Cool-  the sport light setup looks good - let us know how the wiring goes. always wondered do they go on one of the crossbars or do they come with one of thier own?<br><br>Bob - waiting for some lights of my own.<br>

[cliffhanger]

yeah, alright, those look nice ;D just wondering how bright they actually are (like a candlepower spec) b/c i want a set, but want them to be madd blinding!!

They attach to one of the existing bars.  Anyone installing these-I have a suggestion.  Don't do as they say and leave the bar on the truck-take it off, then install the lights, then install the bar & lights back on the truck!<br><br>

Looks great!  I too just received my Sport Activity Lights this week.  Unfortunately, I'm not going to be able to install them for a month.  Any words of wisdom would be great, especially whether or not you found the wiring difficult.

I mounted mine the same way that YELLOWBLAZE did,its easier to do off the vehicle leave them alittle loose for aiming after you install the bar onto the roof.When installing the roof harness,the instructions have you taking alot of plastic off.I did'nt want to strip mine down like that,so i done it another way.I pulled the 3rd brake light out,once its out you'll see the plug to the right,thats where the roof harness plugs into.Pop out the square roof plugs in the brake light housing and remove the screws.Take the small end of the roof harness and guide it through the opening under the panel to the pass side corner next to the roof rail,after you trim the weather strip.You will need to do some prying up on the panel to get the harness through,so be careful.I found it to be easier and faster than going by the insruuctions for installing the roof harness.Good luck

Hey Yellowblaze, looks VERY nice. Was that the set you bought on e-bay?? Makes the little critter look a little tougher than stock. I like it, may have to find/make a set for mine.   Mike

Yup, sure is-it's the whole kit, got it from a subie dealer, they list stuff all the time 40-50% off on ebay....

I didn't realize that the lights were made by Hella for Subaru. They should work really well then. What pattern are they ie fog,driving ?<br><br>Bob
