2000 Legacy Gt Headlight Assembly

Can anyone give me some guidance to help me replace my headlight assemblies in my 2000 Legacy GT? I can't find anything anywhere? I have purchased them off ebay and they will be here in a few days.

Thanks

they're pretty easy, not much to it. if you need a write up for these, you shouldn't be doing the job, it's that easy. it's about to get much simpler for you, as soon as you get the light in the mail you just look at it - it's going to tell you where all the attach points are. i believe it's all 10 mm bolts and possibly one plastic clip at the grille. i'll recount from a poor memory (i work on all subaru's so keeping them straight i get confused sometimes):

 

remove the two top 10mm bolts holding it to the top radiator support. disconnect electrical sockets and i believe there's an annoying clip at the grill and a bolt behind the grille too. be very careful with the grille clips if it has to come out. they may break...but you can always get another one. they aren't intuitive.

 

there's no bolt "underneath" it so to speak, it's all hung from the top/sides. memory tells me on this model the side light only has a bar that slides into the fender, not a bolt. but the new ones are going to make that abundantly clear by looking at them. stuff like this is real simple when you got one in hand to look at.

 

good luck, here's to nice new, shiney bright lenses!

 

the lights i've recently bought new all came with new bulbs in them too.

You are right - very simple. I think it was harder to change a bulb with my big hands. Now my car looks brighter and newer.

Thanks for the advice.
