I didn't find a consolidated listing of ground
locations in the WRX manual, I'd love someone to
prove me wrong on that one.
Ed's on track---on my MY04 WRX, the grounds below
and inboard of each headlamp housing were fitted
with a flat washer under each ring terminal,
installed over intact paint. I went over every
gnd point I could find, clearing to bare metal
under the terminal stack, and adding star
washers. I used No-Alox as a corrosion inhibitor
initially, and changed later to silicone grease
after seeing No-Alox wash out. I supplemented a
few 12 ga ground lines to various locations,
also. I can't say what caused it, but the
brightness of the low beam headlights was
noticeably better after all was done...and that
was a result that I wasn't expecting!
