GotTurbo - NY Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 Looking for some help. I just ordered a kit form www.yourledshop.com found them on nasioc and ordered a kit for my mothers 08 legacy. I was able to do the dome and map lights. The kit also came with replacement bulbs for the plate but didnt know how to change them. Any help? -Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N.sane Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 Im at work, so no pics at the moment. Pop the trunk, undo the clips that hold onto the carpet at the top of the trunk's carpet lining, and the 2 big ones that look like gigantic nipples. Then it's just a matter of reaching and finding the sockets that hold onto the bulbs, give it a little twist, and the socket can be pulled down with the wires attached to it. Pull the old bulb out and replace it with the new one. If it doesnt light up the first time, pull the bulb out, turn it the other direction and try again. That's the jist of it, if you need pics I will post some lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
el5y Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 Wasnt Speeding. Actully I was at a red light here on LI, and i never shut off my headlights last night, so he saw that one of my headlights was out, the passenger side(which is a HID kit that i had installed a year ago), and when he pulled me over i still had the lights on, and he noticed that the light in the back was out, the headlight miraculously fixed itself after i flicked them off and flicked them back on(it does that quite frequently, quick fix, shut them off, and turn them back on, i believe the balast over heats or shorts) So when he saw that it was fixed he crossed out that it was a headlight, and wrote license p. light on top of headlight. so here it says we have 24 hours or so to fix it or we have to pay the ticket. so i need to install one sometime tomorrow before 3ish WOW...thats BS. I got pulled over in my old car at 1 AM heading back to school after a long day of interviews for a job. Both my rear license plate lights were out (which is why they pulled me over). They just asked where we were headed (my roommate and I were in the car together) we told them, they saw the suits laying in the back seat. They just said "Get your rear license plate lights fixed" and that was it. Nothing about my illegal exhaust. Eric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

youknowit Posted November 4, 2009 Share Posted November 4, 2009 YOU DO NOT HAVE TO GO THROUGH YOUR TRUNK!!!!!!! 1. UNDO your tag screws 2. Undo the TWO bolts behind your tag 3. POP off the peice of the body that has the legacy emblems. (little plastic tags...Just pull from one of the corners, just be carefull BUT ive taken mine off a million times and have NEVER had it break.) 4. Get a screw driver and pop off the black plastic that the tag lights go in (also becareful not to mess up your paint so put something between the screw driver and the body of the car. and your done. (They are the same pop type locks that you take off for where the emblems are.) Takes me 10 mins to install and put back together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leglover Posted November 4, 2009 Share Posted November 4, 2009 Best Place to buy LED tag bulbs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
berkshire40 Posted November 6, 2009 Share Posted November 6, 2009 I got wide angle ones from superbrightleds.com WLED-x5 LED Wide Angle LED bulb http://www.superbrightleds.com/store/html/images/wled-x5.jpg They are only $3 and they are not too bright, have a good wide angle on them which is important because the plate bulbs shine at a 45 degree angle. Installation tip: use needle nose to pinch the leads inside the socket a bit so the bulb fits in snug and does not fall out. Also buying the plastic popit rivet popping tool from autozone makes removing interior panels a breeze. Mod list & photos _ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T4RBoarder Posted November 10, 2009 Share Posted November 10, 2009 So I just put LEDs in my OBW and I have a really weird question. If you see in this picture both bulbs are angled to the right...on my other cars they're either angled inward or outward but I have never seen them go the same direction and it is driving me insane. I tried to turn it around so they go in opposite directions but then the cover doesn't fit right....anyone else with a wagon have this problem? http://i165.photobucket.com/albums/u42/Cvilleelk8807/fdb1f45a.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
berkshire40 Posted November 10, 2009 Share Posted November 10, 2009 on my car they are angled 45 degrees outward, which is the reason i got the wide angle bulbs Mod list & photos _ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
