    Overhauled the lighting on my wife’s ride:

    German H9 Phillips low beams with dedicated H9 pigtail:
    Philips 12361B1 H9 Standard Halogen Replacement Headlight Bulb, 1 Pack
    $11 Philips 12361B1 H9 Standard Halogen Replacement Headlight Bulb, 1 Pack
    https://www.amazon.com/dp/B003YMPN3A/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_Z6HBFb3YKASH8

    Made sure to stay within the same color temperature with the DRL’s / Highbeams; again German Phillips bulbs:
    Philips 9005 VisionPlus Upgrade Headlight with up to 60% More Vision, 2 Pack
    $25 Philips Automotive Lighting 9005 VisionPlus Upgraded Headlight with up to 60% More Vision, 2 Pack
    https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00U1OLG6W/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_t5HBFbNWQ77W8

    Finally was able to install the Diode Dynamics SS3 Pro in selective yellow.

    I have major fog light envy down to the bone.

    The fogs look amazing!
    My nephew bought those fogs for his '14 crosstrek last month. He also installed a 2" lift, sparco rims, and 225/65/R17 Wildpeak a/t trails.
    I'm going to be getting the same tires in a 225/60/R17 finally for my '17 limited. Got 45k on the stock geolanders, but they'll be too bald by winter, so I'll be ordering the new tires in the next few days.

    No worries mate. I pulled the trigger on a booster fuse to put in the ALT-S location. It’s coming from OZ...I’ll keep you posted!

    Got my wheels & tires on. Love the look. Just a bit louder than I'd thought they'd be too. Anxious to see how it does with snow.

    Thanks to op and all contributors in this thread for help in deciding for size suggestions.

    Looks bomb as hell! Not a fan of the Generals. I ran them on my old battle wagon and they didn’t do as well in the snow as I would have liked.

    Good to know. I bought this set for $500 off Craigslist in Philly. Wheels & tires like new. Not particularly the tire I was looking to get, but I couldn't turn it down. Next set will definitely be the Falken Wildpeak Trail.

    16-17 are the best ones they’ve made.

    gotta go with a manual.

    Yeah, I've got a 17. Unfortunately it's not a manual...but it is a limited, so awesome leather interior with heated seats.

    HKB Voltage Booster installed earlier this week. It arrived after about 80 days of transit from OZ.

    I swapped out the ALT-S fuse w/ this to boost the output from the Alternator to maintain the appropriate voltage on the X2Power AGM 12V starter battery that I swapped in.

    Plenty of CCA’s and about 2x the battery reserve compared to the OEM flooded lead acid that got swapped out.

    I’ve started down the rabbit hole of choosing a new suspension for the Crosstrek. Trying to stay close to stock ride height. Any of you all gone through this yet?

    No, but I'll be happy to watch you go down the rabbit hole and learn from your experiences :D:popcorn:

    I'm not going to get into doing all that until the OEM suspension wears out and it becomes a necessity. Like yourself, I too like the original ride height.

    We’re at ~80k and the stock suspension is starting to feel WEAK!

    Well, in that case, I may not be far behind you...I think I'm around 55k. Thought the stock suspension would hold up at least to 100k or so, unless it's being offroaded often
