    Thank you so much for making this video! I am a single 29 year old nurse who was never shown how to work on a car. My headlight just went put and this video saved me the cost of getting it replaced! I changed them both by myself in less than 20 minutes! Thank you from the bottom of my heart!

      the manual says to remove the washer fluid tube which is blocking you from putting your hand in to remove the globe. I would do this. Just get a Philips (star) screwdriver and turn counter clockwise of=n the plastic screw securing it to the body. Remove washer top and then you have more room.

    Just to let people know as it wasn't entirely evident in the video: The clip to release bulb needs to be pressed down on the far side away from the bulb. When replacing the low beam bulb on the passenger side it is very hard to see the socket and is done a lot by feel (as I found out). I was trying to depress the clip by the socket to no avail until I moved back towards the wires and depressed it there. Thought I'd mention it and hopes it helps someone.

    Thank you for this excellent instructional video. I bought my bulb and had major issues putting the new bulb back in place and noticed it had two red gaskets which prevented it from going in deep enough to be screwed back in place. I slipped one gasket off and it screwed right into place. Bulb replaced and working properly.

    Decent video, on a 2014 there is no red tab, its a very long black tab that catches on the bottom of the bulb. Subaru makes this very hard for no reason, the wire leads are also extremely short.

    EXCELLENT video. I could not have changed the bulb without it. Thank you!!! Only issue I had was when I went to screw in the screws that hold the a/c duct they just spin & spin. I rewatched that part and his tighten right away. Those black clips suck. Oh well, my nephew will figure that out. I have a working headlight.... That I installed. Unbelievable 😁

    • @nielkmot2654
      @nielkmot2654 2 роки тому

      if you have hid low beams, it's more complicated: there's a plastic cover to remove first (turn counter-clockwise and pull out), then a bigger socket clipped on to the bulb. and then the bulb itself is held in with 2 spring clip wires. there's a different video available for hid.

      nope! there's an extra plastic cover, and a big, bulky socket. the upshot is that it's even more crowded than the ordinary halogen bulbs, and at $100 a bulb, it's even more critical not to get skin oil on the bulb, or crack it while putting it in.
