I honestly can't even hear the crickets without having my windows down so I'm not sure why it's such a big deal to people.
The only time I roll my window down is when I need to get on base. But I could hear this all the time.

Have you plugged the "sound tube" inside the car? The only thing I can think of that would make a difference. Even though my car does seem quieter than my other 86 friend's.

they'll be back and eventually subaru will tell you to take a hike.

personally i wouldn't want people touching high pressure fuels likes that often.

I must say the car looks a hell of a lot more aggressive with them on as DRL's.

How does the install look under the hood? I watched their video a few weeks ago and it looks like a lot of wires all over the place. Does it clean up nicely?

It depends on how much effort you put into it.
You can have the wires just out on top of everything or tuck it under so it isn't visible.

This is literally the first time I've ever seen or heard someone use "bae" in real life. I'd always heard that it was used, but never seen it happen.

It looks every bit as stupid as I imagined.

The Danish translation makes it a little better. Took the poops for a drive...
