Subaru engine bays are difficult to get right...but once they are, they look great

Conduit, you can get it from repco, supercheap or even bunnings.

I've got a brilliant roll of electrical tape at home that my bro-in-law gets from work (he's an industrial electrician), but no idea what the brand is..I'll have to check!

great thanks bois...

I was thinking of instead of relocating the battery to the boot i would just drop it in the front fender, any reason why ppl havent done this (dangerous on impact)??

I was thinking of moving the fuse box behind the fog lights..

Both these relocations shouldnt involve any wire extensions, i think..

Also i would just extend the wiring for connections which are over the drivers side of the car. This should clean up the engine bay fairly easily without much expense??

Battery in the boot would be the best. I believe it has to be located on the opposite side to the fuel inlet hose though.

Having a CAI in guaud can be scary enough at times, let alone a battery! Do it properly Tino!!

hey damian,

personally i wouldn't worry about it. you can't use the same kit as the headlights as each globe requires it's own ballast. you'd have to purchase another set with the appropriate globes which not only would cost you couple of hundred $$ but as others have said...would blind the other drivers as xenon lights are lot brighter.

to be honest i've only we only had the foggies on once just to try it out
