What do you guys think of raptor lights / amber grill lights side markers (not 100% sure what to call them). Couldn't find any photos online so I decided to do it myself to see for myself. This is what it looks like. Drop your thoughts below!

First Crosstrek I've seen with them. With a modded car like yours, think it looks ok. With a stock car, probably not so much. As long as you like them, who cares what others think.

Have you given any thought to using some touch up paint on the black bumper plugs so they don't stand out?

Haha ya I probably should clean those up. And thank you

They're called clearance lights. They are mandated for taller/wider vehicles to indicate as such to other drivers.

On a small vehicle like a Crosstrek they are obviously unnecessary so they look a bit poseur, IMO. They might look better if they were smaller, not as bright, and if they were even across the grill. More subtle.

Most states will ticket you for having more than four lights on in the front. Since these are not factory and not required for the size of your vehicle, they fall under that rule.

I did it a year ago

Model Years 2018 to 2023 - "Raptabru" front...

When my car grows up it wants to be a Raptor lol.. First things first, I take this very seriously... I know my car needs a wash :p All jokes aside, here is how I installed the lights. I didnt feel much like removing the front bumper again to take the grill out, so to Youtube I went. I came...

Oh wow, looks very good, I was gonna go with 3 lights like you did, but thought maybe would look good with 4. Sick build man, keep it up

Really liking this. Nice job. What lights did you use? Any pics showing how they were mounted?

 

[Baby_trek]

Yes, they were just called amber grill lights on Amazon for $10. Mounting was a little tricky but for the 2 side ones I used jbwelb and for the 2 inner ones I used black wire and drilled a few tiny holes to keep them in place

I think they actually look really really cool, but I would definitely black out the chrome on the grill to stop the reflection with some matte black spray paint.

Absolutely, I hate chrome haha

Same. I also spray painted my chrome door belt moldings matte black, along with the grill chrome moldings. I love those Raptor lights on yours.

OP: Were you on a trip or do you just haul around the silverwing luggage cover all over the place for “looks”?

 

[michaeljpark]

Yo this looks sick! Who cares if it poser-ish, i think it looks dope man! Do these lights turn on with the headlight or is there a button inside the cabin to turn it on?

I like it but that looks like a wiring nightmare behind the grill.
