    What is wrong with my auto (low beams)? I have adjusted them so far up that the high beams are shining way too high now since the high and low beams move in unison while adjusting. They are dangerously low to the ground even after adjusted and pitch black above them. Also, when my side/parking...

    I have a 2008 Subaru Outback XT, AT 212,000 miles. Rebuilt engine with 50k on it by a great Subaru guy here in town. Last night I had all my headlights go out. Luckily I was 30ft from my driveway. Here are the details and my troubleshooting so far. Plus some current symptoms of the problem. My...

    Bizarre things are happening with my headlights. I've already replaced the headlight relays which didn't help with much. When the low beams are switched on, the high beams will also turn on however they will be very dim. You can also see a very dim high-beam indicator on the dashboard. When...

    I inadvertently, occasionally leave my headlights turned on (I.e. not merely set to Auto), and when I turn the car off (Outback 2022), I get no warning bell that would alert me to turn them off. I thought I’ve encountered this handy warning on other makes — am I missing a setting?

    Makes my older OB look a bit newer. Assemblies weren’t to expensive. Was very easy to switch out. I also put in stronger lights in all positions.

    Hey, so I recently installed a couple amps in my 2021 outback. A year ago I added an 800 watt mono amp with a 12 in sub in the back. The amp pulled from the wiring running to the rear speakers. That worked great and caused no issues. I later replaced both pairs of the door speakers with kickers...

    Took my Outback into the dealership today and I've recently passed 180k miles, so I have a good long list of suggested items to have done for preventative/routine maintenance. One thing that really stuck out is my passenger side headlight assembly is quite yellow/foggy. I had it buffed out a...

    2012 2.5i Subaru Outback Hey everyone, I’m looking for some tips and solutions to this problem im having with my low beam headlights. My car battery has been failing for the past 2 weeks, to the point where I was using my portable halo bolt jump starter almost every time I had to go anywhere...

    I don’t want to turn this into a legal discussion. What I am asking has nothing to do whether it’s legal or not. Sometime in January I am expecting a 2022 Outback Wilderness that I ordered to be delivered to the dealer. From reading various threads in this forum it seems like people what...

    Hello everyone, First-time poster here. For as long as I've had my current Outback, say 3 years, I've sometimes had issues with the right(left if facing from the front of the vehicle) headlight simply not turning on when I turn the key. Usually this is fixed by turning the key from the...

    Hey guys not a problem I’m having but just had a quick question. Do the headlights on a ‘98 outback turn off on their own if left on? Been home for about an hour and remembered I left the headlights on so I went outside and they were off. I figured I killed the battery but it started right up...

    Hello everyone, I stumbled upon here to ask a question after purchasing my 2017 Outback Limited. First Subaru I've ever owned, owned a Jeep Patriot prior and a Volkswagen Jetta. I was even looking at a Jeep Wrangler, but due to questionable MPG and my commute weekly, it wasn't the right fit. I...

    Does anyone have a successful technique for restoring foggy headlights. We have a 2008 Outback and the front headlight lenses are quite foggy.

    Ugh! I replaced the dash and when I go to turn on the headlights, they flash when turning them on but won't say on. And, while in the on position, the headlight indicator does not illuminate in the instrument cluster. I replaced the light switch on the steering column but the issue persists...

    Hey gang. The headlights on my 2013 Outback 3.6 leaves much to be desired. Anybody have a link to better headlights? Amazon seems to be drowning in options. Would like to know your favourite? ~cheers

    Ive had this car for one year and replaced the low beam headlights 4 times. Regardless of which brand/quality lights ive used to replace them. The fog lights go out about half the time. Wondering if this is a part of a bigger issue that other subaru fans know about? Electrical testing is being...

    Hello, I am a new Subaru owner. I just purchased a 2006 Outback a few days ago. I don't know anything about the vehicle but I am trying to learn as fast as I can. Upon my arrival back home I was notified that my OB had no tail lights but my brake lights were working just fine. Prior to this, I...

    Hi - I have a 2015 Automatic Limited that I purchased used in 2017. My interior lights go on and off a bit randomly. Have never been particularly concerned. UNTIL, I drove on highway for 3 hours. Stopped at a rest stop. Got back in car. Interior lights were running as it was starting to get...

    Hello everyone, My stock lights are about as bright as a dim candle. I was wondering if anyone has had experience with LED lights on their 06 outback. I am looking for recommendations. I am looking to convert the main beam, the high beam, and the fogs. Thanks
