I bought the below headlights to replace 3rd gens, but they fit like crap anyone else have this problem?

 

I was considering those. How exactly do they fit like crap?

 

hehe they make your car look bug eyed.. kinda weird lookin in my opinion.

but yeah, how do they fit like crap? do they leave a big gap or something?

 

You're gonna have to mess with them to get them to fit right. I have those same ones. It took me quite a bit to get them to fit correctly. i found it was best to set them in there so that the looks like they fit perfectly. Then push the corner closest to the fender in so that you can put the bolt back in and tighten it down as tight as you can (make sure the corner closest to the center of the car stays as clost to where you origionally put it as you can). Then once you have that bolt tightened down push the corner nearest the grill in until you can fit the 2nd bolt through the hole. It will be tight and you might have to angle it a bit at first to start it but eventually it will go (it actuallykind of ovals out the plastic hole in the headlights. Mine fit almost perfect. Check out my cardomain site. the linkis in my sig. Lemme know if you have any questions...

 

I tried it all....... Had two master techs helping me,lol.... How many Subaru techs does take to put in a headlight? More than i had with me.... The only bolt I could get to go in is the one closest to the fender on both sides.... They dont line up with the hood either..... I have the 3rd gens as well and they fit perfect but I cracked one of the lenses on the highway... oh well.....

 

i can only use 1 out of the 2 bolts on each on my gen 1's

 

this is exactly what i had to do. i like em

 

yepp. my right one has a huge gap, only can use one bolt.

left one fits perfectly.

just the way they are, I love them though.

 

mine fit perfectly

 

for those of you who can only get one bolt in you need to put some weight into it. Push as hard as you can. It will go...

 

You BASTARD!!!!!!!!!!lol....j/k

Yea so thea are basically jerry/rigged with one bolt each and a zip tie's.......lol..... They look good though and they aim is dead on..... I just wish they fit like the gen3's or OEM...

 

yeah i got lucky and had a buddy help me put mine in and like i said they fit fine...every cars different though i guess

 

yeah i got the anzo projectors from ttr and they were a pain in the ass to get to fit and screw in but i got them, helps if u have someone help push them into place while u try to screw in the screws.
