Replacing Subaru Outback 2010 - 2015 front lightbulb


Recommended Posts

For the FOURTH TIME since I've owned my 2011 Outback I've had to change the front head light bulb that keeps burning out, H7 type.

 

So, I made a video.  The first time I did a bulb change it took about an hour, now I'm down to 15 minutes.

 

I tried to include everything that was most irritating 1) The little screw snaps and 2) that #$^@ wire thing that holds the bulb into place.

 

If you're looking to change a bulb I hope my video will help you, I know that there are a couple Subaru fixes that this forum has given me, so here's a little back.

Good work.

 

 

FYI, if your car isn't a salvage. 2010 and 2011 Legacies and Outbacks got a warranty extension for the headlights. The dealership will replace them for free.

 

 

There's also a way to get reimbursed for the ones you've purchased, although I don't know the details on it.

Thanks for the reply guys, I'll have to check out the extended warranty - if I find details I will post them on my youtube video...

 

Yeah I'm not sure why they keep blowing out, I figured an electrical over current issue.  But next time (hmmm, in about 9 months) I'll have another fail and try the X7LL version.

 

By the way, I can't see the link to my video in my original post.  Were you guys able to view it?

 

Thanks,

Mike
