Description of the problem	My 2011 subaru outback has had a continue problem with light bulbs(headlight - brake light - parking lights) burning out. This model does not have a diagnostic light telling you when a light has burned out. And when i asked the subaru service rep about the diagnostic light, he said that even the 2015 models don't have one. At my 60k service, the subaru service dept. Had to replace a parking light. Two weeks later, i had to bring the car back in to have them replace a brake light and another parking light. In the past, i've had to replace a headlight and parking light. I feel this is a dangerous situation since i have no warning when these lights burn out, in particular my brake lights. When i bring the car for service, i have to pay for the bulb replacement. I feel that subaru needs to resolve this issue, and add a diagnostic light to all there models.
