In a really shit spot!!!

It's barely accessible by hand just behind the radiator under the intake housing about a quarter way down. I've managed to adjust the spring with a hex key, but it wasn't easy at all.

OK, I was just wondering because I am looking at relocating mine to my TMIC, and was wondering if you had done the same...

As the LEDs were starting to fail on the old tail lights I figured it was finally time to go ahead with the Valenti tail lights I've been keen on for ages.

Pretty stoked with the result, they look heaps better than I expected. Inner lamps were a pain to install as the wiring connectors didn't seem to match up with anything so I had to cut and rewire everything, but totally worth it.

They look EVIL at night. :twisted: :twisted: :twisted:

Yeah they look choice.

What did you cut? There was no cutting involved with mine... :shock:

Ok, well prior to fitting the Valenti's I'd hacked my inner tail light wires to get Geno's old custom LED tail lights to fit, but when I tried to revert to the old connections which I'd kept, I couldn't see how any of the Valenti connectors could have connected....

I'll grab some photos of the connectors tomorrow for reference.

So your connectors just matched up with the Valenti ones? What did you do with the rear fog light connections? I just tucked mine away in case I figure out a way to use them one day.

That explains it - the Valentis just plug into the old stock bulb holders from memory.
The fog light didn't get connected to anything either.

Yep pretty much what I did as well.

Tail lights look great btw, the smoked ones suits your murdered out look hehe

Hey mate,

I grabbed it on a group buy from SubaruGenuineParts.com

These used to happen pretty frequently, not sure if they still happen.
