These short and simple steps will illustrate the process of disassembling and replacing the front headlight of the Subaru Outback. First, we open the hood of the car and start removing all the plastic clips located above the bumper grille; then we remove the lower clips and those located on both sides of the wheel arches, as shown in the video.

At this point, we gently detach the bumper on the sides, until it is completely removed; we unscrew the screws of the headlight unit and disconnect its electrical connector to remove it and replace it with the new one!
