In the showroom the other day, I noticed that the XT has an ignition
ring light. My Forester X does not. Can I buy/install one? Has anyone
done this?

That was one of the things on my list of things to do when I got the X,
however I never had a problem finding it while on our trip or I will always
see it before the cabin light will dim out.
Anyways, according to the service manual, B224 is the connector that's used
for the ring light. I haven't verified whether it's there for the X. The
only other thing is that I can't seem to verify whether the ring light is a
separate attachment or is it attached to the ignition lock. I've read on
the usenet that it is attached, but you know how reliable that information
can be. The service manual is no help (at least the one that I have). I
haven't found the assembly drawings yet.
My GUESS is that you need to also replace or cut into the enclosure that
surrounds the column. Seems to be an easy mod after I find out whether the
ring light is separate.
