I would recommend these guys for your HIDs http://mobiistore.com.au/

Morgs and I have them and they are great quality for the price. I orginally bought mine off their ebay store which i cant seem to find atm

Im running 4300k with both headlight and fogs and the light distrubition is epic and not blinding

Heres their ebay store

Yes the LED strip comes with some 3M tape on the underside and just pastes right on. Could look good in the footwell (if a little bright?).

HIDs are Mars Performance brand. They go by the name Mars Warehouse on eBay. They cost a bit more than other brands but I went with them because in all the ballasts I've purchased over the years, not one of them has gone wrong so I figured its worth the money. If you want a cheaper alternative - look at the link Chris posted just at the top of this very page.

cool thanks, yeah i wouldn't mind spending a bit extra for some that i dont have to worry about catching alight and melting looms!

also, footwell lighting would be hooked up to dome light so fades off, i have been reading wiring diagrams for way too long but i think i have finally worked it out.

Also; how hard is it to plug those led strips in? I like them at the bottom of the door like that.

[SAV84C]

Time for a bit of a monthly update; car is going very well and its had a few little additions to it.

1. I got a little LED strip off Leo (Liberty.asn Vendor) to put under the door:

Did you wire these up to the courtesy light?

[Shiv]

^Yup, if you look closely in the pic, you'll see a thin wire going under the cover of the light.

Its plug and play Nik Just take the cover off and attach them to the connectors inside.

Silicone is the work of Satan.

Automotive Polyurethane sealant would be the gold standard sealant to use.

Silicon will peal as well.
Use some sikaflex, can even get it in blue if you're really anal. about $25 a tube and works really well. You will need some prepsol or any wax and grease remover to tidy it up too.

Shiv, those projectors look the goods, they have got me thinking!

Monsoons:




Installation was infinitely easier compared to the Gen2, due to the Gen3's 'snap on' clips. Took me the best part of 10-minutes and is sealed solid!



Also put up a Gallery in the members section:

As for whats next? Considering exhaust + CAI options. Perhaps a different set of rims. But gonna stay put for a while. Real happy with where the car is right now!

[Shiv]

Got the car a set of new shoes! 17" inch wheels off a 2009 Forester XT:





They're good, I get to keep the tall-ish softroader profile tyres but still get a sporty look off the turbo Forester.

[aekOne]

They look good mate. Big improvement on the original ones!!

you could put some LED's along the spokes

[Morgan]

Nice work mate they look good.
What profile are they? Looks quite chunky, is the speedo still right?

[Shiv]

They're 225/55 series tyres, so yeah a bit chunkier!

Haven't seen what difference its had on the speedo but I'll check it on the motorway going to Hooters tomorrow.

[SAV84C]

Lovin the new rims shiv! Suits the outback very well!

[Hypnotic]

Rims look good Shiv, now it just needs more slammed on its arse FTW!

Did your monsoons come with the car?

EDIT: C'mon Morgan scroll up half a page!
Sooo, where'd you get your monsoons?!

[Shiv]

Did your monsoons come with the car?

Nah, I got them not too long ago. (see a couple of posts above this^^^)

[Morgan]

Lol see above post...

Whered you get them from?
The monsoons and tints go really well together.

Got them brand new from Subaru. Cost $184.00 if I remember correctly, and they came with 3M double sided tape already attached and ready to fit.

...and yes, they look good with the tint! Came in extra handy on our last cruise driving through the rain up a couple of mountains with the air-con turned off for maximum power.
