| Description of the problem | I have had to have the headlight bulbs (low-beams) replaced a minimum of 4 times over the past two years. The passengers side was first... Then a few months later the driver's side. This continues for no apparent reason. Last night leaving work... The passenger side is out again. I cannot believe i am the only subaru owner who has experienced this problem. Replacing them is no easy task as after investigating, you have to go through the wheel well to get to it. Again... Both sides will now have been replaced 4 times withing the two years. Minor issue compared to the other complaints, but nevertheless a safety issue. |
