You can screw in the fog lights right from the front of the bumper - you don't have do disassemble anything. You should be able to hold the fog light with one hand while you drive each of the 3 screws in with the other.

Sorry sir, but you do not have 4x4 drive, you have AWD.

Its a automotive specific bolt, so you might, But prob will have better luck looking at oreily's or napa. That is if you want the same design........ if not you can find a bolt with the same thread pitch at which ever hardware store.

You don't have a 4X4. There's no dual-range gearbox, nor is there a lack of a center differential.


Get it right, it's Subaru Symmetrical AWD!

Oh, and I think the engine is actually EJ205, not "EJ20T".


But not to be a d-bag, just trying to help.

Any other plans for the bugeye fog lights? STI mesh fog light covers???

When I changed out my stock fogs for Hellas on my '02 I remember there not being a harness, the bulb was just hard-wired. I'll check the wiring service manual to see if it is up higher somewhere in the engine bay.

Just like saying "I'm not racist, but..." before a racist comment makes you not racist!

Fog light wiring. Looks like they may be connected in one harness? I don't know, I'm not great at deciphering wiring diagrams.

Dude,

First of all man, you don't need to lecture me okay broseph. Another user already made a point to inform me of my dreadful mistake by comparing subaru's to 4x4 vehicles. I now know never to get them confused again! So there is no need to freak out and act like a total D-bag! If you even truly care what I am doing with the bug eye fog lights then I am putting an yellow film over them b/c my cf fog lamp covers clear-coat is peeling off and it looks too worn so I've decided to put them to good use!

Regards,
Bryan

Each light take three 10mm bolts though the front, no need to remove the bumper or what not. the housings are angled so you can't mess up putting the driver's side light on the passenger side. If you have a WRX all your wiring should be in place already.


if you need more info I may have my old maint manuals PDFs on an external HD with full diagrams I can post.
