05SilverScubie Posted March 20, 2009 Share Posted March 20, 2009 TSi, I just scored a set of stock headlights (amongst many other nice toys!! ) and i'm going to take that set apart, cut back that little plastic lip (i think it's the one you were talking about) that's on the inside of the headlight and try to flush mount the strips in there (along the bottom) then put it all back together. I get all the parts tonight, so i'm going to attempt it this weekend. Thanks for the suggestion it seems like it will be a really nice set up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DarkOblivion000 Posted March 28, 2009 Share Posted March 28, 2009 That is some sexy shiz. Where can I get that badge in the front grille? I have a new grille coming in, and it might look a little empty without a badge... maybe if I could find a L7 badge for the front grille somewhere (not just the overlay) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DocHolladay23 Posted March 28, 2009 Share Posted March 28, 2009 oem badge sanded and cleaned with some carbon fiber vinyl. It's pretty easy to do and cheap [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] You want stickers?

05SilverScubie Posted March 30, 2009 Share Posted March 30, 2009 Doc, I'm still waiting on the parts from my guy....i'm starting to question his worthiness... If all else fails, i'll do it to the ones i have now, i'm just slightly hesitant because they've been torn apart once already, and well frankly if i screw it up some how....well, i'll keep this a family show.... I will def. keep everyone posted as soon as i start on this endevour! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dwiens87 Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 So I was waxing my outback today and I noticed that the rubber trim molding all over the car is really starting to wear and show its age. In some places it seems like its peeling off. Oddly though, I noticed a gap starting to form between the lower part of the headlights and the bumper. Almost big enough to fit the LED strip in between. My bumper isn't falling off, just settling...i hope. I'll post a pic when its light outside. edit: picture inserted in my album Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
05SilverScubie Posted April 3, 2009 Share Posted April 3, 2009 so until i get another set of headlights, i had these smaller strips and figured i'd give them a shot for the time being... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patriki Posted April 3, 2009 Share Posted April 3, 2009 Just did my LED retrofit today. Got them last night and paid for them mid last week I believe. SUPER fast shipping, thanks!! http://www.legacygt.com/forums/showthread.php?t=109389 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
05SilverScubie Posted April 4, 2009 Share Posted April 4, 2009 very interesting concept Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dwiens87 Posted April 4, 2009 Share Posted April 4, 2009 ArcTec34 came over and we installed the strips above the headlight on my Outback. I'll post pictures when its dark, looks good. However on a bad note, one of my strips has 3 dead LEDs in the middle. LEDs light up on both sides but i have a group of 3 that I have to poke or push to get them to turn on...and then they turn off if they get bumped....Cliff, can you help me out with a replacement strip? edit: 3 hours later, another 3led segment is acting funny....using a golf tee to poke it back on.....same strip though.
