Replaced headlight for the 4th time. 2 bulbs burned out each side within 2-3 year period. Total pain to replace that can only be done at the dealership. Unless, you can take the front of the car apart and put it back together.
Do I want to buy a 2015 Subaru Outback? Well a Ford is looking real good.
Second bulb to go out on this car. But figured I'd get a bulb & change it only to find out you need to remove the wheel lining & battery. After several hours trying over the course of a couple days we gave up and took it to the dealer. The dealer said we had broken the spring that holds the bulb in and they don't make just the spring. COME ON THEY DON'T MAKE A SPRING THAT IS VERY APT TO BE BROKEN ON THIS VERY HARD TO REPLACE BULB? the Dealer said we would have to purchase the entire head light unit for $400 or $500. we took it to the local dealer instead who had to remove the front bumper to replace the headlight bulb, but they were able to do it. But not covered under warranty as it should have been.Not to mention the time and effort involved.
Update: A 4th low beam headlight has now gone out in the 2 years 4 months - the other one went out just a month ago.
