How to Replace the Front Headlight Bulbs in a Subaru Outback?

Model: Subaru Outback MK 4, BM, BR - Years 2009-2014
Part: Headlight bulb

Replacing the front headlight bulbs in a Subaru Outback is very simple. Follow this tutorial to proceed. The video shows the operation with the headlight removed, but this is not necessary as you can easily access the bulbs from the engine bay. For the dipped beam bulb, open the white plastic cover, disconnect the connector, and unlock the metal clip by pushing it and pressing it inward. For the main beam bulb, simply remove the bulb holder by turning it anti-clockwise. The same procedure applies to the indicator and position light bulb.
