Recently retrofitted some ‘15-‘17 sti headlights on my ‘21 wrx, along with installing a DRL harness. I noticed that the oem c light was only really visible at night but thought maybe I had gotten a bad pair of lights. Turns out they’re just that dim like you explained in the vid. I’ll be installing the diode dynamics c light soon.

@Scoobyfreak86
@Scoobyfreak86 2 года назад
The fog lights are powered by the headlights. They would need to be rewired to an independent switch or tapped into a different power source. No condensation issues. If you use proper sealant like I used in the video, you won't have any issues.

@Scoobyfreak86

Hey man. Can’t think of any off the top of my head. Most people with 2018+ headlights don’t do the c light upgrade since the c light is the drl from the factory. I would try hitting up Lightwerkz with your questions as they will be able to give you a better idea.

The c light is the turn signal so it functions just like the stock turn signal. So yes, It turns amber when the hazards are on.

@Scoobyfreak86
@Scoobyfreak86 4 года назад
You would need to do some extensive work to retro in different projectors on the adaptive LED’s. Your best bet is to start with base wrx headlights and modify from there.

Do you think if you used a heat gun on the smoked reflector to try and see if you could get the necessary bend out of it?
@Scoobyfreak86
@Scoobyfreak86 4 года назад
It’s hard plastic. They might mold a bit, but I’m afraid over time the tabs would break driving and then would have to open the headlights back up. Not worth the headache and stress. I’m happier I went with the OEM pieces.

I've had these c lights for a while & a driver went bad and I drove around for a bit without it working. DD replaced the driver for free as always, in fact sent me two, but I didn't get a chance to replace it for a while. Any way after I did, the c-light did work BUT only as a DRL if I had the light stick on off. When on auto or on it would not run as a DRL or light up at all, though on auto or off the switchback/hazard feature worked no issues. I also took the extra driver they provided & swapped that in, same results. I did check all my connections. Any insights?
@Scoobyfreak86
@Scoobyfreak86 3 года назад
Definitely a strange issue. Usually issues like that lies with connection and grounding points. Do you have the drl harness connected properly?

They are if you originally had them. But coming from the wrx halogens, it’s a nice upgrade and an OEM piece. You can also retro a good projector into yours, but for a simple plug and play, OEM LED is the easiest solution.
