Description of the problem	We purchased this vehicle used, one owner, in may 2013. We have constantly had to replace headlight and mini bulbs. We have not purchased subaru bulbs and did not have dealer to install. Dealer is 2 hrs away and would be too expensive. I do not believe the problem is with the bulbs but is something wrong with this model car. They are very difficult to get to and to replace as my husband and i replace them each time. On november 27, 2013, one headlight went out and then before we replaced it on december 13, 2013 the other headlight went out. I had to drive home (about one hour) in the dark and thank god i was not involved in an accident. But this is very dangerous and it happens all the time. We just don't know when or if both will be out at the same time. Purchased 5/25/13, 11/27/13 headlight out, 12/13/13 headlight out, 3/12/14 mini bulbs replaced, 7/1/14 headlight out, 10/21/14 headlight out, 1/6/16 mini bulbs replaced, 5/5/16 headlight out, 5/101/6 mini bulbs out. This was all the receipts i could find, could have been more. This very annoying due to the difficulty in reaching the area to replace the bulbs. Please have subaru to find the cause and fix this before there is a major accident or injury to someone. Thanks!!
