  1. Between the Hi-Beam and Lo-Beam there is a bulb. Is that a Daytime Running Light Bulb ? And does someone have the Part Number ? Thanks !
  2. Sorry for the delayed response. As far as my Sylvania Low Beam H11 XTRAVISION is concerned, the glass is not broken, there is no discoloration; the filament (a tightly wound coil?) is separated. As far as my ICHIKOH 7443 is concerned, the glass is not broken, there is an area of dark discoloration; the short filament (a tightly wound coil?) is separated; the long filament appears to be ok.
  3. Sylvania Long Life 7443 is working fine as a Taillight/Brake Combo Bulb so far (purchased at Walmart). But a Sylvania Low Beam H11 XTRAVISION just burned out after less than a week ! And I have a stash of lightweight, brand new, 100% white cotton gloves I use just for Light Bulbs. I'm very cautious about touching the glass. After one use I discard the glove. So there was certainly no skin oil present. I'm going to bring the vehicle in for a warranty evaluation. As Keith3267 suggested, there may be a voltage issue.
  4. 7440 is Amber and has a single filament 7443 is White and has dual filaments So I'm thinking the 7443 is correct.
  5. AlldataDIY tells me I need a 84920FE000. Which is NOT helpful. I really don't want to spend an entire morning driving to the Subaru Dealer for a bulb - though it will likely come down to that. 84920FE000 gets me nowhere on the AutoZone Web Site. And searching for a 2014 Subaru Forester Brake Light Bulb on both eBay and Amazon doesn't seem to get me very far, either. I've not had a chance to pull the Bulb yet. I'd actually rather have a replacement in hand when I do, to save time. Does anyone have a generic number for this Bulb ? Or a suggestion for a nice LED replacement ? As a side note, it does surprise me how poor the bulbs have been on this vehicle. I'd had to replace Headlight Bulbs, License Plate Bulbs, and more. My "vintage" 1998 Saturn seems to go though bulbs at a much slower rate.
  6. After buying and installing (2) aftermarket antennas from eBay, I bit the bullet and ordered an OEM Replacement
  7. I had no complaints with my radio reception until my antenna was stolen in Boston. A replacement from the local Subaru Dealer is $50 + ..... Ouch !! There are many aftermarket versions for sale on Amazon and eBay, but I'd like to buy one that someone can recommend from experience, for hopefully $20 or so. I bought a Carbon Fiber model from China on eBay for $8 that bleached in the sun from black to some weird bronze color and worked poorly. Every other day I've had to grab a stepstool, reach up, and twist it to get any recepton at all. So I bought another, longer model with a Black Rubber mast on eBay for $18. It broke while I was installing it. The US Seller was reputable and refunded me. I plan to use some Dielectric Grease on the next one to hopefully improve the electrical connection. But first I need to figure out a good antenna.
