mr.radon Posted February 22, 2010 Share Posted February 22, 2010 Finally got my PIAA 520 kit. And since the Outback is immobile due to a bad clutch slave cylinder I have time to install them. I also got two 130W Narva H3 bulbs for the PIAA's. Made a wire harness out of 12AWG wire connected to the batteries power and ground protected by a 30A sealed J-case fuse, going to use a sealed 70A relay controlled off the stock wire harness. Will post pictures when I'm done. Can't wait to see on those forest service roads again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Durania Posted February 22, 2010 Share Posted February 22, 2010 Lets see some pictures when you get done. I just got done putting Optilux XY yellows in my RS fogs along with yellow film. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
i_subie Posted February 22, 2010 Share Posted February 22, 2010 You should definitely get some pictures! I wanna get a set too for my daily driver. I hate it when you have those morons that leaves their high beams on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr.radon Posted February 27, 2010 Author Share Posted February 27, 2010 Well I got it installed. Took a little longer since I fixed the clutch so fast. Had to wait till the wife had another night shift to get into the garage. I was surprised by how crappy the stock PIAA electrical wiring is. Crap, total crap. Also, the 20AWG wire that Subaru uses to power the stock fog lamps is crap. I basically used 14AWG wire for these fog lamps. This is the rewire of the lamp itself. I tapped into power off the alternator, directly to a fuse pack (so I can add more fog lights and will have the extra power) which feeds the common terninal (30) on a sealed relay that I hung off the battery tie down rod. I tapped ground off the front driver ground. This ground the relay coil and the fog lights. I drive the relay coil with the driver side fog lamp lead. The passenger lead I cut off and taped back. This way the fog lights still work like they are supposed to, and it was an easy way to get switched power. I drilled two holes to mount the lights, this is into the structural plastic. I replaced the PIAA nut and star washer with a nylock nut and big fender washer. I removed my headlamps to make the job go a little easier. After I got one in, I aligned it then tightened the bolts. Looks pretty good. Routed the wire harness, and then installed the other light. Tried them out driving, they make a world of difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J A Blazer Posted March 1, 2010 Share Posted March 1, 2010 Will these fit my Gen2 (2000) OBW? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr.radon Posted March 1, 2010 Author Share Posted March 1, 2010 They are 6" round, go measure the opening and see where they can be mounted. PIAA has a drawing of the fog lamp(s) so you can check to see if they fit. http://www.piaa.com/Lamps/Lamp-pages/520.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
