I was stopped by a cop yesterday after dark as he noticed the front beams out; though I usually have the secondary lights on.  2002 Forester.  It's hard to know often whether they are on as they are not particularly strong when they are.  Is this a known problem?  One of the high beams work.  I'm thinking replacing the bulb on the one where the high beam is not working is probably the first step.  I didn't see fuses burned.

The bulb sockets also.  The connections sometimes have very high resistance/burned contacts.

 

Sometimes you just happen to get both lights blow on the high or low beam. 

Replacing the globes rectified the issue? If not, that’s when to start digging deeper into the problem.
