We now offer our own supplemental plug and play kit that will make it so you no longer have to T-Tap into the factory wiring, included for FREE! If you want to be able to also run your lights as a DRL (plug and play) choose the DD DRL harness as well. The Turn Signal Plug and play Harness applies to 2015-2020 WRX Base and Premium + 2015-2017 WRX Limited/STI. The C-Light PnP applies only to 2015-2020 WRX Base and Premium.

Time to upgrade your WRX or STi headlamps! These C-Light LED modules are circuit boards that fit right behind the factory diffusing reflector, illuminating in an extremely bright white, as well as a brilliant amber. Don't be fooled by other options on the market: these LEDs have been designed from the ground-up, and manufactured in St. Louis, Missouri, to be absolutely the brightest lights physically possible. They are compatible with all factory headlamps: WRX Base/Premium as well as WRX Limited and STi.

The custom-designed LED modules replace the factory bulb or single LED, illuminating with a much higher intensity. With our proprietary high-density "HDLED" technology, these modules are populated with over 500 LED chips, which are then coated by a diffusing gel, resulting in a perfectly uniform light when turned on. When it's off, the diffusing gel hides the chips, resulting in a clean, OEM appearance.

Manufactured in USA, the modules light in a pure 6000K white color, not a cool blue like cheaper products on the market. And because they use modern high-power amber chips, rather than traditional LEDs, the amber is even brighter than the white!

To power the modules efficiently, your order includes two custom-designed drivers, which feature transient voltage suppression, reverse protection, and a switching driver for extremely high reliability over time. And here's what really makes this product shine over the competition: with an embedded microcontroller, the drivers utilize multi-stage PWM dimming, to allow for a half-brightness white, for use at night (parking lights), as well as a full-power white, for use as DRL during the day. Finally, the amber is run at even higher power, making the turn signal easily visible in broad daylight!

SPECIFICATIONS
Total LEDs: 524 (262 per side)
Real LED Output Power: 13 watts Amber, 10 watts DRL, 5 watts parking (per side)
Inputs: Plug-and-play connector for ground and parking light. T-taps for DRL and turn signal.
Integrated Protection: Full waterproofing and shockproofing, transient suppression, overvoltage protection, thermal shutdown, reverse input protection.

 

Wiring instructions are included with your order. You will need to use the included T-tap connectors to connect the drivers to ground, parking signal, and turn signal on each side. Another wire is included for DRL connection. You can tap this into your DRLs to have the C-Light come on as a DRL alongside your factory DRL bulb.

DRL Harness: If you wish, you can add this harness to your order. Fully plug-and-play, this harness will disable your factory DRL, and power the C-Lights instead. Your high beam will still work as normal.

Professional installation is recommended for this product, as the headlights must be opened. However, these lamps are substantially easier than most to work with, so we do recommend watching the installation process yourself, by viewing our video.

All Diode Dynamics products are backed by a 3-year replacement warranty.

    WRX C Light

    Posted by Brian on May 3rd 2021

    The C Lights look great, especially with blacked out housings. The plug n play harness supplied by subiebros definitely made life easier as well. I definitely trust it more than using t taps from diode dynamics, just seems like a more secure connection. And they throw it in for free, so I don’t know why you’d wanna buy these lights from anyone else.

    C lights

    Install was surprisingly easy. Did not have to bake the assemblies at all. Took my heat gun to the seal area for about 5 minutes never letting the gun sit at any spots, just a nice constant fan/waving action and they opened up fairly easily. Install the the led boards was very straight forward and the directions were spot on. Only recommendation is to make sure to have some extra butyl sealant to try and plug the hole where your boards wire harness comes through the headlamp housing . Not sure that it would allow moisture in or not but seemed to be a red flag area on an otherwise fun and easy DIY!

    Diode Dynamics C Lights

    Posted by Unknown on Jun 2nd 2020

    Took about 5 hours to completely install with all the wiring and reattaching the bumper of my base model. A big improvement in the looks of the front end with the DRL function. I opted for the DRL harness and recommend. Hardest part was opening the lights, new sealant a must. Read wiring instructions I connected both red instead of red and white, ended up blowing a fuse. A must have mod for base/premium imo.

    Excellent LED quality

    Great quality kit! The LEDs fit perfectly in the c-light housings and the light they produce are bright and very clean. The DRL’s standout a lot and make the car look much more modern.

    Highly recommend these lights. Simple install after you open the headlights. Ensure the clight clips are on well. I ended up using some super clue to ensure the clips stayed in. Lights are bright and the drl function makes them brighter, then lowers power when going into full headlights. The switch back to yellow for blinker function works perfectly. Plug and play into the factor wiring. Just follow the instructions to tap into the original clights, blinker, and drl. Recommend getting the drl harness!

    Looks good and completes the look of the car. Wish it was included in the base model but it all right.
