If you also do not have high beam on the right headlight, then it is probably one of the two relay switches that handle the headlights as well.  They are located behind the fuse box panel above your left kneecap.  All of the relay switches give off noxious fumes that are slowly killing the drivers of the older generation subarus.  I ran electrical lines for all of my relay switches  to  air tight 30 cal ammo boxes that I put in the foot well for the rear seats.

Anywhere to read about the relay fumes?
