Description of the problem	Our 2011 subaru outback premium 2. 5i has had to have both low-beam headlights replaced numerous times. Only the low-beam lights need to be replaced so often. I have done it myself several times, but accessing the light bulbs is a difficult process that requires going through the wheel well and doing everything by feel because it is impossible to see what you are doing. Now i just have a repair shop do it when i have it in for regular maintenance. It is getting old saying, "oh yeah, can you replace my headlight that is out, too." there are numerous reports of headlight issues on various venues on the internet, and i have friends with a slightly older outback who have had both headlights go out at the same time. This is a fundamental piece of safety equipment that should not need to be replaced multiple times a year. In my 2003 kia rio, i have replaced headlights a total of two times in 12 years. On my outback, i think i am up to 8 headlight replacements (i have lost count) in 5 years. I fear that some night when my wife and children are driving home both headlights will go out and their safety will be jeopardized. I urge subaru to issue a recall for this dangerous issue.
