<IMG SRC="http://img9.ac.yahoo.co.jp/users/6/5/5/4/yumeikira-img600x450-988628819imga0286.jpg" border=0> note clear turn signals. it says "legacy" in the bridge instead of the "subaru" we have. instead their "subaru" is a badge like our "legacy" is on the hatch. confused yet? ben [This message has been edited by Benjamin Tang (edited May 05, 2001).]

Ben, you find the coolest stuff. Now all you have to do is find one of those for a BH5 and at a reasonable price and I will be all over it.

Ben! Where do you find these great toys? Do you have a source to get them? I will gladly drive up to Vancover to get some B4 JDM parts!

i have a friend who is stationed in okinawa who keeps tormenting me with stuff like this he pulls off the japanese yahoo auction site... he knows i can't bid because a)open to japanese residents only and b)"seller will not ship internationally"
for those with the current bh-series legacys... you should see all the factory HID headlights that are available! <IMG SRC="http://img20.ac.yahoo.co.jp/users/9/5/0/3/ak_shin1-img450x300-985783945dscf0004.jpg" border=0> <IMG SRC="http://img20.ac.yahoo.co.jp/users/9/5/0/3/ak_shin1-img360x240-985783975dscf0007.jpg" border=0> 75000jpy was the asking price. one has a small crack in the corner though. thought i would share his torture with all of u ben [This message has been edited by Benjamin Tang (edited May 06, 2001).] |

seller had a bid option of 5000jpy, which is around $40-50usd. shipping would be more than that for sure. oh the agony...

unfort. w/ the JDM lights you've got a Right Hand Drive beam pattern, which would just
about blind everyone coming towards you esp. since they're HIDs. Maybe they work with LHD reflectors? |

Awhile back I got a quote on that rear assembly from mike shields at spd - $295. Not that bad, I got a quote from a dealer for a us one for $240. I was thinking of ordering it anyway as mine got cracked a few months ago but I found a us spec one on ebay and ended up getting it for $25! 90% off! Just installed it last night, took a couple hours as I had to modify (drill out) a tool to get to some hard to reach nuts. Now, does anyone know a good and cheap body shop in portland, oregon where I can get the bumper scratches from the same fender bender fixed?

i have no idea since i'm bg
i would assume HID low beam/conventional high beam/turn signal/city light. rear headlight housing is HID specific since the ballast/transformer bolts up to it as one integral unit, so i would suspect retrofit to a non HID light is not possible without much work. ben |

thanks guys, I don't really want to spend $600 for just taillights. If you hear of anything cheaper let me know. Thanks.

I've noticed that you seem to keep teasing the wagon owners and I am wondering if you can get the jdm taillight cluster for the bg5 sedan. I love the fact that it says legacy!
Thanks. -Erik |
