How to replace the front headlight bulb on the Subaru Forester?

Model: Subaru Forester MK 4, SJ - Years 2012-2019
Part: Light bulb

To replace the front headlight bulb on the Subaru Forester, open the bonnet to access the rear of the headlight: here you will need to disconnect the connector attached to the bulb and remove the bulb from its housing. Once the old bulb has been removed, connect the new one to the connector and insert it back into its housing. The same operation can be performed for the other front headlight. After replacing the bulbs, you can check that they are working, also closing the bonnet.
