EASILY Change a Headlight on a 2010-2014 Subaru Legacy and Subaru Outback

[@spiritofthescout8054]

Thanks for posting this. My daughter has an ‘11 Legacy and she called me from school to tell me she had a burned-out headlight. Not realizing what would be involved, I told her to go to an auto parts store and buy the replacement bulb and ask them to pop it in for her. She got the bulb but she said they wouldn’t install it. She was then quoted $90 from a shop for installation of the bulb. I told her to just bring it home and I would take care of it. I can confidently say that I never would have figured this process out without your video! It actually was manageable once I saw your process. Thanks for the tips!

[@nicquintana1092]

I also have an '11 legacy. Boy was it tough. Do-able yes, but my arm is kinda raw from feeling around in that tight space.

[@peadeux08]

I made the mistake of taking mine to the Subaru service department to replace mine. It was $200 for them to change the one headlight. Just the one. Now, not even a year later that same one is burnt out again. I am SO HAPPY I found this video.

[@liltr3390]

​@@peadeux08I've replaced the headlights(at least one or the other) at least 5 times since ive had my 13 outback.is there any indication why thy burn out so fast. Not to mention the 3rd brake light and the rear brake lights go out and when tapped come back on....I honestly hope it's just my car sometimes but it looks like a trend the more I look into it.

[@squierplayer]

@@liltr3390I have a ‘14 Legacy and my passenger headlight just went out today. First burned out light anywhere on the car.

[@gleb3841]

Seriously, wtf was Subaru thinking when they designed this? Did they have interns designing this?

[@akimateru7980]

Exactly

[@joesikkspac7904]

Packing everything in a small space to save weight. Especially since manufacturers have made side and rear windows smaller to up side impact strength. Small engine compartment allows a smidge more leg room too.

[@Sixmpgs]

I figured the liner had to come off. 20 mind in, I searched youtube wishing there was an easier way. I watched about a minute and it confirmed it. Good job with the video. Thumbs up for sure. But I'm not sure if the '89 Legacy's headlights were accessible from the engine bay or not but one would think a simple cutout/access panel in the fender liner would have been the way to go the very next year after DIY owners complained to Subaru. I sure hope this hasn't been the case over 2 decades (and counting...). I do love how good this plastic liner is made and how snugly it fits but it's plastic nonetheless. Factory machines can easily fabricate an access panel with the punch of a few buttons. Then again, dealers' service shops have to stay in business so they purposely make a $30/15 min DIY job a $30/60min job or charge you $200 to do it for u but you'll wait 3 hrs for a job that took them 15 mins. Oh and grab retainers because you're going to break 3/4 if not all (could've been mentioned in the video but, as I stated previously, I fast forwarded just to find out if I was wasting my time removing the fender liner).

[@dini1046]

Subaru hit it out of the park with this pain in the ass bulb change.

[@sammy9360]

They did this just to force those who can't change themselves to have dealership charge outrageous price!

[@gordoncampbell4706]

Just to add some spice to these comments, after changing my burned out headlight on outback 2012 as per this very helpful video. I was as asked to change the burned out headlight bulb on a Volvo XC90 2010. No tools required, less than five minutes, both sides, that's engineering. Thanks again for your help, cheers.

[@rg4987]

Same 5 mins for my 07 Silvarado

[@ericr4577]

That was the most obnoxious bulb change I think I've ever done. Thank you for the video, saved me a lot of time. ✌️

[@bshingledecker]

This little tutorial is worth it's weight in Tylenol. On a side note, over the years, I have tried to explain "seeing with your hands' to people for when you need to reach or pry or twist or whatever without being able to lay eyes on it but having to reach and manipulate it. This is the ultimate demonstration video of that technique. Now I'll go ponder the job ahead that awaits me. P.S. I will buy my parts from a local supplier/store in hopes that my/our patronage will help them remain in business and not disappear like so many others due to the Amazon advantage.

[@teathornhill2783]

Omg Thank you 150 times!!! Mechanics are charging $150 for Labor! I’m a simpleton and these instructions helped me do the job for $40 bucks!

[@p8ryot]

Thankyou for the video, When you said "This one is a fail, they really dropped the ball with this", That was an understatement. If not for your video I'd be cussing up a storm trying to figure it out.

[@lisarollins]

This video saved me so much hassle. I would never have figured this out!!! I opened my hood which seemed to give me some different angles and more light. I also could not get the cover off the bulb housing so I used a flathead to pop it off. This is such a project!!!!

[@jeanpaulmarrero2728]

This was exceptional. I did this for the first time on my 2010 Outback. What a pain in the rear end in terms how this was set up… BUT, this video was so helpful. It took me approximately 30 minutes for the first time. It’s honestly pretty straightforward, you just have to pay a lot of attention and do a lot of it by feel - as you stated.

[@mikeb4062]

Just replaced on 2010 outback too. I had to take a few mental health breaks but got it done. Few scrapes. Like.shoving my arm through a cheese grater

[@lisacallaghan6044]

When I bring it in to get it changed, they charge $150 and keep my car all day. Thank you so much for this video! Consumer should always be able to change a bulb:

[@Essays4College]

Why so much? dealerships are such rip offs. If they charged half way reasonable prices more people would bring their cars to them!

[@keithfaulkner6319]

So don't go to the dealer( EVER ). Go to a local shop. My Auto Fix charged me 20 bucks.

[@yolosolosendit]

Just did this today. Thanks for the video. Easy to align bulb too. It was hard to see sometimes because of the tight spaces so I took a few minutes getting the light cover back on. I was really annoyed when my light went out because I knew these cars were supposed to be difficult, but it actually wasn't hard thanks to this vid

[@marianslabinoha6812]

Thank you, bro. Yesterday I was standing in front of open car hood and thinking how to solve this puzzle. Took me a bit of time because I didn't had the tool for that plastic fixations, but overall the video explained the process very clearly.

[@CJEDI7TV]

SPOT ON! Great tutorial that got me in and out in an hr or so. Getting the latch to the headlight on and off was a bit of a wiggle game. Then connecting to the back of the bulb was a bit tricky too. This made it VERY EASY to change it. Thanks again! Now my daughter can drive at night with no problems.

[@Jacob-ly8vs]

Anyone interested in a class action lawsuit against Subaru? This task took me over an hour, cut my hand in two places, and very nearly placed me in a psychiatric ward. Not only that, but the pins that hold the bumper and liner in place are destroyed. I can not emphasize how absurd this task is. It seems deliberate how difficult they made it so that we would have to pay someone to do it for us. And I won't be doing it again. I don't care if it costs $100, I'm willing to pay. They win. I've built computers, replaced smartphone batteries, and rebuilt the interior of a 1953 GMC; I'm not stupid. Subaru is simply evil for this. I can't explain how furious I am.

[@mikeb4062]

Reading this and looking at all the cuts and scrapes on my hand and arm post bulb change

[@jefffund476]

I know it's too late, but I was able to change out the low beam passenger side by removing air filter housing, well half of it. Still frustrating af. It only cost me 1 fist shaking to the sky, a lot of explicit words and the remaining little bit of religion I may have had in my body

[@carloskolrud148]

Best solution so far. Pulling out the bumper panel really helped. Thank you for posting!

[@ankitsaxena213]

I rarely ever post any comments on KZbin, but this calls for it. I just changed both bulbs and it took me about an hour from start to finish. Let me just say, WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK! I have been working on cars all my life but never had the misfortune of doing headlights on a Subaru Legacy 2011. The high beams are a 5 min job and the low beams are so freaking hard to get to. The packaging sucked. There is a special place in the afterlife for the genius that designed this! On the plus side, I managed to do it in an hour and saved a few hundred bucks. Good luck to anyone who is about to do it. You don't need any tools. Just a flat head screwdriver and boatload of patience. Thanks for the video. It was very helpful.

[@KirstenGoffena-s1j]

OMG! This looks VERY challenging! Thank you for posting this video as the Auto store peeps had no clue.

[@bruzote]

No, this task is NOT easy, even after you know how to do it. My headlight is burned out. At first, I did not recall ever replacing one on my Subaru. So, I found this how-to video. After the video showed the first view of the back of the headlight, the headlight war flashbacks came to me. I remembered fixing my headlight in the past a few years back. I am pretty sure the American Psychiatric Association lists "Subaru Headlight Repair Post-Traumatic Disorder" as a diagnosable mental illness. I am positive about that! When I am reminded of the rotten experience, I can't even say the word "headlight" without flinching and developing an eye twitch. My god, that was horrendous the last time I did it. So now, I wrestle with doing this again or punting. If you have lady hands, maybe this is easy. If not, forget it. Your hands will be punished for growing into their proper manly size. Even worse, chronic pain from old injuries, surgeries, and osteoarthritis turns this task into a Stephen King horror movie. From now on, the EU and the USA should band together and require ALL foreign car manufacturers to build their vehicles to accommodate the body sizes of all grown men, not just the ones with slight, short builds. This rule should include giving access to parts of cars that may normally require repair. I knew this issue of body size would come decades ago, after Americans began buying Japanese cars built for small-framed Japanese men. Funny enough, the Japanese have been getting bigger and now they get to suffer for their country's earlier refusal to build cars that could properly accommodate taller/larger-limbed men. Well, time to take my medication, talk to my therapist, and see if I can muster the INsanity to reach back into this hand-eating monster of a task. Disclaimer: I may exaggerate a bit here and there, but this task DOES suck if your hands won't fit! Add in the awkward angles putting strain on backs, knees, ankles, even toes as well as wrists and fingers, and you've got a real PITA for something that should be easy.

[@RabidNewts]

You’re whining a lot for a tall manly man😂😂

[@jikascade]

My F-150 requires the same method for changing the headlight bulbs, sooo....casual racism aside, there goes your theory :p

[@BigggusDikkkus]

How many well hung lesbians does it take to change the light bulb on their car? Apparently 1... but she complains about it the whole time. Just teasing you, my hand hurts after this as well and I only did one side. Next time I won't be trying to change it in the dark in an O'Reilly parking lot in my gym clothes. 😒

[@josealangarcia7672]

Mkm

[@stevegraves2968]

Can you imagine the stories this guy could tell around the camp fire.

[@bruzote]

One highly key part of this is pulling away the front panel. I had not done that. My arm was really squeezed hard by that and mobility further hindered. Also, remember when buying your bulb that you need the same brightness as the existing bulb on the other side of the car. Plus, "they" say the remaining good bulb is likely to burn out soon, so replace both. Except this is such a PITA task that you might not want to.

[@astrid5126]

Why does it need to be the same brightness?

[@93aMike]

@@astrid5126 Think he's referring to make sure the wattage on the new bulb is no more than the one you are replacing.

[@ws6ryan2009]

​@@astrid5126bc it's the right way to do things... You replace both sides when one goes out.

[@kimberlyunger8676]

Thank you for saving me $200 for service. It took about half an hour because of the space issue but now we know how to do it.

[@ncbeachbum7222]

Thanks for a great tutorial. After going through 3 bulbs in 1 year I now have turned my auto lights off and use DRL only unless it's dark or raining. Whoever designed this should get a boot to the the cajones.

[@liltr3390]

I've had the same problem with my 13 outback several bulbs and no real answer. Not to mention the 3rd brake light and the brake lights but when I tap the break lights they come back on.

[@ncbeachbum7222]

@@liltr3390 I later had mine checked out and there was a lot of voltage drop. I ended up replacing the wiring harness for both headlights and no issues since. This is the longest I've gone w/o changing bulbs.

[@pl5bnsf]

Thank you! You saved me $50. I was able to do it (barely). So glad to to find out I did not need to remove the whole wheel well panel. Still a pain, especially on passenger side, doing it all left handed.

[@mattchrabot7799]

You make it look SOOOO Easy! Thanks for the tutorial, I'll give it a try

[@steve50100]

Thanks for the video . I would have never thought that I will have to take the car apart to change a light bulb :)

[@pepvert]

Thanks for the video!!!! No way I would have deciphered how to change them. And you were not joking. What a pain to change - specially the driver’s side!!!!!

[@bruceyoumans2731]

Great video! My local Subaru dealer was changing them for FREE on my Subaru 2010 Outback - as this was a design flaw - but since the pandemic they now are appointment only and you cannot wait inside their facility for repair work. Your video walked me through the process. My only additional comment is I had to replace some of the plastic fasteners on the inner wheel well. But I had a kit I bought from eBay with all common fasteners and the tool. You saved me a lot of time and trouble!

[@dougstringer5358]

The Subaru replacement policy for 2011-12 vehicles is ONLY 10 years from the sale date of the vehicle. It's already 2023, so don't bank on it.

[@TheWalrus-1]

My driver side cap has always been gone. Passenger side stuck trying to change it in the winter so i ripped off the cap with vice grips. Now both sides can be open lol

[@juliosdiy3206]

This is hell subaru i would never be able to change it without this video! Thnks a million.

[@ranger178]

I did find that putting silicone grease on the cap seal after putting new bulb in so next time it was way easier to get it off first time i had to use a pry bar

[@jasony724]

Bought some low beams and thought it would be like every car and take me less then a min? Fkn glad I searched you tube and was like I guess I’ll do it later!

[@SanjayaCookery]

This was really well done and helpful. Thanks for including all the important details!!! Cheers

[@njmiller2902]

I have a 2011 outback. How do we align the headlights left to right?

[@MrSoulMonk]

Great video! The combination of the clugy way to change the bulb and bulbs not lasting very long makes me wonder what Subaru was thinking when they made the design choice. This is not something one can do on the side of the road. Last time, I took the front bumper off and the job became easier but the it was a chore, very discouraging to say the least. These are the kind of things I will look for when buying my next car for sure.

[@jasonk19xx17]

It's the dumbest design ever. So dumb, the next generation Legacy/Outback models you can pop out and back in in about 60 seconds. Doing these basically by feel and not being able to see what you're doing is incredibly frustrating, and as you say, the cars chew through bulbs about as fast as a restaurant chews through eggs.

[@PeterPresti]

I was able to access the grey plastic cover from the wheel well but I couldn't get enough torque on it with one hand to remove it. So I removed the battery and with additional fingers from the inside I was able to turn the cover off. Lubricated the O ring with some silicone grease before reassembly. What a pain.

[@nateahern9]

I’m not a car guy, but this wasn’t nearly as hard as I thought it would be. It’s a little time consuming, but putting the bulb and cap back in by feel was the only part that was slightly tricky. It helped to pull the electrical cap off but leave the bulb in for a minute so I could get a visual on how the tab was aligned, and then I just practiced the blind insertion with the old bulb a couple times.

[@blkonboth]

I followed these instructions, and needed a helper but we finally got it after awhile. I had a headlight changed at a shop once before, and I can't for the life of me figure out how the guy did it in a few minutes without even removing anything.

[@danw8916]

Thanks for this vid, helped me get it done. The bulb on mine was really difficult to get out of its socket and getting the disc cover back on was a supreme pain in the ass. Got one light replaced in 45 minutes. Not fun but done. Would’ve been lost without the vid.

[@barryjohnson1330]

Thanks For the video, spot on and a better alternative to pulling off the front fascia etc etc! You nailed with the, "by feel"! You'd think they would design it so the bulb would turn and click in but no, hold and flip retaining wiring as you say. Thanks for the help!

How does one adjust headlights afterwards?!!!

[@connieromanishan6780]

Wow! That is the most messed up design for changing a bulb. Changing the bulb in my moms car. I changed my entire headlight easier than that on my Toyota. Thanks for the video.

[@mikeb4062]

Taking the battery out helped a lot on the drivers side change. I could not get the cover off with one hand through the wheel well, needed the 2nd grip by the battery. It was a miracle I got the bulb to fit in the wiring hub and then back into the casing. Pai. In the arse

[@bdavis4430]

Thanks for this video. I made changing my headlight quick and easy. I appreciate you.

[@bradwilkins3691]

I was able to change my low beam this way myself. The passenger side was easier. The dealership wanted $100 to replace the one low beam and additional marker lights. My body doesn't contort as willfully as it did until I reached 50. In hindsight $100 was a bargain compared to how I feel today. Also there is access to the white cover from behind the battery that allows someone to use a long screw driver to tap on the cover to help remove it. Thanks for the video.

[@njmikeche5575]

I think it's literally easier to replace the whole headlamp assembly. Which, on this car, might actually be necessary if you have the lantern / spherical lens type, because apparently the internal reflector surface gets oxidized and the headlights progressively get dimmer and dimmer as the car ages. That problem is not limited to Subaru, lots of those type headlight assemblies have the same problem on various brands of cars.

[@DirtyDalerz]

Thanks for uploading this. Made a world of difference. :)

[@spychiatrist3045]

[@susanfriedland5293]

Great video, and thanks. However, I found it almost impossible to insert and turn to lock the dust cap to the right to finish off the job. So I lightly lubricated the rubber 'O' ring with vaseline jelly. The cap then slipped in with ease and I was able to lock the cap with little effort.

[@beanzzz852]

Best idea took over an hour of extreme anger and messing with it before reading this comment then after useing the jelly took less then 3 minutes

[@Charles_Mulberry_7977]

I got good at removing the whole bumper, remove headlight housings and do all the bulbs at the same time. Get new plastic rivets to replace the damaged ones.

Yup! They are wear items for sure. I bought a big box of them years ago and have been glad I did.

[@treysmith1122]

Remove the battery, cut a 3x3 square just behind the white cap. Same on the passenger side...now bulb replacement is easy 5 minutes on each side! No working blind, no working by feel, no getting on the ground, I've owned my outback for about five years. Put 200,000 miles on her and probably 6 sets of lamps. Best mod for outback by far

[@ajcpug]

Is there a video for this?

[@AA-mc5sm]

Can you add photo of drivers side hole you cut? What did you use to cut it?

[@davidnee]

Thanks. I had done one several years ago so was the low familiar. Took me about half an hour. I was checking electrical connections and such as I went along. One of the pains was getting that cap back on. You have to have a position such that the teeth line up those four teeth that took a bit of the work to get it to seat right. Big pain. I wonder if I saved a whole bunch of money to make it worthwhile. Not complicated. Just a blind process. I patted myself on the back knowing u saved some tume and $50-90. Now can I buy another guitar?

[@davidn503]

Thanks for posting this, a couple of things I'd like to point out or ask: 1) pulling that bumper out has me a bit sketched...is it really that easy? 2) I recently did a similar procedure on my Dodge Ram, and those little grommets will most likely be a one and done kind of deal, so I'd recommend getting a few from the dealership. That will make it a whole lot easier to button back up. About to tackle my son's 2014 Outback so he gets some tool time. Thanks for the vid!

[@bruceyyyyy]

1) Yes 2) No the worse idea. I keep a whole box in the garage of various sizes. They're as permanent as a solo cup.

[@coleenwilson269]

The first time I changed my lightbulb on my Subaru, I unscrewed the latch instead of popping in it. It cost me 150$ at the dealership to have to replace and repair (finding the metal piece and screwing it back in place). I would love to scream at the designer/engineer who thought this was an amazing placement idea. I refuse to pay someone else to do minor work on my car. I sure wish this vide was around the first time I tried this. thanks for the video.

[@David_K_pi]

Just curious… Would removing that tire make the job any easier? It seems like that might give you a little more room to position your arm. It's not a big deal to pull a tire if you own a floor jack.

Does that plastic cap have to sit perfectly even all around? I could never get it to, it would always be in more on one side than the other, usually i just get it in so that it doesn't fall out as by that point I'm fed up lol

[@bruceyyyyy]

I believe it's just a dust shield. A lot of older cars don't have them at all and it seems like it still works.

[@jackschitt7783]

I had the spring that holds the bulb in fall off and go down inside the headlight assembly. What a p.i.t.a.! I rigged it on with rubber bands since I can't find just the spring. Make note of that that that thing isn't connected it,x just sitting there. It wraps around tabs molded into the bulb port. Don't drop it like I did! When you swing it out of the way do it gently. I flicked it out of the way which is what caused it to bounce around and fall off. I have to take the assembly out now to get it. I imagine that's going to involve taking the whole front end off.

[@jbarrer2196]

"EASILY" is not the word I would have used. I've done it several times on my car. The hard part is opening up the cavity by removing the side panel, reaching in there blind to remove the cover, twiddling with the paperclip holder, removing the bulb, then blindly trying to re-insert the new bulb, getting it oriented, replacing the paperclip holder, orienting and attaching the wiring plug, then orienting the cover and twisting it on without screwing up the O-ring, replacing the side panel, and then finding out the new bulb was bad. Other than that Mrs. Lincoln, I'd say the operation is a piece of cake.
