6th Gen Lighting Threads

Got the C-Lights installed today. Don't have a before pic but here they are installed. Much brighter than the stock C-Lights.

Here is a video showing the C-Lights as turn signals. The installer left the old signals hooked up but I don't like the old signals working with the C-Lights, so I am going to get the old signals disabled. Tell me what you think.

 

Looks good!

But I agree - disable the OEM halogen turn signals

And perhaps put white LED bulbs in there and use them as additional DRLs?

That would be a unique look!

The first pic shows the daylight setup. The C-Lights come on and my high beams come on as my DRL. I replaced the halogen high beams with LED's, so they are very bright! No need to add more light for daytime use

Night time video of the lights and I removed the original signal light bulbs. The brightness of the lights kind of washed out the video but it gives you an idea of the brightness.

One last video of the C-Lights without the headlights on. Shows how signal lights will look. They are a much brighter yellow in person.

I'm hoping to order some Morimoto fogs soon but since I don't have foglights now I also need to get the shrouds, button, etc. I know the wiring is all in place and that it is more or less just hooking everything up, but I am having some trouble finding a list of what all is needed apart from the actual light housings themselves.

Is there a full kit somewhere, or do I just have to try to piece everything together and hope I don't miss something?

And for the record, I have read through most of the fog light threads I can find, but haven't been able to find the answer anywhere.

Subaru parts has a $270 fog kit

Though it's better to piece it together yourself and get the bulbs and stuff you want.

It's available here on our website: 2015-2016 Subaru Legacy Tail as Turn™ +Backup Module (Pair)

 

Thanks!

Will this work on 2017's? I presume it will, but, wanted to check?

Yes % will on 2017 I have it on mine

^^Nice. Thanks. I think the rear kit is the way to go with the reverse light as well. Just curious if that's the route you took? If so, how's it look, overall?

Yes thats route I took with reverse light

I ordered from Diode Dynamics on the 19th and 10 days later the order still says fulfilling. Has anyone ordered from them recently?

My guess is that they are busy with SEMA. Just saw a video from them there

Sorry about the delayed response, you are correct! We just returned from the 2017 SEMA show. (Today is actually my first day in the office since Oct. 26th)

These unique items are produced in-house here in St. Louis, so occasionally we may have a production lead time on a particular item.

I bought and just installed the iJDMTOY LED plug and play bulbs with resistors. Easy install, less than 10 minutes. Here is a video of the before and after. Not a huge difference but the LED's are definitely brighter and fill up the housing with light better.

Local DD installer quoted-

$160 - opening and sealing of headlights for C-light switchbacks installed

$200 - RGB demon eyes

$150-$200 flat black/gloss black painted housings.

Also have to add $160 for purchasing the switchbacks on your own. Thoughts on pricing?

You can actually install the Dd demon eyes without opening headlights

Ignoring the demon eyes, does the quote seem reasonable? It would be ~$310-$360 without cost of the c-lights factored in.

I think that’s a bit high,but I really wouldn’t know since I did all the install on my own.

That's amazing if it's true. I know it's possible for some vehicles, but it would certainly be news to me on the Legacy. Don't want to steer anyone the wrong direction, but that merits a follow up.

Thank you for mentioning that

Hello,

Beware of Xenonpro.com

This is my first post and I just wanted to warn anyone looking for alternative headlights to the factory halogens to avoid this website.

I googled "LED Headlights" and Xenonpro is one of the first on the list that comes up as a result. I enter the website and begin shopping around. "9,500 5 star reviews" is one of the first banners you see on their website, so it must be good, right? I find the LED Headlight section and they have three options, 25W, 35W, and 45W. These bulbs are advertised as:

"XenonPro.com provides you Latest Generation LED Headlights Kits. Our LED kits are manufactured to the highest quality standards ISO 9001-2000. We only use premium German Bulbs & Drivers. Extremely simple and quick installation, plug and play."

And a lifetime warranty! Sounds great! I purchase the 35W bulbs and they arrive in two days after ordering.

At the bottom of this post (still trying to figure out how to structure posts) on the left is what I received, and on the right is what is advertised.

Red flag #1 goes up. But this isn't the first time I've bought something online and something that looks different shows up, especially with car parts, so I let it go. I install one side and check them out. Inside the housing, the light looks great, but the light didn't travel further than 10 feet from the front of the car. The next morning, I e-mail them and ask for advice if the 45W would solve this problem or if I should be using HIDs. I get a response saying I should be talking to their "Help Chat" found on the website. So I do and ask the same question and I am told that the 45W would travel further and I'd be happy. So I ask to return the 35W and I'm told to order the 45W, which I do. I inform the representative I placed my order and he issues an RMA to me and states he will waive the restocking fees (red flag #2, I wasn't aware of any restocking fees during purchase, return policy is stated in a separate part of the website, away from where you do your ordering). The return address? Quebec, Canada. An Apartment building. Maybe just a small operation or something (Red Flag 3#) I had looked on their website about where they were located and they have an address in North Carolina, why couldn't I ship it back there? Everything was feeling really weird to me at this point but I pressed forward. Shipped the bulbs back, costing me $23.

Two days after the new bulbs show up. They look exactly the same except these ones are missing the sticker that states the wattage on the driver. Now I am feeling like a fool. I plug them in, they look exactly the same. I began investigating online on my own and go back to google images and type in "LED Headlights" and find the exact same bulbs from the producing company called Prima - http://www.ledcarlightbar.com/sale-9539644-4000lm-h11-led-headlight-bulb-6000k-cold-white-40w-power-aluminium-alloy.html

I explore Prima's website(Factory in Guangzhou, China) and see they don't even offer a 45W option. But these bulbs look exactly the same as the ones I pictured at the bottom.

The next morning, I contact their Help Chat, here's a transcript:

Louis C

hi

how may i help?

XenonPro Customer

I would like to return order #130012636. I ordered the 35W the first time and returned those because they did not adequately work in my factory housing on my vehicle. I tried the 45W and same problem.

Louis C

ok sure no problem

i would just need to mention that restocking fees would have to be deducted from the refund

of both orders

XenonPro Customer

So, you mean to tell me, $50 in shipping of product that I was unsatisfied with, and on top of the shipping cost, you want to deduct even more money from me and I am left empty handed with no product that I am satisfied with?

Louis C

did you read the return policy prior to purchasing?

XenonPro Customer

And you waived the first restocking fee from the first order, correct? And now, that I have to return the second set of lights, that exclusion is now voided?

Louis C

that is correct

the restocking fees were waived because you placed a new order

now that its going back, both orders need to be deducted the restocking fees.

the RMA has been issued

you should receive it shorlty in your inbox

look out for it in your junk mail as it may end up in there

I'll save you the rest of me protesting the restocking fees for both orders, if it had been fees for one set, I'd have chalked it up to a learning experience. But for both? I spent a total of $320 for both sets of lights and their restock fee is 20%. So they were going to collect $64 in restocking fees, on top of the $46 I spent sending back both sets of bulbs.

This has been a sh*t show. Maybe I am completely in the wrong but when I spoke to my card issuer, they said I have a good case to dispute this. I should have read the forums before launching this endeavor because I've come to the conclusion to just do an HID conversion and be happy. Sorry for the long post, but I just want to help people from falling in the same hole as me with this company.
