Aftermarket fog light kits for 2016 base
I see these online and on Ebay for $50-$55. Main question is, when you turn on the fog lights, are the high beams automatically turned off? This would be a state inspection requirement. And are they plug and play, or do they have to be programed at the dealer to work? Anybody point me to a specific kit to buy? Stock looking so no LED. Thanks.

Usually the high beam "ON" deactivates the fogs, not the fogs deactivating the high beams. I'm sure the high beam relay can be wired in such a way that when it is energized, it opens the fog light circuit, thus deactivating the fogs. Who knows, it might just be one relay under the hood that does it, but I need to dig a lot deeper to find out for myself. I only have a '19 base, so no fogs for me. |

I bought the factory switch, switch panel and relay from a Subaru dealer for $55 and installed them. The wiring is already there. The fog light icon in the cluster now works. Will get some $40 aftermarket lamps and bezels to finish it.
Those cheap $60-$80 kits sold on Ebay or SS which say they DOT legal are BS. They are ghetto wired into the fuse box and not integrated into cars' headlights. |

If your using the factory relay and switch connection and just tap in to the 2 wires for each light it should function as factory fog lights. This will let the fogs be on with low beams and automatically be shut off if you turn the high beams on.
I have a 2019 Impreza and did the factory fog light add on...Switch, Relay and Fogs. They function as if they were installed from the factory |
