Today, we will go through the steps to disassemble and replace the front headlight bulb on the fourth generation Subaru Forester, specifically the 2015 model. First, open the bonnet and obtain the new bulb to be replaced (in this case, a D4R); then remove the top cover of the headlight and the protective cover of the bulb, as shown in the video.
