Instructions for Installing LED Bulbs

Model: Subaru Legacy BM, BR, MK 5 - Years 2009-2014
Part: Light bulb

Installing LED bulbs inside the cabin and possibly for the number plate lights will give the vehicle a much more appealing and modern look. Specific kits are also available that manufacturers have prepared for each car model, containing the correct number and type of bulbs. Start by replacing the courtesy lights in the cabin by disconnecting the ceiling lights and replacing the festoon bulbs. If the LED bulb does not light up when inserted, rotate it 180° (LEDs have a polarity that must be respected). Continue with the side lights on the door panel, the one in the boot, and finally the number plate lights, for which you need to remove the internal trim of the rear hatch.

Tips on How to Change the Glow Plugs on 1.3 MJT Engines

The 1.3 CDTI engine is used in many models from Fiat, Lancia, Opel, and Suzuki, making glow plug wear a common issue. The glow plugs are located at the front of the engine, just in front of the rocker cover. Simply remove the engine cover to locate them. A quick functionality check can be done by disconnecting the connector and gently touching the glow plug with an electric wire connected to the positive terminal of the battery: if a spark occurs, the glow plug is fine. A problem that may arise during replacement is that the glow plug may not unscrew. It is advisable to spray some penetrating oil and let it sit overnight before unscrewing it with an 8 mm socket. Before installing the new one, apply some special grease and do not exceed the torque specification.
