    Finally had the opportunity to use the info in this very well explained...very well paced video...and install a pair of Diode Dynamics SS3/Yellow Lens fog lamps. Excellent video...BEST of the BUNCH out there on this topic!!! Would've been hard pressed to figure out w/o this. Saved me some money on installation. THANKS VERY MUCH!

    What is the difference between the H4510SG120 and H4510SG160 kits? I understand that the *120 is for Turbo, but how are they different? Will the process be the same for my 2018 Subaru Forester 2.0L CVT XT Premium? Thanks!

      @@DIYCarHunters Thanks for the video! It worked for me and the lights are in. The 2018 kit came with the replacement button panel so I didn't have to drill a hole and also a couple of additional plastic screws to hold the light in place but other than that mostly the same. Their instructions wanted me to remove the entire glove compartment panel and I'm glad you showed us that we can get to the relay through the bottom - much easier.

    good walkthrough. i have a 2018 xt and install was just the same. does anyone know where to find a tutorial or video or any info on some sort of bypass for the fog lights so you can have them on without having the low beams on? i would love to be able to turn the fogs on without having my headlights on. i realize the drls will probably still be on though.

    i have a 2017 forester base and it doesn't look like that. it seems to have an all black bezel but with a plastic circle piece where the light would be. can i use that bezel and just get the light? i haven't taken it off to see if the bumper has the same bolt holes in it like this one.

      You will need fog lamp brackets from the Dlr everything else will work the same

      yeah its pretty much the same for all subarus - my impreza had the wires tucked up and everything- subaru is pretty simple with design and location of stuff- doesnt really change too much across models- same oil filters, cabin filters, bulbs etc
