Hi - My 2008 2.0l Hatchback Impreza RX has really poor headlights. Dealership told me that they were "as they should be" (?) So I'm looking to upgrade them. I'd like to put a Lightbar on it, but thats imposible with the body shape. Been looking at Morimoto XB and they look really good. Sent email and asked if they could confirm the system was UK compliant - this was their reply . . . All of our XB lights are designed for and tested on US spec vehicles. I do not believe they would be UK complian

Can anyone tell me the largest diameter discs I can fit front and rear without running into need for mods? Believe the standard discs are 275mm but hopefully there is something bigger I can fit.

Front are 26 and 18 inch, 19mm top lock connector (TLC), also known as push button. Heyner blades 028009 and 036000 with B1 connector £29.84 inc p&p. Bosch Icon 18OE and 26OE from Amazon at £60 the pair, delivered from USA are original equipment , come with correct connector fitted. Halfords don’t sell any that will fit according to their website. Other sites reckon my car is a 2021 model based on inputting reg number, but Subaru changed the connector for 2022 model from hook to TLC. Vi

I couldn't find a thread for outback reliability generally. I've read a lot about problems about foresters here and specifically the diesel boxer. So what about outbacks? And the petrol outbacks?

Thanks for advice (soc), I had'nt considered trying better bulbs - I'll head for Halfords. Also, bulbs will be a heck-of-a-site cheaper than Morimoto and as long as I get plenty of light, it'll be job done.

It may be worth looking at Braided Brake Hoses (such as Goodridge) for the first immediate improvement for less than £100

I would agree that they are not road legal as they are usually mounted on the vehicle in a region which is not accepted by VOSA, DVLA, etc. and clearly states that driving lights need to be positioned on each side of the car at the front. Beyond that, if you fitted some on the grill area or lower down where fog lamps would be then for occasional use and especially rural areas I dont see the problem if you can switch them down as soon as a vehicle approaches. Also, it would be worth changing the headlamp bulbs for Philips or any other aftermarket bulbs with higher intensity and performance - Halfords sell a good range and they really do make a difference at night and are street legal

Halfords want £44, Amazon £24. Thanks for the heads up

Halfords now seem to stock a set of Bosch wipers that would fit your Outback model year: https://www.halfords.com/motoring/wiper-blades/bosch-aerotwin-wiper-blade-set-a399s-220995.html
