07 2.5i Fog Light Options / Suggestions
Hey,
My car did not come with OEM fogs so I am thinking about putting some on and wonder what suggestions you guys might have. #1 Is there any aftermarkets that can go in the where the OEM's would have been? #2 I am not looking to spend hundreds on fog lights, just something clean looking, that will be functional and semi durable and I don't mind changing bulbs every so often. #3 I am not a wiring guru so I hope fogs are something that can be easily done without have to do tons of wiring. #4 Any particular brands and or models that you have used that might fit the bill. Thanks.

I am pretty sure they will be pretty darn expensive, I can't even find them online to see what they cost? Why in that photo is there 1 fog light hole empty and the other is covered solid with no fog??

I assume those would mount in the air damn, not the stock fog light locations? I assume the wiring is not that hard?? |

wiring is simple all you have to do is get a relay and switch from another subaru and get connectors or small male spade connectors for the stock fog plugs.
if you can make a bracket, you can fit them in the stock locations... it all depends on the bracket. you can also put them in front of the radiator, whatever works. |

Anyone ever fit Hella Micro DE in there? I have them on my Saabaru, and they're an absolutely perfect fit.

I was looking at those as well on rallylights website. I can't decide which ones to get, I still have to pull of the fog light cover and see what mounting options are there.

In my case, I got very lucky as someone already did this on the 92x, and had a very nice detailed PDF write up I could print out and use as a guide. . there was a hole on either side for the factory lights that I used, and it ended up just about perfectly centering the lights, and they're set back and concealed. I used my factory bezels but cut the "mesh" out, and it worked well.... I think the 06-07 has a similar small fog stock, so results may be similar. . These are the best fogs I've ever had, without a doubt. They actually help in poor weather, rather than just look neat. . I guess you may need to purchase the stock fog surround / bezel to make it work... An interesting aside that I haven't confirmed yet... the stock 92x fogs are LGT fogs. Not sure if that will help with mounting. |

I pulled each fog light cover, there seems to be a socket behind each one, I assume that is the wiring for the OEM fog lights, just don't know how I would wire aftermarkets into those sockets unless I cut off the sockets and wire from there. I assume I would be better off wiring and not using the OEM harness/socket? |
