  1. I'm pretty sure that Morimoto makes a complete fog lamp replacement for the Legacy. It's optimized for the LED beam too.
  2. We are talking about that feature. Not looking disable the fogs, only the steering responsive feature. I'm glad you like it, but some of us don't.
  3. Great info, thanks again! I've spent some time with this today and here's what I've found: - the two (L&R) fog fuses in the main fuse box (under the hood) are likely needed for fog operation, regardless of whether or not the vehicle has SRF. - it appears, based on the diagram, the signal wires to the fog relay are different, depending on SRF equipped or not. I say this because the diagram shows signal wires to the relay in two positions, but there is only one fog lamp relay in the fuse box. - based on the second diagram; there shows a 7.5a fuse associated with the SRF module. I pulled that fuse and it also kills the fogs and HID headlight leveling system. I'm starting to believe this is impossible, with the electronics so integrated as they are on these cars. Thanks again for the research and information! Hoppy
  4. Full disclosure; I'm an Outback owner. I hang out here too, as much of the stuff is the same. On the Outback, the fogs are only adjustable for height. It takes a Phillips screwdriver.
  5. Outstanding information, thanks very much! I'm wondering if the non-eyesight equipped 3.6, which has HID, has a different fog light module than the SRF cars? If it does, it may be as easy as a module swap. I'll try the fuses when I get time, but I'm guessing they exist for non SRF cars too. In the meantime, I installed some VLED brand LED bulbs in the fogs. I also aimed them, as they were all wonky from the factory. The bulb color makes them less noticeable as I'm driving, but disabled is still my goal. Thanks again. I'll update when I know more. :cheers:
  6. Thanks! If you care to investigate further and solve my dilemma, I'll buy dinner. Alternately, would you be able to post an image for reference?
  7. I'd never run 20's on this car. I nice 18" setup would be ideal. There is a good article that discusses the trade offs as you move to +1, +2, +3 setups. In general, the wheel & tire combo gets heavier and the performance gains are negligible. Acceleration suffers and with the stock suspension on these cars, you won't be doing anything good moving to 19 or 20. Also, when wheel shopping I always look at the weight and then the styles available. Unsprung weight is the enemy, especially if you have the 2.5. Edit: ignore the above if you're only after looks. ;-)
  8. So....you were in a alley with a dude, you said yes, then got a taste in your mouth. You were new and this and now you're worried about your baby. Did I get that right?
  9. No. The Steering Responsive Fogs cannot be disabled, so I no longer believe in dreams coming true.
  10. Here's the response from Subaru: ------------------ Thank you for contacting Subaru of America, Inc. We appreciate you taking time out of your day to contact us. I am sorry to learn of your disappointment with this feature. There is no setting available to disable this feature.

Thank you for the opportunity to be of assistance. ---------------- * I suppose the more inquiries they receive the more likely a software tweak could occur.
  11. On the Outback forums there are many reports of wheel bearing failures, mostly 2015 and some 2016 models.
