I'm sure you could find a way to block it so that only the logo is projected. Lol.I put those on my old Outback once. My wife made fun of me pretty hard because they shout "SUBARU" at you. I wish they made a more subtle version that only projects the emblem, or just the 6 stars would be ideal IMHO.
I just realized that after I had typed it. Now I have to dig those things out of a box in the garage somewhere... It's time for a little arts & crafts.I'm sure you could find a way to block it so that only the logo is projected. Lol.
I may do that as well. I replaced the door lamps with 5000K (real white) leds on my old Outback and they lit up the ground way better than the stock bulbs. I like warm white in the interior, so I will source out warm white LEDs for the inside, while everything on the outside will be pure white. The thing is most "white" LEDs are too bluish. Vendors like Diode Dymanics and VLEDS (my favorite - a step above DD) offer various shades of white which is nice. You roll the dice when you get Amazon/eBay LEDs.I just realized that my doors have the door step / “puddle” (wired) lights too! But man they are pretty dim...
While I dig the idea of the logo projectors, I think I will likely instead replace the stock bulbs with white LEDs to see if I can get a more useful light output. I believe they are 2825 W5W Bulbs. Ordering a set and will post up before and after pics later once they get here and are installed.
Cheapest 194 VLED I found was $6 a piece. That seems like a **** of a markup?I may do that as well.

That's completely up to you. The best LEDs I have ever seen are Triton V3 from VLEDs (7440 size). I had three sets in my Outback and they were well made and extremely bright. They also cost $300. I often do cheap/fast experiments for no good reason other than to educate myself on what's out there. so I've tried lots of LEDs over the years from various sources. I've used eBay/Amazon with mixed results. But you know exactly what you're getting with VLEDs (and probably Diode Dynamics - I haven't tried them).VLED can't be $91 better????
Could you share the link for those?I went with these LEDs for the doors lights - sold in pairs, bought 2 sets (total of 4 LED “bulbs”) for about $14 off of Amazon. I liked these because the LEDs are only mounted on one side of the PCB (no point in shining light up into the interior of the door...). Just remember to orient the LEDs so that the chips point down towards the clear plastic “lens”.
Plug and play - 5 minutes max.
I kinda like the results so far (stock on the drivers side, white LED on he passenger’s side).
Cheers!
