Without the switch they will never turn on.

You need the switch on the top if you want to use the factory wiring.

just wire the fogs yourself. its easy. buy a 20a inline fuse and a switch and some wire. connect the inline fuse to the positive battery terminal and run it into the cabin to the switch. then you need to run a wire from the switch to the front of the car where you connect it with the positive terminal on both foglights. for the grounds just wire the two together and run them to the negative terminal on the battery or there is a perfect little spot right in the middle of the car right under the bumper support beam. thats how i did mine and never had a problem, even when i was running HID's in them

So I got some 05 OBS wheels to put on my car. Finally getting rid of those ugly steelies. They were pretty dirty and pitted so I had them sandblasted instead of slaving away and sanding them myself:

Before:





30% blasted:



75% done:

You just quoted an almost 7 year old post.

Why would you think he would need camber bolts? Those are stock wheels and the car isn't even that low.

Long story short, I only got $180 for a $700 job.

So I looked around and noticed that front lip spoiler completely covers the small hole in my bumper. I just ordered that with the $$, and installed it myself. I kept my quality Subaru part and insurance paid most of a front lip spoiler. All I had to get besides that were those plastic bumper suports underneath that got smashed but they were cheap.

Yeah 2.5i's are begging for a spoiler and grill. It completely transformed my car. Love it. Much cleaner and sportier, especially in real life.. Pics look good, but real life these cars lok better than in pics I have noticed.
Yeah, I have a $500 deductible too, tire put the small hole in the same part probably (bottom open piece with a few plastic vertical and horizontal pieces [sorry dont know technical term ]), as well as taking the lip and ripping it into 3 pieces and damaging the liners underneath. Long story shorter $1,500 in damages...

But they do make it look 1000 times better. Even in the pictures it looks better... I requested a new front lip/bumper from HT Autos here, http://forums.nasioc.com/forums/show....php?t=2253025, still waiting on it! There is a bunch of us (N/A owners) that are in the market for them too!!

Im a total nub to this stuff, I was just interested in lowering, and someone just asked me about camber bolts and said I might need them. So i was just researching around. but going off your post I guess I dont need them.

HURLEY, Real quick, before you post (as somewhat of a noob still myself) check out the respective threads for your mods, talking about lowering, there are many lowering and "stanced" threads out there (SEARCH FOR THEM). There are also a lot of people that will get on you for searching because there is information that has been covered many times. That is all. Im sure you can get your answer one way or another.

If you got the signal stalk there would be no splicing at all. Plug in lights, plug in new stalk (you MAY need to add the front fog relay, not sure if that's there on all cars or not)...and flip the switch. Plug and play.

I don't want OEM lights, just afternarkets that turn on/off like the stock ones.

I think I'm going to buy the Subaru fog light kit that comes with the stalk switch, and then just switch out the bulbs for better ones.

Why didn't they just make a lip that attaches to the bottom of the rear bumper instead of cover half of it up?

Anyway, sorry, not knockin' your car cuz the rest looks awesome!

Hey guys looked through all the forums and couldn't find the proper place to put this.

But yesterday i noticed a rattle or vibrating coming from below the passenger side seat/ door area i got out looked under the car didn't really see anything noticeably wrong, as i was getting in my car today i noticed there was a huge crack in my passenger side skirt towards the front wheel;"


I then proceeded to look under the car where i notice that every single connector holding the side-skirt up somehow snapped off and i have no idea why.






I do not drive like an idiot, i have never hit a curb, any major potholes or anything, after i noticed everything snapped under the skirt i reached under and the whole inside was filled with ice, and once i removed it the rattle and vibrations were gone.

I was wondering if this was covered under warranty becasue like i said i have not damaged it myself and have no idea how it happened to me it seems to to either be ****ty material or improper installation as you can see that one of the supports has not even been screwed in at all and is just bent outwards. All this was done at the dealership so im thinking something is wrong there.

Could this have happened due to improper installation or even ice build up weighing down on the skirt?.

Sorry in advance for this as it is definitely in the wrong section but i figured with everyone here i could get an answer quick before i brought my car in for an appointment on Thursday.
