Speaking of ambient lighting.. ive been thinking the car is unusually dark inside at night (coming from a vw touareg which is lit up like a Christmas tree inside)
Ive been thinking leds in the door pull cubby would be nice!

The current Impreza is big by my standards, and has too many doors. Dont get me wrong. I like the Impreza just fine, other than the seats and oil issue. But had it been available as a shorter two door, I'd have rather had that. The Focus, I'm not so much a fan of anymore. I had a first-gen and loved it. But yeah, I'd love to test drive a light little hatch with 200+hp. May even trade for one if the price is right. |

i was thinking the same, just need to find a power source in the door, but i don't think there are any switched power sources there.

If there was a way to have it light with the headlight switch that would be ideal..

for the rest of my lights i plan to just have them on all the time when the ignition is on. during the day LED's don't draw enough power to care about, i was only going to use a max of 7 LED's so at most 140mA of draw, and they don't really ever burn out |

What's the goal of ambient lighting? Wouldn't it reduce night vision?
Semi-related, has anyone installed one of these kits? http://www.carid.com/2012-subaru-imp...ain-dash-kits/ |

Well I have been pretty scared of the white seats for a while now, even with scotch guarding them. Nothing has happened so far but I just bought a set of black seat cloth take offs.. so will probably have an interesting project coming up when it gets warm.

Just placed my order for resistors from digikey. Ordered 5 of each, and 7 different types to make circuits from 1 to 7 leds. Now I just need to figure out which leds I want to try.
I only live about 1 hour away, but the price of gas is not economical compared to 2.80 shipping... |

I've been flirting a bit too much with photos of the 2014 WRX Mule on that modified 4th Gen Impreza Sedan. While it's a little crude looking, I couldn't help but notice that it has what looks to be an SPT exhaust system on it. I've got a 5-door and I was wondering if, with slight modification to the rear bumper to make the exhaust tips fit, an SPT exhaust for a WRX 5-door would bolt up to a 4th Gen Impreza 5-door? There aren't many SPT parts for the 4th Gen Impreza and I understand that they don't void the warranty. Cost aside, I'm just curious if it would work or if it has been done before?

And no. They didnt effect driving at all. They made it easier to grab stuff in the car. Made it feel more comfortable. I knew what was in the car without having to turn on bright lights. Its a very low level of light. A mild glow. Pretty much any high end car has it. I think ambiant lighting would improve the cars look and feel drastically. Its just waaay too dark in there. |
