those that have a wagon with the trunk light is the bulb under the cover large enough for a LED retrofit?

I ran into that issue with my 03 Forester but then again the LED's were not the surface mount type.. but the socket stuck out so far that I was not able to put the cover back on with the LED board in place.

The Legacy uses a 194 bulb for the trunk light right? would it be large enough to fit a 48 LED light? last time I tried that (still have the LED) the cover would never fit over the LED's because the light housing was so shallow.

Can you take a pic of the light you have to use?

It might work, I know it won't for the sedans.

on the subject of lights (about to order a bunch of LED's) the JDM wagon lights they are 1157 bulbs right? and the reverse 1156? and the JDM turn signal bulbs 1157?

Turn signals should be 1156, and the reverse.

ok thanks

I thought the amber bulb in the JDM projector would be a parking light when it's not blinking.

One thing I was going to ask but I thought it was just because of a amber bulb.. the JDM headlights I did not know it had an orange part in it.. I thought the turn signal was clear.. I wonder if it's worth removing or don't bother.
