How to replace the headlight bulb in the Subaru Crosstrek XV?

Model: Subaru Xv MK 1 - Years 2012-2017
Part: Light bulb

To replace the bulb in the Subaru Crosstrek XV, open the bonnet to access the engine compartment. At this point, remove the connector attached to the bulb holder at the back of the headlight. Once the connector is removed, you can extract the bulb and its holder. A new replacement bulb can then be installed on it, and both pieces should be inserted back into their housing. You can then reconnect the connector to the holder and close the bonnet, checking the correct operation of the new part installed.
