If you want to have just your regular lights on without the foglights hit the switch that came with the harness to off. Or if you want the fogs to always come on when you turn on your regular lights just leave the switch on

may be a stupid question (never had fogs on my cars), but do cars ever just have fogs on or do you have rear lights on too no matter the car?

Im not sure this is my first car with fogs aswell lol. I'm assuming that they don't just stay on unless someone flips a switch. but not entirely sure. Sorry I can't answer your question with confidence lol but I do know that when we turn on our parking lights are rear lights turn on aswell

Hey guys, I just got into it with the Subaru parts retailer that is linked in this topic. They overcharged me for residential UPS delivery, which adds a surcharge to the shipment that this retailer is pocketing as profit. When I called them out on it, they pointed me to the fine print on their website that says they will do that... and that they have no control over it. I have shipped enough UPS items to know that it is just a checkbox that changes the pricing. I got a refund and will be ordering from one of these other retailers.


Here are some better alternatives for the lights:

PREVIOUSLY LINKED SUBARUPARTSFORYOU.COM
$42/ea + $23 UPS Residential = $107

SUBARUPARTS.COM (Tacoma WA)
$45/ea + $11 UPS Ground = $101

SUBARUPARTSDEPOT.COM (Owing Mills MD)
$41/ea + $15 UPS GROUND = $97

Additionally, the bulb size for these lights are H11 if you want to order HIDs or other bulbs.

that sucks Darren.. also, I'd like to add that people should check out their local dealers and see how much they can get them for. I got mine for $104 taxed and they had them in stock.. so I you're near by, don't have to worry about dealing with online.. plus you're helping your local dealers too
