outrigger Posted August 23, 2019 Share Posted August 23, 2019 Anyone had experience with these? For SUBARU Outback Legacy I've gone over my originals twice with a mothers nulens kit, and polished them right up, and it certainly helped, but can't deal with the weird hazing and micro cracking inside that I guess is just part and parcel of nearly 10 years in the sun. New headlights are not in the budget, especially in Aus where parts are stoopid dollars (fuel pump? $1000. FML). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scubaboo Posted August 23, 2019 Share Posted August 23, 2019 (edited) Nice find! I was gonna say just check for fitment as US is different from pretty much everywhere but since you mentioned you are from Oz, it should work for you. It's a no-brand replacement lens though, so actual fit is a crapshoot. Do let us know if you give it a try.

moral hazard Posted August 23, 2019 Share Posted August 23, 2019 $1000 fuel pump? Could have got 3 decent aftermarket upgraded E85 compatible pumps for that price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starks Posted August 23, 2019 Share Posted August 23, 2019 I've been wondering if I can just find these separate. Good catch! Sent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrD123 Posted August 24, 2019 Share Posted August 24, 2019 1 AUS$ = 0.68 US$. List price for a fuel pump for the 12 LGT is 369.96 US$, or 547.85 AUS$ - so looks like prices carry a x2 markup there? ouch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A_A_ron Posted August 27, 2019 Share Posted August 27, 2019 You should just start buying through one of us Freedomfolk and having it shipped over there. Build Thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moral hazard Posted August 28, 2019 Share Posted August 28, 2019 No idea why anyone would buy a factory fuel pump, DW300c is $259 down under dollarydoos: https://www.gotitrex.com.au/dw300c But for other parts that you actually do need genuine (gaskets etc), I'd order from partsouq.

Alexmed2002 Posted August 30, 2019 Share Posted August 30, 2019 Because the oem pump has a better track record of reliability. Personally I would go for a factory fuel pump too, if I ever needed a new one. Plus you would probably get a good warranty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moral hazard Posted August 31, 2019 Share Posted August 31, 2019 Could probably get a low mileage stock fuel pump for free from many forum members who upgrade when they go E85. I've thrown 2 directly in the bin when I went with E85. And if they are so reliable, why did you find the need to replace it for $1K... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
