Description

Bulb adapter for '05-'09 Subaru Legacy and Outback Wagon reverse lights to support "20W T15" led bulbs. These the black and green ones with 4xCREE XB-D LED's. OEM appears to be Baobao with part number DCD-T15-B.

This puts the LED's at the same optical center as an upgrade "ERD" bulb. I haven't checked them vs standard 921 bulbs.

For the clip in tabs you'll need to print with support enabled. There is no stopper on rotation, so you'll have to be careful not to over rotate the adapter in the housing.

Pricing assumptions and exclusions

USD: ($6 setup + $3 finishing + filament weight × assumed spool cost × 1.25 waste allowance + print hours × $2.50 × material time factor) ÷ 0.65. Rounded up to the next $0.50.

Assumed spool costs per kg: PLA $25, PETG $30, ASA $40, ABS $30, TPU $45, Nylon $65, PA-CF $95. Time factors: PLA/PETG 1.0, ASA/ABS 1.2, TPU 1.6, Nylon 1.4, PA-CF 1.5. These are proposed shop rates, not measured production costs.

Design work, test fitting, hardware, shipping and tax are additional where needed. Multi-file sets may need several prints. Use actual sliced weight and time when available. Final pricing is confirmed in writing.
