In this video, learn how to replace the dipped headlight bulbs on a Subaru Outback. Start by turning the wheels to the left to replace the bulb on the passenger side (if changing the driver side bulb, turn them to the right).

Now, remove the plastic cover of the wheel arch, secured by 4 bolts. Once removed, you will find the dust cap to remove.

After this, disconnect the power connector and proceed to remove the blown bulb; if you cannot do it by hand, use long mechanic's pliers.
