- Hello Everyone,
I received 7" round driving lights from AUXBEAM and going to install it on the Subaru Outback Wilderness. Also, I made a custom bracket out of aluminum angles to fit these super bright lights but it is still working progress so don't judge! LOL
Stay till the end to see the night footage as I was blown away how bright these lights are.

jeezus those auxbeam lights are bright and have great coverage
I was really surprised 😮
That aluminum bar is nice
Thanks!
Amazing job CA..👍👍
Thank you! Cheers!
Hey, I heard that the space station notified NASA that a brilliant light was blinding them while they were trying to sleep. Heh, heh..😂. Awesome lights my friend. The custom made bumper light bar is NICE too!! You got the best looking and functional Subaru I ever seen. I’m raising a fork of Kim Chi in your honor. Safe travels.
Hahaha 😆 😂 😆 you have deep connection Wes!! KimChi cheers!
Great review & info
Thank you! 😊
this is a great video, thanks!
Glad it helped!
Awwww yes I need these lights for my outback
If you have the space to mount these, do it!! Super bright.
Those are insane!
I was pretty impressed by them as well.
Those Auxbeam are amazing..............
They really are!
Wow! Those are some amazing lights! I like your homemade bumper bar too! I have the Anderson Design one. I like it, but I like your solution a little better b/c you kept your D-Rings in the “stock” location rather than being offset and changing the vehicle’s original towing/recovery point angle. I hope you’ll make a video on how you made your bumper bar!
Thank you and they are super bright! And when the light bar is complete, I'll share it with you guys!
Yes! I agree! Much appreciate if Chasing adventures will make that video 👍
those auxbeams are a better upgrade than the bar/spotlights based on your testing.
Yes they are!! Super bright
Honestly it feels like you could drop both the lightbar and the spots and not notice much of a difference… kind of makes me rethink my future lighting plans.
Yup, these are bright enough, I can do that, but more the merrier, right? LoL. I am planning to angle the 2 inch spots little off to the side to give me more side coverage.
🔥🔥🔥🔥Amazing
Thank you!
Good stuff Brian! I've just have 20" light bar and ditch lights mounted on my Onyx. Seems OK for my purposes.
Thanks Wendell! And that's better than not having it! 😃
When I had my lights installed, I wanted to use the Auxbeam 6 Gang unit, but there wasn't enough room for it. The insulation/ liner under the hood of the Onyx wouldn't allow for it.🙁
@@wendellfinney2848 same here so I had to cut open a small hole and feed it through where the factory wires go through the firewall. it was a pain in the butt.
Auxbeam makes great lighting products.
they sure do!
I have the ADF bumper bar - it's actually not deep enough to fully support the Auxbeam 7" lights. I'm having mine modified to have a nice solid deeper platform for my own 7" lights which are a different brand (stay tuned!). I did write to Patrick to see if he'd want to do the modification, but politely declined. Love the bar though.
I put aFe Power bumper guard and put the auxbeam on it and it works great!
Sick
Thank you! 😊
I also have a 2024 Subaru Forester wilderness package and would luv for u to hook it up just like yours with lots of your links for products to buy and I will send pics every time so people can see
Perfect! Thank you
Awesome install and video! Is it legal to have amber cover on your light pods in Washington state or does it have to be covered in black? I have 4 light pods on my rally innovation bumper light guard, 2 on the hood by the windows wipers, and 2 on the side mirrors for a Subaru outback wilderness.
I believe any lights that are not DOT approved and is for offroad use only needs a cover. I think amber covers are OK too as I have not yet got hassle by the police here in WA.
Do u have a blackout switch that will disconnect all running lights like ur brake lights. This is a sick build either way luv ur content bro 👍
👋 no I don't. But why would you need a blackout switch?
Yo. Another informative video 👍 Couple questions. On the front bumper DIY mounting bracket, super cool btw, would it be possible to have the lights mounted on the front side at 90° instead of the top side? Wouldn’t that eliminate the issue with the ability to take the covers on and off without having to adjust the lights again every single time? Second question… what is that on the roof and where’s the Yakima?? 🤔
Hi Joe. Thanks!! And it's a good idea, but unfortunately, I can't mount it 90° but I just shaved down the covers edge a little bit, and it works without having to lift up the lights. And I still have the Yakima, but that box is Thule Foothill Roof Top Tent ⛺️ 😀 !! I just used it on my last camping trip at an epic location, so that video will be up soon!
@@ChasingAdventuresCO Is that the Thule RTT that’s like folded in half? It’s cool coz the footprint when packed up is quite small. Can’t wait to see the review video on that!!
@joeszeto8859 yup! That's the one!! It's a pretty cool idea, and the tent itself is awesome, but I have to say, it is a bit of pain in the butt to set up and take down. 😀
Wow, nice light setup! Do you use factory battery or upgraded battery due to so many lights? Btw, you should black out your Aluminum bar with the wrap
Thanks and I'm still using a factory battery. The LEDs draw little power, I haven't noticed a need to upgrade the battery. And once it's finished, I am planning to paint it black~
Do you have any of these lights wired in conjunction with your headlight high beam ??? Does it work with the adaptive high beam ??
No I don't. It's connected to a separate switch.
I've been following your journey for awhile and now I got myself a 2024 Crosstrek wilderness. I want to add lights to it too. With all those lights on your vehicle, would you need a better battery? When all lights are running do you notice them running on full power or do they dim?
Thank you and congratulations on your purchase. and as of right now, the lights are running on full power and it seems fine.
Hi I would like to know whts the name of the hood lights and the brackets u have I like that square look
It's called Her Necklace. Link is in the video description
Do you have any concerns about cooling / airflow with the lights up front? Today's vehicles, most of them anyway, are so optimized for airflow with regard to cooling, I just wonder about that before I put rally lights up front.
no issues at all.
Hello, can you give me links to have the same setup, for my subaru Crossetrek wilderness 2024.. Thank you
you can find all the parts here. www.amazon.com/shop/chasingadventures?ref_=cm_sw_r_cp_ud_aipsfshop_aipsfchasingadventures_TVHSXG2RW1SASHY6CZBS
Hello, do you have a link for the aluminum bar, for my subaru crosstrek 2024 wilderness Thanks
It was a DIY project that I made out of aluminum bars and angles
Hello, How did you attach your aluminum bar to the bumper, thank you
I bent aluminum bars to fit into the tow hook opening
In the owners manual it says leaving anything mounted in the tow hook slot can ruin the ability of the airbags to deploy. I understand the why and the how, but curious on others thoughts.
Thanks for bring that to my attention. I've gotta look into it now.
This is what I was told by a Subaru Engineer. If there is a crash with anything left mounted in the tow hook slot (especially a non-compressible solid), it can cause all the force to be directed to a singular point, vs a distributed load across the entire front crash bar. That will prevent the airbag sensor from reading correctly, and deploying as necessary. There is no way to test it unfortunately, except just doing it and hoping for the best outcome. Not all frontal collisions are the same, and where it may not deploy in one case, it may deploy fine in another. @@ChasingAdventuresCO
@@coyotetacticalsolutions it's good to be cautious, especially when it comes to safety!!
How did you find a place to install the drivers side tow hook/shackle?
you remove the orange accents covering on the bumper
what’s covering your Subaru symbol?
Oh that's just left over carbon fiber vinyl
How do the aux beams compare to the stock oem high beams?
Oh, not even comparable. You can't even tell you have the high beems on.
Clean install! Any worry of the Subaru’s stock alternator powering all your lights at one time?
Thanks and I haven't had any issues with it yet. And I do turn all the lights on when trailing in the forest road.
I would be concerned about that too. Keep an eye in your voltage over time. Maybe a second aux battery for those extended runtimes.
@SteveHartmanVideos will do! But so far, so good.
Total electronics noob. What exactly is at risk of burning out from being over taxed? I'm thinking of putting some aux lights, either pods or roof beam. Would likely have a garage install them but unless you specify what you want, they'll just do what you ask them to do. Alternatively, they could offer advice and guidance and then charge you an arm and leg for it.
The output from the demo in this video is exactly what I'm trying to achieve. Could you link some products that would take the extra load off for long operational life of the stock relays or whatever is being burden?
I have to ask. I have an 2024 Outback Premuim version, but I noticed that I do not have the cover plates to utilze where you can connect to tow area. Do I need to get another bumper like the Wilderness?
you need to cut out your bumper when you install a hitch to your car.
@@ChasingAdventuresCO Could I replace the standard bumper with an OBW bumper with the "pop outs"?
@bernardlock2728 I haven't tried but I am sure it's a same fitment as the non Wilderness model. You would still need to cut the bumper to have the hitch
do u prefer auxbeam lights with or without amber cover?
Depending on the weather condition but without it, it is much brighter!
From one growing channel to another, let me know how these have held up?
I'm getting 4 soon for my ram
Only difference is I'm gonna tac weld them 😅 city living at its finest
its holding up just fine and works great! and that's a great idea!
Have you done a review on the wilderness since purchasing the vehicle?
I haven't yet because there are tons of great reviews already but I am planning to do a video of all my mods soon.
Them lights are bright. But will your alternator handle the power of all them lights being on? You may want to go with a bigger alternator with the power draw, maybe run a voltmeter to check power output, and supply to the battery.
Good idea and I pulled out my volt meter and it's busted.. let me get a new one and I'll let you know.
LEDs draw bugger all.
@@rodmcleod3072Not these kinds of leds
What are you using for side lights?
Nilight pods amzn.to/4aQFI4R
@@ChasingAdventuresCO thanks, I'll be getting a 2024 cross trek wilderness and want those on my ride. w/ some of your other modifications.
@@WilliamVavrek that's awesome! They are great lights to light up your camping spot or your surrounding
and you have those on/off through aux beam panel? @@ChasingAdventuresCO
Yes
Do we need to put fuse for the auxbeam?
I used the 6 gang switch panel which already has a fuse but the wiring kit comes with a fuse
@@ChasingAdventuresCO thanks
@@poginggwapitoblag9841 anytime!
@@ChasingAdventuresCO just hesitate but I really want to put in my ascent
@@poginggwapitoblag9841 you should! And use my discount code so you can save a few bucks!
That light bar looks super flimsy. As soon as you put the Auxbeam light on it to bolt down I see it vibrated. It’ll be bad on a gravel road
YES it is!! Not only on a gravel road but everywhere! LoL. That's is why it is still work in progress! But one thing is it's held up traveling into the deep woods and over 300+ miles road trip. Just need to figure a way out to make it stable
@@ChasingAdventuresCO haha I knew it. It needs thicker aluminum i think
@HBSSTC it's not so much thicker bar but the bracket holding the bar is flimsy. Need a better setup..
Looks like a UFO in the forest.
haha. 😁
