Hi all new here. I've tried forever to access this site from work but for some reason the firewall only filters out the forum content not the entire website.

I have a 95 Legacy L outback wagon. At first I was thinking about lifting it and adding some GG AT2's but I've seen these BG wagons slamed and rimmed and they look pretty good. I need help finding wagon spoilers, hoods, etc for this generation. All ebay has is JDM headlights and + shipping its just way expensive.

ebay has tons of stuff!

But don't lower the car if your goal is offroading. Stick to mud or street, not both.

Ugh, i guess I'm just a noob at entering search queries. For example I'm looking for aftermarket headlights, not necessarily just JDM. I enter legacy headlights, 95 legacy headlights, or bg5 headlights and all i get is a bunch of lightbulbs, a couple stock headlights and maybe 2 or 3 sets of expensive to ship JDM headlights. BG wagon spoilers are a whole nother monster in trying to track down on ebay.

You won't find much non-JDM in the headlight section for the BG/BK/BD.

You can get the JDM projectors retro'd by HeresMyMind on this board though, he'll set you up with LHD projectors with HID kits etc.

Spoilers, theres always a few up for sale.

You can also find a wrecked GT wagon and snag it for pennies.

Welcome!

The only other style of headlights are the Morrettes, Decke48 and Sybir have them and they are neat looking, but they are very expensive and rare.

Reuben, a member here, can also get you JDM projectors from NZ too.

Thanks all. The classified sections for NASIOC, SL-I, and LegacyGT are goldmines too. Just paypaled sum1 for some broken down JDM headlights with BMW projectors or something. I guess so that they aim the right way?

Yeah, I saw that ad as well, you will have to retrofit the BMW projector into the JDM housing by cutting up the JDM projector mount. The reason for the retrofit is the JDM projectors are designed for a right hand drive light pattern, so there is unwanted light that will blind traffic in the US. You will also need special HID bulbs and ballasts for the BMW projectors.

Check out this DIY post for help on the actual retrofit.

Excellent. I'll see what I need to do when the parts come in. From what I read there I can use these projectors without the use of HID? The electronic boxes look expensive. Am I going to be able to use the BMW HID projectors under regular power?

You must use real D2S HID bulbs in these projectors.

For the HID stuff, (ballast and bulbs) look here. I have a set of Raptor brand and they work fine.

But first you need read up at this website. It contains all things necessary to know about retrofitting, HID, and lights.
