LGT Dave Posted November 27, 2007 Share Posted November 27, 2007 I'm pretty sure they are. That info is in your owner's manual in the Changing Bulbs chapter of the Maintenance and Service section if you'd like to really be sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bbc84 Posted November 27, 2007 Share Posted November 27, 2007 They are H7 and the fogs are 9006. I went with 6000k H7 and 3000k fogs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agnt86 Posted November 27, 2007 Share Posted November 27, 2007 I'm pretty sure they are. That info is in your owner's manual in the Changing Bulbs chapter of the Maintenance and Service section if you'd like to really be sure. Actually, the owners manual for the 2008 says the the fog light bulbs are H3, but when you pop one out you find that they are actually 9006. The low beams are H7 and the high beams are 9005.

Zed 2.0 Posted November 27, 2007 Share Posted November 27, 2007 4500k is a good color choice. I have 5000k and they're just blue enough to get the wrong kind of attention. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bbc84 Posted November 28, 2007 Share Posted November 28, 2007 WHAT? i just ordered some h3 Bulbs yea its 9006. I ordered H7 and H3 HID kits, took off my bumper and headlights to do blackhousing, and I was pissed when i found out that my fogs were 9006.

GTS Jeff Posted November 30, 2007 Share Posted November 30, 2007 Don't bother with HIDs on the fogs and hibeams...use HIR bulbs 9005 = 9011HIR 9006 = 9012HIR Simple bulb replacement, really bright, no hassles of wiring some shoddy made in China ebay HID kit, only to have it fail cuz the ballast isn't watertight or something stupid like that.

Agnt86 Posted November 30, 2007 Share Posted November 30, 2007 A specific type of bulb. Look here. Replaces your high beams, with a little modification. Details on the modification are here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spect2k Posted December 1, 2007 Share Posted December 1, 2007 sorry for the ignorance here....I thought the 08 GT headlights were HIDs....Are they halogens or something? My 08 spec B don't look like standard halogens, but I don't know much about this... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edekba Posted December 1, 2007 Share Posted December 1, 2007 ... Legacy dont have HID. All Halogens... only subaru w/HID are the STi i think. But yeah the 08 headlights are quite bright, but they're still just H7 Halogens Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SubLGTaru Posted December 4, 2007 Share Posted December 4, 2007 I'm looking to upgrade my bulbs on my 07 LGT. I want a nice yellow bulb for the fogs, probably an HIR bulb. I want a nice crisp white beam from the lows and highs, any recommendations for these? I'm not going the HID route, just wanting to get some really good bulb replacement upgrades. Any recommendations would be great! Thanks in advance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any recommendations would be great! Thanks in advance! This is the basic "best you can get" for the current Subaru Legacy vehicles. Low Beams (Plug-and-Play) High Beams (Slight modification necessary, should probably disable DRL also) Fogs (Models using H3 bulbs) Fogs (Models using 9006 bulbs) I believe the 2007 uses H3 bulbs for the fogs, but you should confirm that before buying anything. 2008 models definitely use the 9006 bulb type for the fogs.

Sorry, I didn't word my post properly. I know what the replacement bulb #'s are, I'm just trying to see what the best replacement bulb brand and model of bulbs are. For example, I want a bright white low beam and high beam, and I would like a really nice crisp yellow bulb for the fogs. What are any recommendations from anyone that has replacement bulbs. Just want to get the best pretty much that I can get with just replacing the bulbs. Let me know, thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edekba Posted December 5, 2007 Share Posted December 5, 2007 You mean HIR or whateva kind of bubls? I got PIAA Ion Crystals for fogs ...they're yellow/amber w/some hints of blue in the center. PIAA Xtreme White for lowbeams ... those look nice. and PIAA GTX for high. Dont use those very much, but when i do they're nice and bright/white Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dont use those very much, but when i do they're nice and bright/white Do you have the HIR bulbs, or are those just the regular replacement bulbs? I used to have PIAA in my civic, but my civic didn't have projector headlights, I noticed a little bit of a difference. How do you like the fogs? Are they pretty yellow when standing away from the car and looking at them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
