Thanks. Maybe next time, use a towel or rags under the bumper when you're on bricks/cement and you are whacking away at plastic bezels...this is a direction I want to go and add fogs to my base wrx
Does SubieSpec sell just the wiring? SMY sells the OEM button for the interior fog light button and the 2020+ foglight and DRL kit looks so much better in my opinion.
@@zach_lush Hi Zach, that's great news. Trouble is I am in Sydney Australia, so freight could be an issue. Really annoys me that the kits say complete plug and play fro WRX/STI, but they are not!😀
@@kxaudio oh yikes! Yes that will be a bit pricey. Unfortunately its only truly plug and play for 15-17 year, and 18-21 WRX with non LED headlights. I wish Subaru would've just had the connectors there already!
Great video! Question, is this setup like the oem foglights where they turn off when the high beams are activated or do they stay on even with the high beams? I've read that oem kits are like that so I was wondering.
Where did you get the fog light lamps, wiring and switch kit? I can only find the fog lights by themselves. The DRL Bezel kit doesn't have the fog light lamps or the wiring and switch.
Hey Zach. Thanks for the video. Do the fogs work irregardless of whether high beams or low beams are on ? As long as car is powereed up they work ? Over time have you had any issues with the switch inside blowing fuse ? or the harness relay fuse to it ? ILM = indicator light module ? Thanks Russ
Hey, not a problem. Thanks for watching! The way I have it wired up pretty sure the fogs stay on. The only way I know of having them switch on or off depending on your high beams being on requires 2 add a fuses. I have personally never tested this but I've seen someone use this method somewhere. I've never bothered since with the high beams being on with fogs being on hasn't been a problem driving at night. Also no issues with fuses blowing at all.
Zach Thanks ! The wire thru the fenderwell grommett into the cabin was tough - but if you hadn't shown it - dont know what Id have done. I did the same conversion on my car now and I really like the change. Thanks again for breakin the way ! Hope you've got your car up and running.
@@squealswhenwet735 Not a problem Russ. Happy to hear my video helped you out! I haven't seen anyone else do this so I was really winging it hahaha. Also thank you, the car is up and running now. Doing the final tuning. More videos will be up soon! Just in the middle of moving so finding time to edit has been difficult.
@@yudubest the red cable goes to an add a fuse, and the add a fuse goes to a fuse you know only turns in when the car is running. An example of that is the radio or cigarette lighter.
I have a 2020 sti base model working to get the exact set up as you curious is there a way to eliminate the switch inside and just have fog lights etc run all the time send link to purchase please
If you want fog light like that you can get them from any company, just depends on the style you want. For the bezels and signal harness message @subie_spec on Instagram and they can get you the pricing. They are based in Canada.
Hey, I would like to install.JDM bezels and some fog light bulbs on my 2019 STI Base. What harness do you have that has the dash switch? I am trying to figure out what wiring I all need.
On a 2021 base and doing research now for a fog light kit... I think I'm going with the SS3s from Diode Dynamics and wanted to know what wiring kit to purchase?? So dumb these cars do not come with fogs and we have to go through all this! TIA!
Yes, I agree it's ridiculous these car never came with the wiring already there like the older models. I'm not sure of the brand I got, believe it was Vinstar though. But you can get any wiring kit out there that your local shop carries. Don't have much experience with other options on the market.
I ordered the kit and it needs to have the connections got to both positive and negative of the battery. To be safe, what's the correct order to connect these two cables? Disconnect negative and add connection then tighten and then do the same for the positive or?? Rubber gloves??
@@GR8GUY54 I'm assuming your talking about the AirLift 3p managment kit? But to hook them up safely just disconnect negative, go ahead and hook up positive. Add your connection to negative, then put negative back on your battery terminal. Should be fine, not need for rubber gloves. Just don't touch the two terminals with a wrench or anything metal!
It's the Prolightz fogt kit for 2018+. So disconnect the negative, then disconnect positive, connect wire to positive and tighten then connect wire to negative and tighten around right? Appreciate you getting me there. Kit should arrive next week.
Price depends on what you want exactly. If you want the signals to work without splicing you'll need the extra harness that plugs into your factory signal bulbs. Price also depends on if you want fog lamps, or just the jdm bezels. If you message @subie_spec on IG we can get you a total cost. We are also based in Canada.
Hi there, where did you get the switch? I got the wire harness off of Amazon but the switch that it comes with is bigger than the oem blank switch. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I have a 2018 Type RA, which is like a 2019 I think
@ thanks for replying, yea I did but the switch are bigger than the oem blank and wouldn’t fit. I also noticed your switch has the green lights and all the other switches on ebay/amazon are orange/amber. if you have a spare switch by any chance im willing to buy or if have a link for it i would appreciate it. thanks again
@@LongNguyen-rc4qo I don't have a spare switch, but I just updated the description with the fog light kit. I have no idea if you can buy just the switch.
I got the switch and it fits perfectly! Thank you very much! Another question, what amp fuse did you use for the switch connecting it to the cigarette fuse ? Thank you 🙏
Do you mean like GM junk or VW junk? Yes, some Subaru engines that have an inherent flaw, but it is well documented and there are fixes for it. I'd be more suspect of the CVT transmission now in use and the engines are the least of your worries w/proper mx.
your good at this wiring stuff man with the bezels i couldn't be bothered going through all that and paid someone to do it lol
Thanks! I'm not the best, just do a lot of research. Fair enough man, it isn't for everyone!
Looks great man. Wish fogs came stock on my sti but you made this look doable. Thanks for the video.
Thank you! Yes, I agree! I still have no idea why they never offered fogs. They really add to the car! Not a problem, thanks for watching
Just wanted to say thanks for the vid, coming in clutch for the install on my base!
No problem, thanks for watching!
Thanks. Maybe next time, use a towel or rags under the bumper when you're on bricks/cement and you are whacking away at plastic bezels...this is a direction I want to go and add fogs to my base wrx
Bottom of the bumper is already beaten up from pervious owner, not much to protect! But go for it, looks great!
Thank you for making this. I will be installing foglights on my 19 sti and didn’t see any videos with these details.
Not a problem, happy to see it helped!
Hey man, looks sick Im going for the same look. Question what about Im missing the wires, all of then? Can I buy it some where?
Hey man, thanks! If you message @subie_spec on Instagram I can reply to you over there to get a better idea.

Future reference you dont need to remove the bumber to take the bezels off
Sure, but good luck wiring it

Do you still sell all of the wiring harness and the switch??
Just the ebay link
@@zach_lush how abt the other harness like what you had in the video? Where'd u get them?
Esp the switch inside the car and the wiring it has.
I have a 2021 STI base...what do I need to do this plug n play and the cost? I do have the LED directional headlights if that makes a difference.

Link to buy the kit?
Signal harness is linked, everything else you should be able to get from your local shops
Do this on a 2015 sti limited is it the same way?
No, 2015 uses different bezels and does not require the extra signal harness
Are your fog lights, stock foglight that comes with the WRX?
Nope it's all aftermarket
@@zach_lush do you know if stock foglights will fit with those bezels?
@@joshvaldez8455 yes they will fit
Where did u get the harness for the blinker for limited models only?
I make them and sell them on @subie_spec
Hey bro at 13:11 you connect a red and yellow. Mine are yellow & yellow would that be an issue I purchased it from a different place
It's just an extension to run inside of the car. If your wires does the same thing the colour shouldn't matter.
I got it I’m struggling to fish the extension through the rubber gauntlet thing
It’s like as I push it through nothing comes out the other side
Hey, I can't seem to find a button for my 2020 STI, the one that came with my kit is 1.5x bigger than the hole. Where did you get yours?
You can't buy the button separately from what im aware of. I got my fog light kit on ebay, just look for one that contains all the wiring and button
