Headlight bulb replacement, high beam and low beam, Subaru Outback - Auto Repair Series

[@FilmsForActors]

So my 20 yo daughter got stuck in another town after dark with no low beams. She stopped at an auto parts store and bought the bulbs but the clerk didn't know how to change the bulbs on an outback (Said it was 'wierd'). she called me, I watched your video and talked her through it. both bulbs changed in about 15 min total! great job on the video. huge thanks!

[@RobertDIY]

you are welcome.

[@doguecreek]

Very close to my experience too! Robert's video guided me in replacing my bulbs several years ago, and now my daughter has the Subaru hundreds of miles away at college. First thing I did was have her watch this video, and she bought the bulbs and I just walked her through it. Thanks again to Robert!

[@michaelreilly8484]

Thank God! A mechanic who speak clearly and makes sure he says exactly what to do and how to do it for everyone - from the complete novice to a seasoned mechanic. THANK YOU ROBERT!!!

[@RobertDIY]

You are welcome

[@99Stams]

Literally just changed mine, and couldn't have done it without you. I didn't even see that low beam light holding bar. Thank you!

[@RobertDIY]

Glad I could help

[@BalamXoc]

Thanks for this excellent, detailed video, Mr. Robert! I am mechanically challenged, but, thanks to your careful and detailed instructions, got our low-beam headlight replaced in no time.

[@RobertDIY]

+Ross Cooper good deal.

[@frame223]

I have a 2002 outback rebuild the engine myself, but never changed a headlight before in this car, Best instructional video I seen so far, thanks and keep up the good work.

[@RobertDIY]

Francisco Mendoza Thank you for watching.

[@leslieannrandall1212]

I'm

[@laurenator91]

This video was super helpful! I know nothing about cars and I was able to replace my headlight in less than 5 minutes. Thank you! You just saved me an $80 trip to the auto shop!

[@RobertDIY]

+Lauren Cooney good deal.

[@masterroshimagazines4354]

Doooope video!! So instructional compared to 90 percent of youtubers. Most people were removing the whole front bumper and removing the whole headlight.

[@RobertDIY]

Ouch

[@MosheHaMayim4591]

Thank you so very much for putting up this instructional video. I procrastinated for 1 1/2 years changing my low beam headlight and it only took me 5 minutes after watching your video. Thanks again buddy.

[@hayesdesign7583]

Clear and easy-to-follow instructions--you're a natural teacher. I've changed many bulbs in the past, but every car has its quirks. It was nice to have it all spelled out and reduce my trial and error.

[@RobertDIY]

Thanks for watching

[@yzettasmith4194]

I'm hoping 2001 and 2002 are the same because I have an 02 and your explanation is the clearest I've found yet. Thank you for explaining *from the beginning* and not taking anything for granted.

[@RobertDIY]

You are welcome

[@juliewillemsen7790]

Yours was the first and only video I needed to show me how to replace the headlight globe on my car. I am now legal again and needed no-one to help me. Thanks so much. Easy peasy.

[@RobertDIY]

You are welcome.

[@tommurphy220]

Thanks, Robert! I watched another video first, which told me to removed the whole headlamp unit from the car and detach all the wires. Your approach was much simpler and faster -- and more in line with what I expected when I started the job. Good work!

[@RobertDIY]

Thanks for watching

[@gailgreen5169]

Thank you so much. I just changed the bulb by myself! Your instructions were great and I feel there are a few more things that I can do myself. I just got this car 2 months ago and I just love it. Thanks again!

[@RobertDIY]

Gail Green Good to hear. Thanks for watching.

[@jooleebilly]

THANK YOU, ROBERT! I was able to follow your directions to replace both low beam headlight bulbs in under 30 minutes. I have a 2001 Subaru Legacy Outback LL Bean Wagon, and it was exactly the same as you described. Many other instruction videos were trying to sell me a whole replacement by making it seem hard. I figured I could do it anyway since I fix computers for a living, but your video was totally accurate. Thanks for saying that halogen bulbs need to be untouched or cleaned if touched. I didn't know that. Anyway I'm posting this video on my FB page to tell everyone how awesome you are!

[@RobertDIY]

Thanks for sharing. Glad the video helped.

[@AS-yq1xe]

Never changed a headlight before. With your tutorial it was very easy. Thanks for a great tutorial.

[@RobertDIY]

Glad it helped.

[@garylcamp]

Man, that was one of the most detailed explanations I have ever watched. Thank you.

[@RobertDIY]

You're very welcome!

[@stantonmagid4126]

Thank you that was thorough and detailed. I used to think I knew about cars but these days everything's more complicated. Thank you again

[@RobertDIY]

Glad it was helpful!

[@zdawg647]

As a previous 1994 Volvo 850 owner I am familiar with Robert DIY's videos. They are great videos and have helped me immensely. I was extremely relieved to see that you also had videos for my new Subaru. Keep up the great work!

[@RobertDIY]

Zac Clow Thanks Zac.

[@ReallyOldBuzzard]

I appreciate you. I couldn't figure out how to get the damn clip back on. Yours is the only video that shows the proper positioning.

[@RobertDIY]

cool, thanks for watching.

[@helveeta]

Thanks for posting this, I had put off doing it for 3 months! Never again will I have to take it in to the shop--this was so easy!

[@RobertDIY]

+helveeta good deal. Thanks for watching.

[@RitaHarrisBroker]

Thank you, thank you, thaaaaank you for making this process so simple and with decent video images! Other vids I watched had someone taking the entire assemble apart - which you showed, was not needed! I am MOST grateful to you indeed. I just saved my sister a couple hundred dollars on headlights! May God & Universe bless you and the work you do.... Hugs, Rita in Seattle, WA

[@RobertDIY]

You are welcome

[@thetek1742]

[@suemccarley3424]

Thank you so much for this easy to follow video. It made it so I felt like I could help my friend change her lightbulb and save her money, since she was going to take it to her mechanic to help fix it.

[@RobertDIY]

You're welcome!

[@darkclouds27]

Thank you for this tutorial! I will be replacing the low beam bulb on the drivers side tomorrow. This video is a huge help.

[@RobertDIY]

On the newer Subarus you have to remove the battery and the airbox to replace the headlights bc those are both in the way of the assemblies on each side

[@RobertDIY]

Michael Sackstein Great design. LOL

[@mds2465]

Yeah it sucks. My aunt had to have that done by a professional on her 2010 outback. I told her if I was there I would've done it for free. Lol
