Steps to change a Subaru car headlight
Step 1:
Open your Subaru’s bonnet. Switch on the headlights to see which one is bad and where it is located in the assembly. This is also the best time to search for other burned-out bulbs. Remove or loosen any object (such as the battery) that prevents your hand from accessing the backside of the headlight assembly. If only one of your headlight bulbs is bad, it’s recommended that you change both headlight bulbs because the other one isn’t far behind.
Step 2:
Find the two wired plugs that are connected to the halogen headlight’s electrical blades. Remove the plugs and mark them correctly.
Step 3:
Look for the black rubber cover that protects the headlight’s back from moisture and other elements. Remove this black rubber cover.
Step 4:
The is a wire spring that holds the halogen headlight in place, locate this spring and release it from the locking clip.
Step 5:
Take out the bad bulb and replace it with a new one. Be careful not to touch the new headlight’s glass bulb. When inserting the new headlight into the headlight assembly, ensure the flange’s notch is in the top center position and lock it with the wire clip.
Step 6:
Replace the black rubber cover the same way you took it off and reconnect the wires to the new light bulb’s blades. Confirm that the new bulb is working correctly by turning on the lights.
Replace the battery holder, as well as any other things you might have loosened or removed to gain entry. Close the bonnet after removing the tools and the old lamp.
Conclusion:
Ellipsoidal, freeform, and parabolic headlights are the three types of headlights available for your Subaru. Ellipsoidal headlights are also known as projector headlights because they function similarly to projectors. They are cut off horizontally at the first focal point before being projected back through a curved lens. Since freeform headlights have a transparent front mirror, they don’t need the reflector that parabolic headlights do. Finally, parabolic headlights use a parabolic reflector to focus and monitor the beam of their light source.
A Subaru OE replacement headlight will cost anywhere from $23 to $680. Its cost varies depending on the manufacturer. Individual headlights, pairs, and exterior vehicle light replacement kits with other parts such as corner lights and turn signal lights are available.
