Posted on 2014/04/15 by Shari

This guide is to show how to install the daytime running light wiring in a 2012-up Subaru WRX. This is especially important because if we directly install the LED bulbs on 2012-up Subaru WRX high beam daytime running lights, the LED bulbs will not fully light up. The new LED bulbs for daytime running light is a great addition to make your stock Subaru WRX stand out.

Please take a look at this diagram below to help illustrate the relay harness installation: Connect #4 and #5 to the LED bulbs Install the LED bulbs just like how we took out the stock bulbs Connect #3 and #2 to the ground To find a better ground, we need to find a bolt that has no paint and no rust. Connect #1 to battery positive. Always connect #1 last.

Posted on 2014/02/24 by Eric Wu

LED daytime running lights are becoming extremely popular nowadays. Unfortunately, this optional feature is not available to all makes and models. For example, unlike its brother Subaru BRZ, Scion FR-S in the US does not come with LED daytime lights. This car has a tuner ready shell and LED daytime running lights are not part of the agenda. However, the popular rising aftermarket brand, Rocket Bunny, begs to differ as the version 2 body kit on the Scion FR-S comes equipped with high power LED daytime running lights.

The Rocket Bunny Version 2 body kit for the Scion FR-S features a total of 10 pieces high power LED daytime running lights mounted onto the bumper right below the headlights. The Rocket Bunny Version 2 is an aggressively styled body kit and the LED daytime running lights is just icing on the cake to complete the design. Although the cost of the Rocket Bunny Version 2 kit is well over $5000 US Dollars so it would not make sense to purchase the kit just for the sake of the LED daytime running lights. iJDMTOY’s 10W high power LEDayFlex Style LED daytime running light kit can help you achieve a similar look to the Rocket Bunny Version 2 front end for a small fraction of the cost.
