FLASHMSTRC Posted June 26, 2007 Share Posted June 26, 2007 I've seen many threads regarding bulbs, fog lights, and low beam headlight bulb changes. However, nothing on how to change the Parking Light/Turn Signal bulb. I see where they would be, but have no idea how to get there, can I get some help on that. Already looking to change the low beams to Piaa Spark H7's and Ion Crystal H3's in the fog lights. Most likely putting Silverstar Reflective Bulbs in the Parking Light/Turn Signal. That way I can get a reflective look with still an orange signal once I clear the headlight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hanger Posted June 26, 2007 Share Posted June 26, 2007 Turn the wheels to the side, then reach in the plastic guard and you're there or take out the battery and the intake assembly i'm pretty sure there's a thread for it ○ ○ ○ Instagram: itshangertime :spin: ○ ○ ○ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you could find the thread that would be great, I've search for a few days now... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hanger Posted June 26, 2007 Share Posted June 26, 2007 hmm when you turn the wheel all the way, you'll have plenty of space to reach in the plastic guard from the wheel well, and reach in to get the bulbs out. PITA to do it this way tho swap the bulbs out when you clear your headlights FTW ○ ○ ○ Instagram: itshangertime :spin: ○ ○ ○ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fonts Posted June 27, 2007 Share Posted June 27, 2007 I just cleared my headlights this weekend and installed Silverstar turn signal lamps. Piece of cake - but removed the entire headlight assembly at the time. I agree with Hanger - change the lamps when you clear the headlights. There is probably no point in putting in the Silverstars if you still have the stock reflectors anyways ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fonts Posted June 28, 2007 Share Posted June 28, 2007 I certainly do. Out of town right now but back home tomorrow. I'll likely be able to get pics up by Friday for you. Looks incredible and virtually now cost to do. Did take some work to open up the headlight assembly though but well worth it in my opinion.

FLASHMSTRC Posted July 2, 2007 Author Share Posted July 2, 2007 http://i194.photobucket.com/albums/z145/subaru_terrence2/IMG_1970.jpg Very sharp looking, any night pictures? Did you paint your housing at all other than the already blacked out portion? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhilT Posted July 2, 2007 Share Posted July 2, 2007 No night pictures, sorry. Housings are completely stock, all I did was remove the amber reflectors. Double Award Winning Legacy GT Wagon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FLASHMSTRC Posted July 2, 2007 Author Share Posted July 2, 2007 That looks perfect, love the eyelids, wish I had the money for them right now. Looks like you painted the housing black when you cleared them as well, am I right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, and we did it on Thanksgiving Eve (8 hours job), and i wasn't able to pick up the Silverstars until 2 days later and it was a PITA to get them swap by reaching in from the wheel well, so do them at the same time, and it'll be a piece of cake ○ ○ ○ Instagram: itshangertime :spin: ○ ○ ○ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hanger Posted July 2, 2007 Share Posted July 2, 2007 hmm i'll take "nasty" = "hot" oh, neither of our headlights or foglights were turned out, it was just the reflection cause by the camera's flash light but to answer your question, i have the stock bulb with http://www.hotsubaru.com yellow foglight overlay. ○ ○ ○ Instagram: itshangertime :spin: ○ ○ ○ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
