Installed some fog lights for My 2007 2.5X Forester MT. Pretty straight forward Install. With the exception of the wiring (which always takes forever) my installation job literally took 5 minutes to mount the lamps. Gotta love the stealthy install. The lights have more than enough clearance all the way around, nothing is rubbing frame or radiator. For those who wish to add auxillary lamps without the thought of drilling a hole in the bumper or frame. The grill being in front of the lamps does not seem to affect brightness.

Here are some cell phone pics, Will take some pics with the new digital camera tomorow.

On the prowel for a Normaly Closed Relay. Autoparts store only sells normaly open relays. That way when I turn on the fogs the low beams will turn off and i'll have "fog only" with the flip of a switch. That way I can plug my DRL back in. Here is my schematic...

Also If someone can help me Idenify Which wire to splice the N/C relay into that would be nice

I like!

I think it would look really tight if that grille could somehow just lose the subaru emblem. Then maybe sneak in some hella's with paint to match the car.

The emblem is molded into the grill. No way to remove unless I replace with a mesh grill.
