I''ve been searching around the net and have found very little headlight alternatives for the BE's. I have a GT Limited with one broken and thought I could replace it with some nice JDM lights. Well I may be reduced to using the GT limited lamps or other models? Don't know if outbacks or regular legacies were different than the GT that year. Help please.

They're a bit more focused on 2nd gen legacies like yours, (I'm there to help you, too, ) and you'll get less flames for tossing 'JDM' and 'lights' in the same sentence.

Is pointing out the fact that JDM lights just aren't suitable for North American roads a "flame?" Cuz it's true.

You do have a few options, Rob, but none are cheap or easy to obtain. It does suck that Subaru decided to put such lousy headlights on BEs. The GT's lights are a little better than the base model's, but they still leave a lot to be desired.

If you can somehow get your hands on some European-market BE headlights, those would be great. It's probably no help, but I do have the FHI part numbers: 84001AE200 and 84001AE210.

Aside from that, I think you're limited to custom work using, for example, the 90mm Hella headlights that evolutionmovement is using in his custom lights on his 1st-gen.

Otherwise, you're limited to getting high-output standard-wattage bulbs, and installing a heavy-duty wiring harness. These two will make a very noticeable difference on their own, and should be done even if you do switch lamps.

I've been doing vikash-style anti-jdm-lighting rants over at SLi, and they don't listen..

It sucks fighting the good fight..

You do realize he doesn't have a second gen right?
