Description of the problem	Bought a 2011 subaru outback on february 7, 2018 from dealership, 90k miles. I've owed this car for 5 weeks and one day and i finally had time to go to the dealership to have the driver's side low beam bulb (which blew out about 3 weeks after purchase but is under warranty) and also both brow lights (daytime running lights). One was dim, the other was out. I brought the bulbs and gave them to the dealership to be installed. When finished replacing, dealership said i had a tail light out too. I told them i would replace and went across the street to purchase a bulb. Drove home and went to replace tail light and noticed i had two out, one on each side?! Confused, i grabbed a friend to verify and after a bit, i ended up tapping the light lense and the light came on. Both of them did after tapping each lense. Checked the bulbs and they were secure. Also, about 2 weeks after purchase, i had a plate light out. Again, i bought bulbs and when i went to replace, it was miraculously was working.
