Sub-Goon's '97 Outback

[am_sky]

Hey man,
I'm new to the forum, obviously.

I've got a '99 Subaru Legacy Outback 2.5L DOHC. I was able to get my foglights to stay on with my high beams by grounding out the switch, which was easy. I want to make the foglights completely independent, and I haven't the foggiest idea how. Everything I have read applies to '00+ and the wiring systems are completely different. There is no fog relay in the box under the hood and I didn't want to to fool around with the rat's nest under the dash because that is different too. Does anyone have an idea of how to go about doing this? Anything would be greatly appreciated!

Ive also looked into this and only found info on the Gen3s. And I tried to locate the fog relay, but without much luck. Ive been meaning to examine a wiring diagram, should be an easy deal once the relay is located. It should just require locatingwhich wireis the power source and changing it from a headlight source to a switched/ignition source.
If you locate the relay or find the info, please do a diy and share with the rest of us!

PickNPull in San Jose has a 97 Green Legacy 2.2L mono tone Legacy with hatch/doors in good shape.

Did the hatch have the wing?

Just hatch, no wing.

Can't wait to see new update of your outback.

Well, I finally got a chance to do some work on the car today! I was pretty bummed to miss a beautiful moto day, tho!
I got the new door swapped out. Last weekend, I had stripped the vinyl and the window tint, and swapped the folding mirror and the color matched exterior handle. Unfortunately, I forgot to take a pic, but the color matched handle makes a huge difference!

I did get the Front Strut Tower Brace installed. It looks a little odd with the bar curved down, but with it curved up it spring-loads the hood and stresses it.

I also got the STi pedals mounted, they work awesome and are comfortable with improve grip! I odered them from ebay late one night and hadn't fully read the description, they are actually knockoffs for a 2010 Forester. They are not perfect fits but look just fine and I couldnt beat the price ~$25!
I also installed a locating pin for the drivers side floor mat that I had found from a Gen3 Outback a while back. Its always drove me crazy when the mat slips up under the gas pedal!

I still have lots of parts left to install, such as: MSD Coil, NGK plug wires, TPS, drivers seat belt
