I believe JDM models had HID available from factory. Maybe a dying HID ballast on that one light?

I was going to direct you to an Outback forum as you’ll find a lot more 5EATs in the 3.6R Outbacks…but I see you’re already there https://www.subaruoutback.org/threads/subary-liberty-legacy-transmission-issue.566088/

Thought this was a pretty cool build…a 6MT swapped 2013 Forester XT… https://carsandbids.com/auctions/KdERqXJ1/2013-subaru-forester-25xt-touring?utm_source=ld&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=n

There is also one in the classifieds…not sure if still available.

That sounds odd…. Maybe a bad ground?

OP, some of the ‘10/11 legacies eat low beam bulbs and they are a PITA to change, so much so that SOA gave free headlight bulb replacements for first ten years. Maybe try some new bulbs? I had one recently that was noticeably dim for a week or two before it burned out completely. Someone has VLEDs for sale in the classifieds…

As GTeaser indicated the DRLs use the high beam bulbs. The small bulb in the high beam reflector is a parking/running/city light.

Brunzo, check with Braid. They made a 16" wheel that fit over STI Brembos which otherwise required 17"ers. Maybe they've got a similar spec'd 17" that would work... https://braidusa.com/pages/our-16-subaru-sti-wheel

Here in MD the semi annual emissions inspection is self service: pull up to a kiosk, scan registration card, swipe credit card, plug in OBD2 cable then it spits out the report. The visual and safety inspection is just once, required for initial registration.

SS, do you live somewhere requiring emissions inspections? I do. Curious if the state emissions OBD2 scan would be successful after putting the Outback VIN in the LGT ECU. I’d probably start with a same year 6MT OB as they lack the PZEV rating as does the LGT.

Rolled 140k miles today. There’s a blown up 5th gen in the classifieds.

Sweet, love me some used stock wheels! You doing hub swaps with the Brembos?

Installed low beam VLEDs. Tried for 30 minutes to do the driver side through the wheel well and just couldn’t get the bulb clip locked with the bulb seated correctly. Hands were getting cold so I gave up and pulled the bumper cover which I half expected to do based on comments here. While the bumper cover was off, I installed Hella horns that were waiting in the garage, took the bumper cover inside to heat it up and pop out a dent in the lip, and replaced one of the fender-to-bumper black connection thingys to cure the weekly bumper pop-out that has been occurring for a year.

Thanks for the tip! I missed those when I looked in there last night. My order already shipped, need them by the weekend.
