05 Baja Turbo JDM HID headlight install

Post by Mushu84 »

Hello all, I've recently got my hands on a set of "JDM Subaru Legacy GT Baja Outback Headlights 2000-2006 BE5 BH5" to install into my Baja, but am having some issues finding wiring diagrams for the USDM headlight that are currently installed, as well as the wiring diagrams for the headlights I bought.

Has anyone here completed this swap?

One thing to note is, since Japan drives on the other side of the road, you'll likely need to adjust the vertical aim.

Lights are typically aimed higher on the curb side so you can see the road signs, and lower on the opposite side to not blind oncoming traffic. You'll likely need to lower the driver's side and raise the passenger's side to reverse the Japanese setup.

Not sure if your Baja will have this issue, but My 03 Legacy L had to get trimmed around the radiator support to fit the Ballast. I basically hammered it down and primer rattle can painted it. The Legacy L came with the Single Bulb Headlights, same as the 05/06 Baja Sport (Non Turbo.)

I'll hopefully secure a set down the line for the Baja, but I really love the blacked out ones I have currently.

Cheers!
