above the reverse light... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TCL28 Posted December 18, 2006 Share Posted December 18, 2006 Hmmmm is right. Do you have any close up pictures? How did you wire it all up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmorrisj Posted December 18, 2006 Share Posted December 18, 2006 replaced the top two bulbs with 4-wire bulbs(hi/low lust like the bottom bulbs) and just use the low output and use those as markers(off of the wires for the bottom bulbs) wired small amber bulbs to the turn signal wires, pull out the metal tab, stick the bulb in the hole and i sandwiched the bulb under the tab.... no close up pics yet... i need brighter amber bulbs tho...

goBlue Posted May 26, 2007 Share Posted May 26, 2007 replaced the top two bulbs with 4-wire bulbs(hi/low lust like the bottom bulbs) and just use the low output and use those as markers(off of the wires for the bottom bulbs) wired small amber bulbs to the turn signal wires, pull out the metal tab, stick the bulb in the hole and i sandwiched the bulb under the tab.... no close up pics yet... i need brighter amber bulbs tho... sorry to bring up this old thread but i'm very interested in doing what you did if that actually works out nicely for you. i like the JDM tails but am not ready to spend $300 yet. pics would be nice too. also it appears in your vid that they flash more rapidly than normal, is it because you don't have load equalizers and the computer thinks your bulbs are not present? o nvm, i got it. so did you have take to out the entire housing to slide out the metal tab? if so, how difficult was that? ok, i actually went out to my garage to look at the tab that you were referring to. so there's a square tab above the reverse light but it's perpendicular to the original hole for reverse bulb. how did you manage the "sandwich" another (amber) bulb there? i think a pic would clarify that perfectly. so will these work for this mod: amber bulbs to be sandwiched under the tab brake light bulbs to replace the OEM red bulbs in top section of housing ohm resistor to prevent rapid flashing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmorrisj Posted May 26, 2007 Share Posted May 26, 2007 so will these work for this mod: amber bulbs to be sandwiched under the tab brake light bulbs to replace the OEM red bulbs in top section of housing ohm resistor to prevent rapid flashing i have LED front corners..... no load balancers also i kind of rewired it again... the tops are 4 wire bulbs using only the low filament for markers. a two wire bulb is too bright... the bottoms are 4wire bulbs and all 4 wires are lit only with the brakes also, the wires on the bulbs are just wrapped to the opposite side. so the tops are dim all the time, and the bottoms only come on with the brakes and bright... the ambers are still in the center...

goBlue Posted May 26, 2007 Share Posted May 26, 2007 the ambers are in the center but they're pointing down rather than pointing out like in most cars, correct? i looked at it more carefully but i had a hard time "sliding" the tab out. i have an 07 so i dont know if subaru has changed it.
