Silverstars work pretty well. Straight white light, no blue tint, which is all I wanted.

I got the WRX seats on Ebay for $150.
Install was painless; unbolted my seatbelt receivers from the stock seats and bolted them into the WRX frames. The WRX seats use shoulder bolts, while Legacies use studs and a nut, but the shoulder bolt works fine to hold in the receivers,with no flex.

Legacies have 5 bolts, WRX seats have 4, so there's one empty hold, but it's covered by the rail, so no worries.
Seats sit higher, but I'm used to it; note that if you're tall, and especially if you paln on using a helmet, try to buy them locally so you can test-fit. Rule of thumb; the lowest adjustment point on the WRX seats is the same as the highest adjustment point on the Legacy units. My OB has a raised roof, so my 6 foot frame clears with a helmet, but YMMV.

I love the seats. They're a night and day difference from the leather park benches I had before.

I hate leather
