I'm glad the parts list is of help. I know that fog light switch was the real pain for everyone before. A lot of the same questions have occasionally popped up on this thread. I will clarify a couple of points. If you own a 5th gen the car is pre-wired for the fog lights.. All you need are the parts I listed if you don't already have factory fog lights on your car. You can likely use whatever suitable aftermarket fog light housing you prefer. I just posted the ones I bought and I'm happy with them. It is a very simple install requiring few parts and there really isn't anything to it other than what I posted. Use the PDF as a guide to get a better sense of what going on. Good to see this is getting used though.

More info on the LED bulbs?

I installed PIAA Xtreme white plus H7s. But I have the yellow lamin-x on the fogs. Still working great, I have no complaints and never been high beamed. The lamin-x is holding up great after 12,000kms of dirty winter highway driving at 120km/h every day.

Oh I misunderstood the question, didn't realize he was asking about changing the entire projector I thought it was just a general hid install in the factory housing question.

The most difficult part of HID installation is usually finding a suitable mounting location for the ballasts. The rest is basic wiring. Instructions and threads should walk you through that. The colour temp to match the LED fogs would be closer to 5000k from what I saw without the lamin-x, definitely white with no yellow. So 5k.

Testa, how are you liking the light output? With the brutal winter weather we have been getting up here this past week the added low light on the road has been a big help.

No they are separate in the box. Very easy to install, the lamin-x was smaller in diameter than the fogs but if you center it when applying the shroud/bezel on the car covers the exposed portion.

I'm happy with them, they're bright. The only limitation is how recessed the bezels are on the 5th Gen and how much of the lens the bezel covers. They would be far more effective mounted further forward with the lens fully exposed but i'm still not going to complain at all, they work great.

So we recently bought a 2010 Legacy fully loaded with everything except fog lights. I wanted to rectify this but didn't want to spend the $300 the dealership wanted for the factory fog light kit. I came across the Morimoto XB LED Type S (there is a type S that fits the Subaru and others, and a Type T fits Toyota and the like.) I decided i'd rather have the higher light output than the factory fogs and tried to round up the OEM components individually as I did not need the factory light housings/bulbs. I was told by a dealer that the mirror/fog light switch was ONLY available in the accessory kit, not on its own. I found this to be untrue when I found the parts elsewhere from a supplier in the U.S. (I was shipped the wrong factory blank switch initially but QuirkParts was very quick to rectify that and send me the proper switch at no charge. Excellent online pricing, best I found and great service btw.) The install was super easy, I will provide a detailed parts list with links to the required parts and pricing below. The morimoto fogs come with mounting bolts to fit the factory nut insert clips (clips not included). This is a great way to install a brighter fog light kit on your fifth Gen without having to buy the factory kit. If you already have fogs on your car the Morimoto LED fogs are plug and play and a direct fit with OEM fitment and wiring connections. The regular instructions supplied by Subaru at the following link work excellent: http://techinfo.subaru.com/proxy/72656/pdf/072656-072655-063750-H451SAJ000.pdf Parts required, quantity and price (this is for 2010 Model year): Morimoto LED XB Type S Fogs $160 (Qty: 1 set) Plus optional yellow Lamin-X ($10): http://www.theretrofitsource.com/led-lighting/morimoto-xb-led-fog-lights-type-s.html#.VFzZ5zSoq7s OEM Fog light/mirror switch $47.53 (Qty: 1) P/N H4510AJ000 http://www.quirkparts.com/oe-subaru/h4510aj000?search_str=H4510AJ000 OEM Fog light Trim insert for driver's side $23.22 P/N 57731AJ20A (Qty: 1) http://www.quirkparts.com/oe-subaru/57731aj20a?search_str=57731AJ20A OEM Fog light Trim insert for passenger side $23.22 P/N 57731AJ19A (Qty: 1) http://www.quirkparts.com/oe-subaru/57731aj19a?search_str=57731AJ19A OEM Fog lamp Assy Nut $0.64 P/N 902510034 (Qty: 2) http://www.quirkparts.com/oe-subaru/902510034?search_str=902510034 OEM Relay $4.73 P/N 82501AG05B (Qty: 1) http://www.quirkparts.com/oe-subaru/82501ag05b?search_str=82501AG05B Total cost: $269.98 plus shipping. Very few tools required, a 10mm socket to install the mounting bolt for the fog, a flat head screwdriver for removing the lower bumper shroud plugs, a smaller shorter flat head to release the mirror switch clips, a phillips for removing the one lower shroud plug and the dash trim at the mirror switch. The connectors on the fogs are already pre-wired and crimped on the wires all you have to do is determine polarity and then insert them into the supplied connector that matches the factory version. Take your time with a screwdriver lining up the connector pins when trying to connect the two plugs. Remove the two front plugs on the bottom of the bumper and the one phillips plastic plug facing the opposite direction inboard towards the engine. This gives enough space to get your hand behind the factory blank fog light opening covers, it doesn't take a ton of pressure to release the tabs and remove those black blanks. The rest of it is just following the instructions in the supplied PDF link at the top of this post. http://i.imgur.com/gIzOeMQl.jpg Morimoto fog installed: http://i.imgur.com/Nh054U3l.jpg Light color without Lamin-X: http://i.imgur.com/e0Ihf5il.jpg Installed with bezel and Lamin-X: http://i.imgur.com/eJ8bKHsl.jpg Factory Low Beam light output: http://i.imgur.com/5t63g6Dl.jpg Low beam and Fog: http://i.imgur.com/CpNOAahl.jpg http://i.imgur.com/PuZ35d2l.jpg The cut-off/output.
