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, 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.

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!

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.

Question

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.
