Yep 3mm screwtwist bulbs.

 

They are like $1.30 each. I am gonna get then in the UV Black light. Wonder how that'll look?

I can't say but i figure it might be hard to see it?

 

I was thinking that too, but I figure if its night (Which it should be lol) there might be a deep blue glow or something. Anything has to be better then nothing :-p

 

I really never knew the hazard button had a light in it (Wow!)

LOL yah it has one.. also the AC button switch does as too.. but the dealer says it's not a replaceable light.. but if you take it out and look it's nothing but a twist lock like the air controls.. mine has not blown out yet which is rare.. but at least I know I can change it now..

Yeah the only lights that work on my Air controls are the Amber lights above each setting, thats it Lol! I thought that was kinda dumb if thats how it was factory :-p

 

Yeah I took theControl unit apart, there are like 4 twist bulbs from what I can see.

I was back at the drill press today, my friend jeff walked in, and I heard him say, "Isn't something missing over here?". :grin:

 

The EA-82 block will find it's way in there ASAP, for a trial/test fit.

 

I need studs and serated flange nuts to finish bolting the intake on. And some other stuff.

Tom, I ordered some extra "cool whites" for you as well when I ordered mine, just in case you change your mind.

My friend Trent sold me some 60 spoke, 6 lug, 13"X7" chrome rims cheap a while back. He had to junk the Nissan pickup, it just about rusted in half. Anyway.

 

I've spent a bit of time with one wheel today on the drill press...and grinder. I'm going to do a test fit in the AM and see what/if I need to do anything else.

 

I ground a 4X140 EA-82 hub down to fit the wheel from either side.

 

I'm going to have to take a picture.

Backside.

It's sitting as is. More grinding needed, possibly an aluminum spacer/insert, test fit.

 

Cost: $10.00 plus labor so far.

Got a replacement grill yesterday for my outback but I cracked the subaru logo that sticks in the middle trying to remove it ($35 dealer part :eek: )

 

Anyways This is what I did..

"JDM"'d my tail lights. yeah its a direct bite from 1982gl4 but it looks better dangit! and I still managed to chip one. the second came out good. i just used the heat gun longer and let the heat soak into the glue more. (about 3x5minute heat sessions with about 2 minutes in between for the heat to dissipate away from the lens, then pry the little tabs on top and bottom and pull. BTW that friggen plastic gets HOT! :lol:

Also had to go get my brother's wrx. a while back the drain plug fell out of the transmission... needless to say a new drain plug didn't COMPLETELY fix it. Passenger front diff bearing is gone and took the seal with it. :eek: Out she comes again... :mad: :-\

friggen awesome yellow fogs! :slobber:

 

 

LOL omg I would have never expected so many people look at my fogs when driving and more so at dusk when I'm driving around.. I love them! My mom says it looks distracting but they really do good.
