working on a 94 Legacy L that came from factory w/o Cruise control an aftermarket cruise control was added by a subaru dealer back in like 97ish. the cruise control quit functioning. I was looking at similar year models and it doesn't look too hard to "transplant" the cruise control from on that has a factory install. the question is "do all the OEM ECU's contain the capability to operate the Cruise control or do I need to swap the ECU?

here's pix of final installed

I got a rain-x product from az. The McGuire kit was about twice the price. I finally got time to mount the r side light tonight.

which kit do you suggest?

the shape of the newer lights has a lot more curve to the lens than the old one so the grill doesn't fit from the old one.

I guess I could have just done this: would have been cheaper. Saw this in the parking lot.

the old ones had the plastic grill in front I havent tried to see if the grill will snap on the lights yet, it looks like the lights have the tabs to hold the grill. I'm not shure how much good that plastic does. the new lights are significantly heavier plastic reflector and front glass.

I had some trouble up loading pix on that last post. here are the pix of what I did.

well my lights came last night and I looked at the old bracket and the new bracket and figured out that with a little modification to the old bracket the new lamp would fit. I had to trim the beam angle adjustment screw bracket and drill out the tabs to a larger dia then mount the lamp in the old bracket. it worked a lot slicker than I first expected

I ordered a New set off ebay for a 2000 ish outback we'll see how my fab skills are over the weekend...

I'm looking to replace my busted drivers side fog light. every outback I have found in the salvage yard has the drivers side glass busted on the fog light. I'm looking at Ebay and also at other Subaru products and considering trying to put something newer in the hole. I'm wondering if anybody has the dimentions for 2000 and newer lamp with and without the bracket to see if it is a close enough fit to make it work.

change the front o2 sensor even if there isn't a code popping up for it?

not yet but looking into it. i keep getting the fuel trim bank 1 fault code. now why it keeps sending bank 1 and not bank 2 I don't know unless it only has "1" bank even though there are 2 heads and rails. how easy is that pump to get to? is it one I can access through a hole in the floor or do I have to drop the tank?

Got my o2 sensor installed. I think I've got everything resolved as far as the codes are concerned...

even when it is 40-50 degrees it does the same thing. (yes this am it was a balmy 2 degrees f when I left for work). all the locks work or they all don't. I can hear something click in that dash when I flip the lock on the drivers door. it almost acts like a relay that doesn't connect long enough to actually unlock the doors. it always locks them though. I need a good wiring diagram of the locking system... where do you get one with out having to trade the car in for the book?
