ordered all my sockets and pins tonight to make my adapters. I will making adapters for the foglights and for my headlights H11 to H9 so i don't have to modify bulbs in the future.

true, but these are glass lenses, would feel a little better with 20mil film over them and with the upcoming forecast i would really like yellow light

I think I may consider doing this upgrade now. Has anyone consider using relays with H11 halogen bulbs? After reading this article it seems wise:

no honestly, a relay will truly give you a couple or a few more hundred lumens. i just didn't feel like going through all the troubles and time of actually running all the wires and making proper connections for the extra 200-300 lumens. I mean that is alot!! but a 24 watt bulb will produce about 300-600 lumens, the 55w H11 will put out about 1100-1400 lumen. I am satisfied that i get more than twice the output. but if you really really what some bright ass fog lights. do the H11 to H9 conversion and run relays, you will be around the 2000 lumens range!!!!!!!!! but i would HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend AGAINST that on STOCK WIRING!!!! because the H9 bulbs are 65 watt bulbs and that is far reaching the limit of wiring and fuses. = fire or a hot mess |

The factory lighting setup in these is quite shabby. H11's for lows.. Really?! I had those for fogs on my last car.

I did the relay rewire on my old car for the headlights and it is impressive, I might do it for this one when the warranty is up. |

Hmmm, I think the lighting coming from the factory headlights is quite good. Even my 80-year-old mom with bad eyesight, when she rode in my car, commented on how good the headlights are.

ans2k,
have you tried the independant mod yet? looking at the foglight instructions from subaru it looks like the relay on this car is behind the glove box? |

I'm also waiting for someone to chime in about the independent fog mod. This is something I'd really like to do but have no clue about where to start. I believe Dimadozen was going to attempt this mod as well.

Looks great. I wonder how these hold up to rocks on the road I'm tired of replacing them.

Highly recommend headlight armor as a protector, after 17k miles they still look perfect. I took it off though because I was curious as to how well it protected. |

I got my fog lights installed. I just cut off the factory connector and soldered on my h11 plugs. They are OK, just marginally brighter than stock. To get a beam pattern that looked like ansk2's I was lighting up trees 5ft above my eye level. I think they will look better when I get my new overlays on them
and once i can get inside the hanger again I plan to adjust the beam pattern because outside in the snow it is a little difficult to set the cutoff correctly, lol Last edited by flyboy1100; 03-17-2013 at 11:06 PM. |

Do you guys recommend removing the front wheels or is there enough clearance?
