stransky Posted August 8, 2007 Author Share Posted August 8, 2007 is there an english version of that website or an english retailer that stocks them? Not as I know but you can mail them: For ENGLISH Inquiry E-mail info@luckystar.co.jp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
47ka Posted September 28, 2007 Share Posted September 28, 2007 Any update on getting your lights to work? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stransky Posted September 29, 2007 Author Share Posted September 29, 2007 The lights are still in the box I have a fix for them but it requires me to install load resistors. I need to buy 10W 27 Ohm resistor but I have not yet found a good e-shop to order them from. The strange thing is that I have not heard that anyone else than me is having problems with the lights....

Well according to their website they're saying there's a chance for the illumination to appear weak if your vehicle is equipped w/ traction control but they do have a "solution kit" for that.

stransky Posted September 30, 2007 Author Share Posted September 30, 2007 Yes I have that kit solving weak light but I dont think I noticed any difference. I found a guy on e-bay selling this taillights £329.00. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/SUBARU-LEGACY-HANABI-LED-CHROME-TAIL-LENS_W0QQitemZ280143212758QQcmdZViewItem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SenorTuco Posted May 10, 2009 Share Posted May 10, 2009 Hi Stransky (and everybody), Do you still have issues with your Hanabi tail lights? I've got an Euro Outback 3.0R VDC fitted with Hanabi (+VDC Kit) and everything is working fine. No power loss, no Cruise control disabled. Let me know if i can help.

I've got an Euro Outback 3.0R VDC fitted with Hanabi (+VDC Kit) and everything is working fine. No power loss, no Cruise control disabled. Let me know if i can help. I gave up and sold them. Interesting that your lights work but do you have automatic transmission as I have? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SenorTuco Posted May 11, 2009 Share Posted May 11, 2009 I gave up and sold them. Interesting that your lights work but do you have automatic transmission as I have? Yes i have an automatique transmission. But with the 3.0R engine, it's a 5 speed Sportshift. Models with the 2.5 and 2.0R engine can also have the Sportshift tranny but with only 4 speed. Dont know if it make a difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cause I didn't and I have been thinking if that could have done any difference. Now its too late to try cause they are sold. I am now looking for JDM facelift taillights 07+ but they are so expensive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am now looking for JDM facelift taillights 07+ but they are so expensive. Yes, the battery was disconnected cause i dont wanna burn something or be injured. I put the VDC kit (a simple resistor) on the left light. On every images i saw on japanese websites, the kit was installed on the right. With everything inverted on european cars (including the tail fog light and reverse light), i have thinked that it can be a good idea. But maybe it's not important.

My05wag Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 Hey guys , just wondering if any one came up with a fix ? I'm in the same situation - installed led tail light and now cruise Control simply won't set. Works fine with builds , chuck. In the led tail lights and cruise will not set. The cars an 05 wagon manual if it makes any difference , I have tried resistors which seemed to do nothing at all. The led plug that goes to the bulb socket only has 3 contacts where the standard bulbs have 4 contact points. Perhaps the resistor wiring is wrong but I seem to doubt it , the resistors are 21 watt 8ohms - 1 per tail light was tapped in. Any help would be great , I'm contemplating just going back to bulbs but really like the look of LEDs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any help would be great , I'm contemplating just going back to bulbs but really like the look of LEDs Sorry, can really help because the car was sold one year ago. But never have any problems with this lights. The VDC kit resistor (furnished by the seller) was put only on the LEFT side (because Euro LHD Car). Don't have any idea about the watt or Ohm involved within the resistor. I only have a blurry pic of the resistor taped on the original wires. http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/803/img0379j.jpg/ The resistor (the thing in my hand) have two wires, red and red/black. The car have three wires for the socket. Green, Green/White and Black. I put (resistor --> car) Red --> Green Red/Black --> Black The Green/White wire on the car was NOT taped. Hope this helps. Tuco Note: Today, i Have a 07 Euro Outback with Valenti Lights. Pretty happy with them, they are full led, including the turn signals. No need to ad a resistor, but you have to change the turn signal relay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
My05wag Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 Problem fixed. Tuco thanks for the info and pic . Took one restrictor off kept one on drivers side and reset ecu . Cruise can now be set. This was doing my head in so much but now it's been resolved. Thanks again - Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SenorTuco Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 Hi Pete, You're Welcome! At the time i spend a whole sunday trying to translate the japanese color code info sheet furnished with the lights... in Google! Typing Kanji was a real pain! Glad it works for you!

Steve Watson Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 Cruise controls frequently seek a ground through the filament of one or both brake lights. Since LED's are diodes, the cruise can't find a ground. By installing an additional resistor in parallel with the brake light, the cruise can find ground through it and will work right. The resistance isn't that important but you need to make sure that the wattage matches. For instance, if you want to use a 100 ohm resistor, it will pull 0.138 amps (13.8 v/100ohms = 0.138) and the wattage needs to be 1.9044 watts (13.8 v X 0.138 amps = 1.9044). So find at least a 2 watt resistor. You can also call us at Watson's StreetWorks if you need more help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
