Subaru Crosstrek License Plate Bulb Change

[@JeremyLeech]

Fellow Wisconsin Crosstrek owner here! (23 premium special edition) upgrading to led lights and this helped me out!!

[@apinckney86]

Thank you for posting this!!!! The dealer ship was certain that you have to open the trunk and take the large back plastic cover off trunk door to replace the light and it was going to be costly. Thanks again you saved me a ton.

[@anthonyz7023]

They dunno

[@travisbommer3450]

I just ordered 4 of these bulbs off of Rock Auto for 26¢ apiece. After shipping and tax it was a little over $4 and I didn’t have to leave my house to get them. Thanks for the video.

[@nowayjose20]

168 and 194 are the same bulbs except different wattages.

[@bentkarma83]

Is it ok to use 194? Will it drain battery?

[@miguelvalenzuela]

Thank you so much for the video. You helped me out with this mystery. :) have a blessed day

[@AndreBakerTrigga]

Mine wouldn’t budge I just took off the liner and changed them.

[@AllUnbelievableShits]

[@Miuhauzen]

Works same way on subaru ascent if you need LEDs Philips T10 for 06 outback 15 xv Crosstrek & 21 Ascent this what i done...

[@TippyPuddles]

The light covers slide toward the center of car.

[@JA-bl7dk]

Thanks for this vid. I've got some LEDs for those locations.

[@stuntcardriver]

LEDs are the way to go.

[@Miuhauzen]

Don’t get just some i been doing that and i can’t count how much i spent with idea to save better pay and get one and good... there are many options but what i know for sure Philips is best on my xv T10s are running non stop for 3 year before i was replace aftermarket Sh.. every 3-4 month

[@David-qj1po]

Thanks that was very helpful

[@kenny347]

same for 2018 model?

[@stuntcardriver]

I believe so

[@chrisfrerichs8360]

Thanks for the vid Sir! Maybe next time your wife would be willing to hold your camera as you were repairing her vehicle..? Easier said than done though, I know. The manual does not give a very descriptive method to change this bulb at all :-( Thanks very much for taking your time and being thorough!! How do you like the crosstrek btw stuntcardriver?

[@MrHan642]

Thanks I was about to take apart the whole car!

[@ZZPxFTW]

All these videos have the lenses popping out so easily. I’m like nearly breaking mine and they’re not budging!

[@ZZPxFTW]

update: my lenses were apparently installed backwards from factory and I had to push towards the outside lol

[@trentreyes7809]

@@ZZPxFTW THANK YOU SO MUCH

[@SometimesImMerr]

Same! After finding your comment I'll check the opposite direction harder.

[@strokeofirish1]

@@SometimesImMerr pushed left and pushed to the right won’t budge, 2020 crosstrek WTF?

[@SometimesImMerr]

@strokeofirish1 I'm not sure about the 2020, all the videos I've watched are for 2012-2017 :( I was able to get mine out after wiggling them so hard the car shook

[@haywoodyoudome]

4:30 so just reverse the way you took it out to put it back in? Genius.

[@EasyTechTrading]

i tried to do this to my ascent and for some reason it won’t slide. it feels like it has glue in it. i even look at the owners manual and says the same thing. slide it inside just like this video. 🤔

[@guiltyred6144]

I don't know if you already figured out how to take it out but it won't slide like you initially think, it moves only a tiny bit but it's just enough for you to pull it upwards.

[@johnforlizzi1749]

My 2019 Impreza hatch light is stuck too not sure if it’s because of rain and dirt, but it’s not sliding at all. Both feel like they won’t budge 🙄

[@Miuhauzen]

I just replaced on 21 Ascent put leds is easy slid it to center you will feel that something move in it’s need just bit not gonna go far that you even see that it moved

[@angelmatias567]
