Impulse Posted September 1, 2006 Share Posted September 1, 2006 ummm, theres lots of white connectors underneath, you sure that was the correct one? i have the 06 and i think it said DRL on the thing you plug into, but i do not know if they have changed it for the 07 model Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
20lgt06 Posted September 1, 2006 Author Share Posted September 1, 2006 its the correct one because the drl are off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimbizzle Posted September 1, 2006 Share Posted September 1, 2006 same thing happens on my 07. no DRLs = no fog lights and no high beam. I found an old post about snipping the brown wire that controls the DRLs http://www.legacygt.com/forums/showpost.php?p=365165&postcount=20 not sure if it would work for MY07s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr_luv Posted September 1, 2006 Share Posted September 1, 2006 You may have unplugged the wrong one, if the wrong plug is gone you will lose highs and fogs but LOW/DRLs will stay on. Mr.350 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im going to check again, thanks for the help, i will take pics under there if there is only one connector, if so subaru did change things on the the 2007 . i guess i have to wait for someone to figure out how to hard wire them some how Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmorrisj Posted September 3, 2006 Share Posted September 3, 2006 the drl box on my 05 is on the firewall above/behind the clutch.... it may be a different procedure for 07's.... what HID kit did you get? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Repsak Posted September 4, 2006 Share Posted September 4, 2006 yeah it seems like they rewired it, which is odd.... you might have to do some wire tapping to test how it works and go from there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
20lgt06 Posted September 5, 2006 Author Share Posted September 5, 2006 Okay, there is 1 white plug and when you unplug it, it turns off the DRL but hibeam and fogs dont work. I had to cut the BROWN wire which disables the low beam drl but the park lights remain on. (Thanks to the previous post ) I didnt want the park lights on so i tested the wires and cut the blue with black strip, which disables the park lights drl. all is good im happy. next mod sti front lip and perrin axel back on its way in the mail Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Impulse Posted September 5, 2006 Share Posted September 5, 2006 yea they do, thats how i drained the battery on the car the first day i got it...at the dealer's lot. went home and disabled the DRL an hour later. i might try to see if i can get the foglights to act as DRLs now just for safety's sake Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gator GT Posted October 21, 2006 Share Posted October 21, 2006 I didn't pay much attention to the wire colors when I was under there...but what connector are the 'wires to be snipped' bundled with?
