hoovman Posted February 16, 2006 Share Posted February 16, 2006 One thing that aggrevates me in my 05 OBW 2.5i Limited is that the stupid lock switches are unlit! I hate the fact that I can't SEE if the doors are locked or unlocked and I can never remember which way to throw the switch to lock/unlock! I've been thinking about surface-mounting an LED (with appropriate resistor) in the doorwell near the door handle and wiring it to the headlights. Has anyone done this?

nipper Posted February 16, 2006 Share Posted February 16, 2006 ive been wanting too, just havent figured out how yet in my 97 OBW. My problem isnt the door locks (alarm takes care of that) but the window switches. nipper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtsmiths Posted February 16, 2006 Share Posted February 16, 2006 I think you guys are just dyin' for a project. How long does it take to memorize the location and position of six switches anyhow? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daehttub2000 Posted February 16, 2006 Share Posted February 16, 2006 Let me guess, you've already gone to Home Depot/Lowes to install illuminated light switches in your house... There are things that Subaru used to do to keep their costs down in their older wagons. As a long time Subie owner, I've just learned to cope with the short cuts on the interior. Having an aftermarket interior light and carrying a small makeup mirror for a wife/girlfriend for starters : ) Of course, you could pay twice as much for an Audi AWD wagon to get all the nice touches but you'll rarely get to enjoy them as your Audi will be in the shop all the time. My local Audi dealer has an airport style minibus for their service customers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nipper Posted February 17, 2006 Share Posted February 17, 2006 Have you ever tried to explain to a 78 yo women (mom) where the switches are? i prefer the lights. After a (sigh) second back surgery im relying on her more then i like, and i cant really reach across to show her where they are. nipper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
