fog lights

how difficult is it to put foglights in a 2006 subaru impreza that didn't have them before.

soopsoop,

 

I have done these kind of upgrades on various makes and models over the years, and it comes down to whether Subaru made a one size fits all harness or not. Do some research on your car.

 

Obtain a wiring diagram for your year or a FSM showing where harnesses and relays/switches are located. I know that Subie FSM's are available online for free, as I have had them for each of the previous OBW's I've owned, as well as my present 2012.

 

Then search around your headlight harnesses to see if the fog light harness connectors are there, and just taped up out of the way. Search under the dash where the foglight switch is located on an 06 (part of the turn signal stalk?) for the same connector to the switch. Check the fuse box for the needed relay and fuses.

 

Then if the wiring harnesses are there, track down a wrecked Imprezza of the same generation and get the needed fog lights, switch/turn signal stalk, and relay/fuses, and have at it.

 

I've put power seats and power windows into cars that weren't originally equipped that way, but the wiring harnesses, etc., were always in the doors or under the seats before I jumped in and considered the upgrade.

 

Do some homework. Good Luck!

ok i will try that. i looked under the driver seat and found where they used to have and amp because the big silver wire is still there . not sure if it was ground or power  i will check it out in a bit or tape it off until i can get the seat out.

it was a ground wire. they also have an aftermarket radio with a dvd player in it and a switch to watch dvd while the car is moving it took the switch out and the ground wire out it looks a lot better now.
