So, what makes these headlights so special?
- All LEDs. Every bulb you will find in these headlights is LED. So, you do not have to deal with the bulbs that can burn out. The lifespan of Hikari LEDs is guaranteed to be over 50.000 hours, so you are getting a product that will last for years to come.

Installation information
As we said before, the installation is plug-and-play. This means that the plugs of the new headlights are exactly the same, as the plugs of your stock headlights. So, you do not have to cut the wires or alter the hosing to make the product work.
To make your new OLM headlights operate, you will need to install the circuit of daytime running lights (DRL). You can do that in two ways, and we will explain both of them here.
- Place the DRL circuit in the high beam slot of the fuse box. Also, you will need to disconnect the DRL resistor in your Subie. If you forget about this step, your high beams will be on along with the DRLs.
- Remove the factory high beam fuse. Next, install it in the lower slot of the add fuse. Now, plug the add a fuse when the 2 fuses are installed back into the high beam slot.
- To wire the product with the accessory power you will need to check the manufacturer’s installation instructions. You will cut one prong of the add a fuse off and insert it into the fuse box at the location it indicates.
- Note that when you install these LED headlights, you may need to disconnect the DRL resistor in the lower bumper by the passenger side. Disconnecting the DRL resistor in the lower bumper by the passenger side may be required.

Wow, nice headlights.
The brighter and longer-lasting LED lights will be a big improvement over the regular ones. These 19 wrx has been designed to give off an amazing glow that I love!
this looks pretty cool
If only the turn signal bulb was brighter! The light isn't as bright when it's on, but I still love everything else about these lamps.

I think they look pretty cool, too. The Acura jewel headlamps are similar in effect to these aftermarket ones – but you can get an authentic Japanese design with no worries! They’re made by OLM which means it’s probably not a high-end product either way when compared to other brands out there like Lexus or Toyota themselves (although their products do tend toward the luxury side). One concern I have about non-com lamps is whether or how often your seal will leak past where that big ol’ glass meets metal housing; this could happen both near where each bulb connects as well.
The closest thing I’ve found to my dream lights. These are the ones that will make me happy and not kill myself trying!
Gosh, I love how far these turn signals stretch. If they had just a little more length then it would be perfect and there is no way that anyone could ever tell which side of the road you’re on with all this range!
Curious to hear how long it took you from start-to finish, and also whether or not the install process is still simple. Sounds like plug ‘n play functionality!
I’m so happy I was able to do this. Taking my time, it took about 2 hours altogether for the install process but most of that is just getting things put back together again rather than taking them apart!
I am guessing there are adjustments for aiming these correctly once they are on the car?
Sure thing, there are adjusters. They will be of help if your Subie is lowered.
