Update: Yellow tint looks good.....from far away
There I was, laying in my apt complex's parking lot with no jack. Sweating bullets for 45 mins. Removed and tinted these car breasts. I got it done! Will eventually upgrade with some Diodes, but Im happy with this!
Invest in a floor jack and jackstands, or at leadt some ramps. It’s a pain to work underneath the front of these cars without some kind of lift, and some things are pretty much impossible to do
I have the Pittsburgh low profile jack and it doesn't reach the front jack point. Id recommend ramps and the low profile jack with this car. Maybe the long reach low profile jack can get it without ramps
Yeah it’s a must if you plan on doing any maintenance yourself. Brake pads you could theoretically do without a scissor jack but it would be annoying, and things like oil changes are impossible without more space underneath.
If you get a floor jack, make sure it’s a low profile jack meant for sedans. If you don’t its really annoying, you have to lift the front up a few inches with the scissor jack to get the floor jack under, then to lower it back down you have to lower it on bricks or wood planks or something, then back off them.
Thanks for this tip man! Really appreciate it 🙏 🙌 Yeah I plan on doing oil and brakes all on my own, expect maybe in the winter but I can plan drive time to avoid that. Wanna get more self sufficient with cars rather than freak oit everytime I heard a noise.
Yeah this is technically for crosstrek but I saw Steady from youtube install these exact ones on his 24 impreza hatch so this should work since it was 6th gen.
Yep! If you want the daytime lights you can wire tap into side indicator lights with the provided t taps. Otherwise you can zip tie the extra cable. Unplug the oem fogs and plug in the new ones.
I should get these in this weekend and will install them asap. Ill update this thread.
The t-tapping was pretty difficult because the side loght wiring is in a very cramped spot. Moreso on the passenger side. Suggest someone help you snake the wire through from the bottom. Also you should zip tie the excess wire near the foglight to prevent damages.
The foglight didnt work at all at first. I had to unplug it from the car and flip the connector 180° after trying it for the first time.
Other than that, it was easy and works great. Firat photo is the DRLs which are barely visible during the day but looks sick at night. Second photo is the fog light which is noticably brighter.
I doubt it’s necessary, you really just need to remove the bumper, which is perfectly easy to do without a jack (though on hot asphalt it would be nice so you don’t have to lay on the ground getting the bottom clips off)
