| Description of the problem | We have had to replace both front headlights multiple times since we bought our outback. It seems my wife is driving with one headlight way too often. I have researched this problem and we are not alone. Online i have found hundreds of other people with the same problem. I am convinced that this is a safety problem that needs to be addressed by subaru not to mention it's a huge financial burden since access to these bulbs is difficult even for repair shops. *js |
