3.75L H6 Posted March 25, 2004 Share Posted March 25, 2004 I've seen the U.S. (<--Is this a place where I should use "USDM"?) '05 Legacy/Outback headlights in person, and they aren't bad. However, I like the headlights seen on the other cars, without the orange tint on the corners..... Is there a way to get the non-US spec headlights? Any other news on the body styling options i.e. B4 etc......? [also, are the North American '05 headlights smaller than the '04 international ones?] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wukilla98 Posted March 25, 2004 Share Posted March 25, 2004 Just checked out the Legacy GT Turbo in person at the Lehigh Valley Auto Show in PA, on close examination, it looked it like it was assembled indentically to the Impreza/WRX setup which means the losing the FUUUUUGLY amber portions with the simple bake method... that can be found on various forums on the internet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SUBE555 Posted March 25, 2004 Share Posted March 25, 2004 I think a number of us are very edgy being this close to release. I don't know about everyone else but I sure am. Sleep deprived, food deprived. I vegetate around the boards prior to big info releases. :| :o :? Nobody at school wonders why I check the boards every 15min.

SUBE555 Posted March 26, 2004 Share Posted March 26, 2004 If you're willing to do my homework, fill my brain with everything learned when I return, and pay for the entire trip, sure! How about a trip to Cobb in SLC at the end of May, that will help ease the pain. :D Maybe Trey will let me drive their shop Leg. :D I'm one of 2 Legacy fanatics going thus far.

gtguy Posted March 26, 2004 Share Posted March 26, 2004 From those two pictures, from different angles and distances, you can't tell anything. Sorry. We do all need to chill. Personally, I LIKE the USDM bumpers, as they make the car look longer and more arrow-like. It never ceases to amaze me how people can be bothered by the DOT orange markers in the turn signals. To say that I don't care would be giving those things more import than they deserve. But that's just me... :lol: Kevin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SUBE555 Posted March 26, 2004 Share Posted March 26, 2004 I'll probably do the bake headlight mod and it should look just nice and fine. I don't see any issues with the rest of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SUBE555 Posted March 26, 2004 Share Posted March 26, 2004 I edited a double-post. There was no pic. Trying to keep things clean for everyone. Double-posting can lead to needless bandwidth and is just extra stuff to read through. With this site being hosted for free, saving as much bandwidth as we can is a good thing. BTW, you may want to download and add the pic to the site. On the XP machines here at school I can only get to see the pic if I open in another window by copy and paste first.

SUBE555 Posted March 26, 2004 Share Posted March 26, 2004 There is a tried and true method on this. Basically what it does it remove the adhesion of the glue which holds the orange lense in there IIRC. Get all the details before you try it though first. i'm not in any way, shape, or form responsable if people don't do their homework and destroy their headlamps.
