Description of the problem	I purchased my vehicle new from dealer 18 months ago my vehicle requires a low beam bulb replacement every 6 weeks to 3 months. I have been pulled over by the police on numerous occasions due to this defect. Poor access for headlight replacement is another safety issue that compounds this problem. I always leap a replacement headlight in my previous cars for such the rare occasion that a bulb burned out i could easily pull over and in 2-3 minutes be back on the road with functioning lights. I have never owned a vehicle that required laying on the ground, having to remove the inner fender and likely if you aren't a petite 5 foot tall individual such as myself you may also have to remove the tire to access a headlight. This is a serious safety issue and the dealership telling me there are no service bulletins pertaining to such a problem. All they(subaru dealer) can do is give me a new bulb and that i am no longer under warranty for a bulb if anyone other than they (subaru dealer)installs the bulbs . Ridiculous! I feel more concerned about the bulb burnout shortout or whatever it is issue due to the fact that you just can't fix it along side the road if you had to.
