Yup, I believe Subaru figured out having all STI parts sold separately makes more money for them & aftermarket company’s in the long run as well as people getting to choose what parts they really want on there wrx can’t please everyone these days so sell most STI parts separately for more custom build since everyone mods to there own taste anyways…
Good video man. these are basically must have mods imo..to help the look of this new WRX. I like how you showed the bumper removal, because it appears to be nearly identical to the VA WRX bumper removal. I like that the did the light wiring right as well. I lucked out with my 2015 base WRX, by adding my own drl harness and fogs...being able to control what is always on and what I can turn on myself.....which was not the case for higher trim models. Having those bezel always on..is what you want. Being able to turn the fogs on/off when you want is another big plus. Subbed, and be looking for more videos on the new WRX!
So I just did this after watching your video a bunch of times. It took me a LOOOONNNG TIME. If I ever needed to do it again, it wouldn’t. Getting the old insert around the fog light off. The first one took me an hour. The second took me three minutes. I’m sure it was the same for you. My suggestion to anyone doing this is when removing the old bezel, pull the three clips(not 2) and then stand the bumper on its end so you can work on the BOTTOM (nearest the ground when installed) of the bezel. Get a skinny pry bar or trim tool and pry it out while depressing the claws from inside. Depressing the claws and pushing it out does not work.
The front looks so much more aggressive with the grill and fog light bezels, especially all that piano gloss black versus the plain old flat black plastic.
Thanks man just ordered a bunch of stuff on subimods. Same fog light trim with the foglight kit, sport grille with new colored emblems and some other cool things this video definitely has me ready to install THANKS 💪🏽
Hey Joey. Thanks for showing us the process. On the website link the surrounding area of the OEM drl bezel looks unpainted and textured, but yours looks like only textured & unpainted on the bottom strip. Do you know if the website pic is incorrect? I want them to look like yours. Thanks for the help!
Look up part no H4510VC200 on subaru accessory install guide website. This will bring you to a pdf download containing the official install guide. The urethane foam is meant to wrap around the connector wire on the bezel side. Hope this helps
Yes I purchased the parts from the link in the description. Bamwholesaleautoparts. I haven’t had a issue with them. They usually ship in a few days unless it’s back ordered
I like it! I just got mine a few days ago! What do you think about the bumper being paint matched? I was thinking the gloss black would stand out much more if it was
Congrats on picking yours up! Im still not sure what to do with the bumpers or flares yet. Im hoping an a/m company makes a wide body kit that clips on. Not trying to jump on the 1st a/m solution though.
@@JoeyMontalto Yeah, the sanding is what makes me want to wait for other solutions too. I didn’t think of a body kit though, that may be best Thanks again for the videos!
Do you need to remove the bumper to install just the LED fog light Trim? I realize you need to remvove bumper to install the grille but what about just hte fog light trim?
Good day Joey. Can you help me out? I see you have C Lights as part of your headlight system. I recently purchased a 2022 WRX premium trim. And my car has no c lights. Did you add them??
Doin the Lord's work Joey! Thanks! I'm ordering the 23 when it's possible (was told end of the month by dealership) and it looks like we have the same idea; leave the features off then buy them wholesale and put them on ourselves.
when buying the part on Subaru's website is there a left and right part or do I order 2 of the same part you put in the description I have the base model wrx so i was wondering if I need to also add something else for the fog lights to work.
Hate to revive something 2 years old but for under the dash what did the harness plug into that came with the lights? I know one side goes to the oem pink tape plug but what about the other end?
Hey Joe, quick question for you buddy? I called Subaru to try to order one of these kits and they’re telling me it was for the base only. Have you heard anything about this? I was going to order this for my limited and they won’t sell it to me because they say it’s for the base model only.
The dealer was incorrect. In the video description there should be a link with a part number. You can use that part number to order at the dealer or elsewhere
@@JoeyMontalto Does the fog light accessory change colors between white and yellow, like what is shown in this video -- th-cam.com/video/bEzkAD6DmHI/w-d-xo.html
Try and get a small mic or something man, when you're talking to the camera from a ways away its got a big echo and its hard to hear you. Otherwise nice vid, hard work making the new wrx look good lmao.
I am struggling to find that connector on the inside. Any tips or more photos? I see the pink sticky tape wrapped around a wire wad, and the foam wrapped (female?) plug to connect to, but I don't see the other part of the wire to connect to. It's a tight fit under there and there doesn't seem to be a whole lot of play in the cables... so I've got to be missing something obvious. Any help appreciated. Cheers!
There should be a plug on your new led trim and that plugs into the new pink connector. It’s much easier if you remove the bumper. Only takes a few minutes to remove
That’s all done, no issues there. I mean inside the car, under the steering wheel. I can only find one end of the cable to connect, the foam wrapped plug… but not the other piece to connect to
@@shortfutures2530 inside the car there is just the one plug on the inside. You need to connect the fuse together if that’s what you’re talking about. Plug the wire into itself. Then plug it into the car
What holds the fog lights in? I hit a raccoon last night and the only damage seems to be to whatever is holding the fog light in, the ear tab attached to it. And a grommet in the fender. The fog light isn't lined up like it is on the other side, so I know something else broke. I tried to find the assembly online but couldn't. Thanks
So if you have the light switch turned to “auto” are the headlight beams stll acting as a DRL ? or does the kit change that and just the bumper LEDs act as the DRL.
I know I'm late to this but will the LED bezels work with a base model? The Subaru dealership site says only for premium and up but was wondering if it'll work with the base model. Idk if the base comes prewired for that
If the dealer said premium or higher trim then I would go with that info. I’m not sure if it is prewired for a base model. You can always remove your bumper and check for the harness tucked away with pink tape holding it
You will need to remove the bumper. It only takes 5 mins to remove the bumper. There is one pop clip on each side that is not accessable with the bumper on to pop the trim out
For the Usdm version that I installed there is an open plug under under dash by the left foot. Use the provided plug in the kit and plug into that open plug under the dash.
@@JoeyMontalto awesome I thought so but it said qty 1 so wanted to double check. Thanks for the videos I pick my limited up next week. I traded my 22 GR86 for it as well
@@weldingjunkie I came from a 2018 brz. Built motor JDL turbo kit. They are fun cars but after a few years it was too small for me. I’m excited for this platform
So, with the headlights turned off, during the day, do both the LED Bezel and the front headlight act as DRL or just the LED Bezel is on as the sole DRL? Ultimate, I want to get rid of the front headlight DRL.Thank you.

I guarantee that grille and fog light cover was for the STI version
I agree!! The pink tape on the harness is the giveaway imo

This vid helped me a lot, just installed and love them! You need the front lip also. I did all 3, looks amazing - my car is white as well. Thank you!
I’m glad the video helped out! Yes I later added the front lip. Looks great!
awesome vid .... Hey, on a random note, what do you think of the Sunroof Air Deflector accessory for this car?
I think if you like the air deflector then do it! I had a previous wrx with that and it was not bad
The front looks so much more aggressive with the grill and fog light bezels, especially all that piano gloss black versus the plain old flat black plastic.

Thanks for watching!
Just leased a new 24 Premium and had these added to the lease. Ended up only increasing the payment $12 per month x 36 since they can be residualized
Great choice!
Finally got mine!!! Thanks for the extremely helpful video!!!

C setting looks great.
The gloss grill looks legit with white but mu metallic not so much. Nice vid
Does those come on anything execpt the base? My crosstrek had the c
Glad subaru pre-wired the accessory '22 WRX LED fog bezel! Thanks for the video!
Nice video those are Subaru parts correct?
Correct these are oem parts. Part number and link where I purchased is in the description
Any other videos you would like to see. I have some new parts coming already
@@JoeyMontalto okay thanks
@@JoeyMontalto i subscribers so when you pos new video I should get notifications and I will go and watch how you install.
Great video. Car looks awesome. Question does it make a difference at night?
I did not notice a difference at night for more visibility
Installing mine today, I saw it came with a couple foam pads as well. Any idea where those go? Great vid as always!
The foam tap should go on the connector to prevent a rattle

Wonder if the led strips stay on when the ebrake is on and the lights are off 😮
was the grille 280? are they reliable company? looks awesome
Yes I purchased the parts from the link in the description. Bamwholesaleautoparts.
I haven’t had a issue with them. They usually ship in a few days unless it’s back ordered
Do you know the name or part number for the fuse or connector that goes inside the car?
it comes with the kit from subaru
I like it! I just got mine a few days ago! What do you think about the bumper being paint matched? I was thinking the gloss black would stand out much more if it was
Congrats on picking yours up! Im still not sure what to do with the bumpers or flares yet. Im hoping an a/m company makes a wide body kit that clips on. Not trying to jump on the 1st a/m solution though.
To paint the flares or bumper they have to be sanded down and Vinyl doesn’t stick to abs plastics well. Also need to sand them down for vinyl as well
@@JoeyMontalto Yeah, the sanding is what makes me want to wait for other solutions too. I didn’t think of a body kit though, that may be best
Thanks again for the videos!
Do you need to remove the bumper to install just the LED fog light Trim? I realize you need to remvove bumper to install the grille but what about just hte fog light trim?
Yes you need to remove the bumper. There is one clip that cannot be reached on each bezel

Do you need to take the bumper off if you only install the fog LEDs?
Doin the Lord's work Joey! Thanks! I'm ordering the 23 when it's possible (was told end of the month by dealership) and it looks like we have the same idea; leave the features off then buy them wholesale and put them on ourselves.

Love the look of the upgraded fog light assembly. What did you do under the dash?
There is another wrapped pink plug under the dash. The pre wire plug supplied in the kit with a fuse plugs in under the dash
@@JoeyMontalto got it, thanks
Do you know if if the premium model has those pre installed wires for the DLR? I think you have the limited model right?
I do have the limited model, but I think the premium and the base has the same wires tucked back for the drls
Great video thanks for sharing! Can’t wait to take delivery of my limited in June!
Thanks! Are there any other videos you want to see of the car?
It’s worth the wait! Congrats on your order

Hate to revive something 2 years old but for under the dash what did the harness plug into that came with the lights? I know one side goes to the oem pink tape plug but what about the other end?
There is an open plug under the dash wrapped in pink. The provided harness just plugs into that open plug under the dash
Do you think they could've been removed without taking the whole bumper off?
No, there is one clip behind the bumper on each side that holds the fog light covers on.

Do they blink with your blinker?
The oem ones do not blink with the blinker :(
Could you post the part numbers for the fog lights?
Part number should be in description with the link to where I purchased it
All the lights stay on I like it more
What holds the fog lights in? I hit a raccoon last night and the only damage seems to be to whatever is holding the fog light in, the ear tab attached to it. And a grommet in the fender.

So there’s already a connector to snap them into on a premium?
Yes! That’s correct!
I didnt get that little harness for under the dash with my ebay kit. Where can I get that or make it?!

Can the fog assemblies be installed without removing the bumper? (Front would be lifted for necessary clearance)
You will need to remove the bumper. It only takes 5 mins to remove the bumper. There is one pop clip on each side that is not accessable with the bumper on to pop the trim out

Damm that grill looks like a Ford Fusion grill lmao 🤣
Don't take it the wrong way but sometimes less is better...either have lights or leds
All good man its cool. You can't get the fog light led without the fog light. I like that it's a drl when the fog light is off.
2 thumbs up.
