Im looking for some for my L what would be the best for it?? i have no idea of the outputs etc...theres a pair for $60 on there website!!

Get the $60 ones

What you'll need:

Long flat-head screwdriver to help remove the clips on the grill (4 on top, 2 on bottom underneath the left-/right-most upper clips)
20A fuseholder + 20A fuse (I have 4 remaining 20A glass fuses, so if you need one, let me know)
14G wire (the smallest roll they had was 8', and I had some left over)
8 Female terminal clips (make sure they fit the relay provided) - 4 for the relay, 2 for each Hella
3 O-rings to connect wires to battery/ground - 1 for battery, 1 for ground in engine bay, 1 for bolt outside the radiator
Vampire clips (this will help you with splicing so you don't have to use electrical tape like I did)
2 ¼" bolts (1" length), 4 ¼" washers, and 2 ¼" nuts (get the ones with the locks on the back if you can find them)
Tools to strip/crimp wires, and to loosen/tighten bolts
Electrical tape (you'll at least want this to wrap up the wires on the relay)
Dielectric grease
Zip-ties (this will help you mount the relay and to neaten up the wires)

I can help you install them, if you need

I got mine through RallyArmor - they were a bit more $$, but with the shipping cost savings with my mudflaps, I made out even

NOTE: I don't have any electrical supplies, so you'll need a wire stripper

EDIT: I have to look and try to find the 20A fuses - I'm not sure where they are (they should be in my trunk, but it's got a million things in there)

I need help with the rest of the grounding kit - but that can wait.

SideshowBob · « **Reply #10 on:** September 09, 2008, 10:15:36 PM »

I thought some people just put the tones in where the stockers go without issues?

if you get them and need a hand installing them give me a shout, i've done it and have it down to a science now because i had to do the wiring twice due to a bad grounding choice.

JayS02RS · « **Reply #14 on:** October 21, 2008, 09:33:13 AM »

I def need a pair. Almost got ran over by a 18wheeler as he blew through a yield.

I'd be willing to help you out - let me know when you get them in.

Make sure you have the items on my list in post 2 (haven't done them on an '08, so the bolts/nuts may be different, but we can figure it out)

Was the parts list complete enough?

WRXer · « **Reply #20 on:** November 06, 2008, 07:28:31 PM »

Oh ya, big thanks to Matt for the parts list. It was perfect. Only thing I added was some liquid tape by personal choice, I love the stuff.

Also, I see why you want to help out, (beside the fact that your just such a swell fella

) they were a fun install.

You gotta let 'em rip when people jaywalk in front of your car (that's about the only time I really use them)

Matt, your just a super nice guy. Very considerate.... not all of us have that much self control.
