Subaru was trying to move upscale with the Tribeca, and it shows.

For those of you missing the glove box led.. Remove the glove box and take the glove box cover out. I found my led light tucked in next to the cabin air filter.

Refresh my memory, IIRC it's been mentioned on here. Is it true that you get one free wiper blade replacement under warranty? Also, one precision alignment was mentioned too I believe.
Anyone good with warranties, what are the one time items people never ask for? |

Nothing wrong with them, just normal wear. Only switching to winter blades. I've never had those covered before but thought someone mentioned they'll supply them once.

I had them changed a few times on my STI. They will replace the refills, not the whole blade.

Doing it is relatively easy... a couple of LEDs, a resistor or two, some soldering, finding a power source. The hard part is doing it well. If you look at the cars that have it, the lights are recessed and positioned such that you don't see them unless you're looking for them. Replicating that is gonna be hard.
I might try putting a pair of dim red or amber LEDs under the lip of the center console door. Won't be as nice as lighting from above, but it'd light up the cup holders nicely, and more subtle than putting LEDs in the cup holders themselves. I also might not. Depends on if I can find some more round tuits. ;-) |

It's probably no easier than doing it yourself, though it might end up looking nicer. Or one of those lamps on a gooseneck that plugs into the cig lighter. Not exactly subtle, but it'd work. |

Is it Gentex that makes the OEM mirror for Subaru?
Their website sucks for product information, but they've made at least one model of autodimming rearview mirror with map lights. |

Has anyone been able to figure out what the hole right above the center cubby hole is for? It's above the center cubby but below the hvac controls.

However, I used it as a pass-through for the wiring to the hands-free mic connected to my new Pioneer head unit. I installed my mic on the ceiling of the cubby, just in front of that hole. |

My guess is they kept the hole there from previous models to either add lighting to the cubby that they never finalized or to keep their options open for future models/trims. Maybe to reduce costs the new wrx will have the same cubby/control housing and that will recieve the lighting? hmmm...

Thanks for the replies.. That's what I thought it might be for but I'm unable to find a light online to purchase for that spot. What would it connect to as a power source if there was a light available?
Also for anyone interested in a footwell illumination kit for our 2012-2013 impreza models I've come across this: http://techinfo.subaru.com/proxy/700...SFJ100Rev1.pdf It's listed under the 2013 accessory installation guide, but I don't see why it wouldn't work on a 2012 model as well. It's about $120-130 online from what I have found. |

Thanks for the link. That would provide foot well lighting, but not the cubby and cup holder lighting that would complete the ambient lighting affect.

I know it doesn't solve the cubby light problem, but at least we have a subaru direct footwell illumination kit option.
This is a site that offers the footwell kit: http://www.subarupartswebsite.com/OE...701SFJ100.html The part number is: H701SFJ100 |

Looks like its kind of a pain in the ass to install:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/b3gn25nzlt...SFJ100Rev1.pdf You'll have to remove the glove box, and the center console face plate. |
