96-99 Fog Light Alternative

Featured Replies

Anyone ever use these ebay fog lights? I can't get a link to work but they are aftermarket and only around 50 bucks...called "lancaster ltd" ...thinking about giving them a shot...

i have subaru genuine oem foglight kit, all wiring, dash switch, all the way subaru wanted you to do it. 60 plus shipping. shipping will be 10.00

i believe his are the square fogs for the impreza and legacy GT, the outback are the 6inch round ones. you can put some Hella 500's in the stock place.

Do you know if the Hella's use the same bulb as the outback fog light? It would be nice to just plug them in....

Cheapo replacements. I've done this a couple of times and it works well.

 

Hit the junkyard and get two round head lights low beam and the plugs and about 6" of wiring.

 

Remove the Outback Headlights.

Remove the Plastic Grill

Remove the Glass foglight lense, they will just pull off from the center of the broken lense. Wear leather gloves.

Remove the pivots and screw holding the mount on the reflector

Take a dremel tool and cut out the back center of the plastic reflector

Take the Low beam and put it in with the connectors on the same line as the mount holes

Mark the low beam locating tabs and remove material for those to set into.

Silcone seal the new bulbe in

The grill can be heated to about 250 to soften the plastic and then put it right over the new bulb.

 

Electrical connections can be made from the used wiring and the old bulb. Cutt the Subaru bulb off the socket. You will see two pins there, use some connectors and solder the low beam wires + & - to the Subaru socket. This makes them a plug and play.

 

Put it all back together. New Low Beams are $8.00

That is a slick idea. I will have to remember this!
