thanks guys

LOL....I guess I was a little vague....yes yes and yes. I was grounded,meter on dc. ign on. It was a couple weeks ago, I can't remember the actual color of which wire, however when I located the wire going to the high beam bulb I tested it. was getting 12 volts in the off position, and no volts in the on position. Of course it was only about 105 dgrees outside in the shade and I was a bit irratable. I was just asking before I try and tackle this again if anyone knows which wire will give me power for highbeam on activation. Maybe I will just grab it from the relay side. Thanks

01 Outback Wagon I am trying to mount and wire a pair of driving lights with a relay onto the hot side of the highbeam so when the highbeams are activated the driving lights come on. Anyone have any ideas.....I found three (3) wire going to the lamp assembly. I tested each one and cannot find 12 volts when activated on the meter. I did notice that in the relay box under the hood on the right side has separate left and right headlamp assembly relay fuses. I just need to 12 volts to activate the driving lights. anyone?? thanks darren

Thanks Ranger, printed that bad boy out and stuffed it in my glove box. I won't be having any problems knowing what bulb to use now.....

Again, Does anyone know the part# and watts of the low beam headlights of an 01' OBW. I have read threads on how to replace, but nothing on here about the model # or upgrades to a higher output. While I'm asking, has anyone upgraded the foglights to a higher output and knows the # they used? Thanks, Darren

both...the headlights and the foglight, they are working, but I was wondering if anyone has upgraded to a brighter bulb.

I have searched and I know that there was a thread in here around Jan about the "headlight replacement" with I believe silver star. My headlight went out, I went to AutoZone and they say they don't have a replacement light for my model. WHAT? Just need to know if anyone remembers the thread or the answer. Also was wondering if anyone has upgraded to a h3 or h4 bulb to replace the foglights. thanks darren

I just had my 02 outback wagon windows tinted about a month ago and I love it. I tinted the back hatch, back sides and left and right rear door windows with limo tint. I left the front doors alone. Its great. I was having problems at night with the rearview mirror sensor being blocked by the middle headrest from drivers lights behind me. (sensor should have been on the top of the mirror) But now I'm not blinded by the light from the rear. I spent 200 on the job and they only quoted me 170. Incintive. However, they have been around for quite a while. Kar Kraft, Sanford NC on the east coast. Have not had any problems on the bubbles or around the black bubbles in the back side glass either. And it looks great! I made them take off the AWD stickers before they tinted. Darren

does this mean there are none available...someones bound to make some money on this type of item if theres none to be found.... thanks guys..

Can anyone help me in locating either a nudge bar or full front bush guard bar. I did find one site in australia with the nudge bar however for the price he wants for just the nudge bar I could make two house payments. I have three pencil beam rallye 8" that I would like to mount on the front of my outback. Sorry I have been gone so long from the board but I have been teaching a class and away from civilization. thanks, darren.

You are now My new bestest soob friend!!!! I am from Atlantic Beach and I am a surfer turned Big time Kite Surfer now. I havent been since last year, recouping from four broken ribs. (another story) However its nice to know another beach lover soobie. As far as the OBX "Outer Banks, NC" whoever was asking, I'm with you on that, I have 2 new outbacks however I am currently ISO an 81-82 brat to recondition. As far as the kite surfing, my 12 yr old son has talked me into taking up kayaking, so here I go. Please include me in any gatherings by the soobies in the future and if I can get off from work. COnsider yourself added as a soob buddy!

Uh oh!! I'm the same way, "OMG, an option I don't have on my outback, I gotta get that, just not fair"! I just can't stand it. LOL fnlyfnd, would you start a thread if you find that we can find the rear heated seats and they work on the us spec cars. thanks darren

Well I keep reading about the different runs here and get together there, but they seem to be on the wrong side of the tracks, the left side. what about the right side soobs?................just wonderin'. If I had the time I would love to drive to oregon, washington or montana. I would be worn out by the time I drove all that way......:-\ Just a thought...... darren

LOL............. sand and snow......

it sounds as if you are really worked up about this, now just to ask, have you tried using brand new out of the package bulbs yet? I had a similar prob that happened and it drove me insane underneath the bumper with my meter and tester and following wires....until I finally just went to the back and put in brand new bulbs.................they worked. Simple is always where I start after that. One thing I will say, if your getting power at the brake pedal button, I would use the tester on down the line, remember, current runs like water in a pipe, follow your current until you narrow your source down. Darren

I just read this thread, I am all for improvements and whatnot, however, is there not a limit on an improvement, how much brighter and more powerful can we make these things,{legally}. I'm all for brightness, when there is no other vehicles coming towards me, most people we know are considerate enough to properly use these high power lights. But why do people run fog/driver lights continuously when no fog is present or not properly aimed, sometimes it makes me want to install aircraft landing lights on the front of my soobie. Sorry, soapbox......let me step off..... Even the newer model vehicles coming off the line with the high power driving lights are just a joy to look at driving down the road. Its like looking directly at the sun. And another thing,,,,,,why is it that the "driving lights" are wired in vehicles to stay on while using the dim lights and go off when u use bright lights, Is this a little backwards, if u need brightness/assistance from the "driving lights" wouldn't it be more useful if they would come on while using the High beams? No......lets have them stay on while using dim lights and blind oncoming drivers.....maybe it will attract a car to hit you head on. I wonder how many traffic crashes, (accidents) LOL, are actually caused at night by oncoming drivers being blinded by these wonderfully bright lights. U know how it goes, your blinded by oncoming so you look down at the fog line, "white Line" to try and keep your bearing on the road, but wait, you end up off the roadway, oversteer, overcorrect, and loose it into the trees, ditch, another vehicle, off a cliff. All because your trying not to burn the retina in your eye. Meanwhile, the person with the extra bright white sunstar headlights and driving lights are drivin on down the road oblivious to the fact that oncoming traffic thinks that they made a wrong turn somewhere and are now driving straight towards the sun. Sorry again.....soap box....I won't let it happen again..... I guess its not the products fault, lets be a little more courtious to each other..... Darren

thanks to everybody....I might just have to go on a road trip soon if I don't get any snow soon. thanks again guys
