  1. Problems & DIY Maintenance

    I updated my rear sidemarkers with DD LEDs, that was super easy. Then I went to do the fronts. For the life of me, I cannot see where to pull the old ones out. Seems like you have to remove parts, even the battery, to get there. Any advice?

    The OEM cargo area overhead LED assembly came with a weak/inconsistent, switch. In "door" or "on" positions, the LEDs wouldn't turn on without tapping it. Removing the outermost face plate exposes the subassembly which holds the circuit board in place. It is worth mentioning the whole...

    Hello! Hopefully someone out there can help me understand why my light switch settings on my steering column are no longer working the same as they did prior to upgrading to the LED's. This only happens when it is out of PARK and is in DRIVE - the OFF position has bright lights that are on, the...

    Today, I had a talk with my trusted mechanic. It turns out that the secure installation of an LED bar or even spot lghts is quite a bit of work on a 2012 Outback. However, I have fog lights that I don't need because there rarely is fog in my area. I also don't need super light on the road...

    Hello all. I'm at a loss here. It may be something simple which is why I'm asking. I went through my car to make sure all my leds were working since I wanted to upgrade to the diode dynamics c light and some others and found that the vanity lights on the drivers side work but passenger don't...

    Noticed this from day 1, the light on the steering wheel heater is almost invisible. Anyone "fixed" this so it's actually clearly visible. After car sitting in the sun all day and driving home in the sun today, had a/c on and the wheel was hot pretty much the whole way home, couldn't tell if...

    Hello everyone. I wanted to know what lighting setup you are currently running on your Gen 4 Outback. 1- What setup are you running for the low beam H7 headlight? Are you using an LED setup, or halogen or other? If so which kit? How did you get it to properly fit given the outback clip setup...

    I just installed new LED's in the instrument panel. Now my right turn signal indicator won't light up. And I get the rapid clicking that would normally indicate a signal bulb out in the headlight or taillight. I've checked the bulbs outside--all good. Could this be an issue with the car's...

    I did a LED upgrade of the vanity, map, dome, rear cargo, and door (puddle?) through Diode Dynamics when I got my 2019 a couple years ago. I was looking for a brighter dome light, and searching their website now, it doesn't look like they list anything for dome. I don't remember if I used the DD...

    I just finished installing some rally type lights on my brush guard and figured I'd put together an install guide. The lights are a set of 4-wire LED 7 inch light pods from Amazon. You can find them by searching at Amazon for Audexen 7" LED Lights The lights have a High, Low, DRL, and...

    Hi all! A newby question if I may.. I learned from these forums that the '18 and '19 DRLs are the LED strip that frames the headlight housing/assembly. Our '17 has the LED strip but the DRLs are the high beams @ a lower power, thus not as bright. I've google fu'd and searched thhese forums...

    So I wanted brighter lights than the stock yellow dome and cabin bulbs, so I upgraded them to the iBrightstar Dome Lights and, whaddaya know, their claim to being "Extremely Bright" in the product title was true o_O SO, I was wondering if anyone else had this same "problem" and perhaps know of...

    So I was looking into upgrading to some leds for my high and low beams. The only issue I have is the legality. I live in New York and can't seem to find a yes or no answer to the question of whether or not they're legal. I actually bought the bulbs already and I love the look of them in my OB...

    Hi guys. Have a bit of an issue regarding the interior lights on my 2010 Outback 2.5i. A while back, I did the full LED conversion for the interior and exterior of my vehicle. Unfortunately, before I knew better, I purchased CANBUS LEDs for the interior, which draw more power than traditional...

    Hello guys, hope you all are good. My family's 2011 Outback came with HID low-beam headlights from the factory and they're way too dim, to the point that our new LED DRL's allow better visibility at night than the HID low-beams. My father and I were wondering about the possibility of doing an...

    While I was installing door speakers, I hadn't disconnected the battery. The doors were open for an extended period of time and the bulbs in the door puddle light area were getting very hot. The bulbs in those locations were the bulbs that I had removed from my reverse lights to replace with...
