Headlight Housing

Post by mikeeitup »

So my current ones on the Turbo is damaged beyond resto repair. I really wanna try and get the non turbo headlights for the car now. My reason is, then I can buy LED bulbs for it and only have to buy one set. I was wondering if the non turbo headlight housings will plug into the Turbo harness and work? Anybody try this? Is it just a bad idea? Lemme know what you know/think!

Not plug and play, but pretty close. Just a few wire crimps.

It was more of a difference between the Sport and non-Sport ones:

"A lower priced "Sport" model, equipped with cloth interior and manually-adjustable seats followed later in the production year, also without color-keyed exterior door handles and mirrors, four-beam headlamps, leather shift and steering wheel, front door puddle lights or an illuminated ignition key ring."
- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subaru_Baja

So, the Sport models only had two-bulb headlight assemblies.

Heated seats, yes, I believe so. Pretty sure the bed cover was still an optional extra.

^ Baja Turbo with Leather Package had the bed cover standard.

Here's what came standard with 06 Baja types: http://www.cars101.com/subaru/baja/baja2006.html (it lists the specs for the 05 because the 06 specs are the same, only difference are color choices & alarm system)

So depending on if you have a Baja Turbo or Baja Turbo Leather, it adds a few more gadgets as standard. Though there's always the chance of custom-ordered ones with optional extras (my 06 sport HAD :evil: a dealership-installed soft bed cover but it was removed some time before I bought it).
