Head light bulb question

oney01 · 09-15-2002, 05:39 PM

Does anybody know what type of bulb the 02 Legacy uses on the head-lights and fog-lights? Im getting a new Baja and have not been able to see for my self yet. I want to order hi wattage bulbs before hand.

Do the "blue" bulbs actually help you see colors more true to life at night or is that all BS and only apply to the real plazma discharge ones. Thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!

In a nutshell, for regular halogen bulbs, BLUE = WORSE.

Also be aware that the stock Subaru bulb sockets are pretty poor. You'll probably melt them if you go for anything much above stock power. I tried 80/100 bulbs and melted one of my bulb sockets, the replacements for much better ones are about $5, and a spot of Caig DeOxit or similar may also help.

Also the stock wiring is somewhat limited and won't deal with much more power.
