WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2012 Subaru Outback and 2012 Subaru Legacy. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
CAUTION:
  • Because the halogen bulb operates at a high temperature, dirt and oil on the bulb surface reduces the bulb's service life. Hold the flange portion when replacing the bulb. Never touch the glass portion.
  • Do not leave the headlight without a bulb for a long time. Dust, moisture, etc. entering the headlight may affect its performance.
  1. Disconnect the ground cable from battery.
