Thanks heaps for your video. Its fantastic. I've never owned a subaru outback previously. I'll never buy one again. I've found multiple nuances that make it difficult to work on. Its more of a headache and doesnt seem well designed or thought out, at all

I guess it's a perk if your arms are as skinny as this fella. I work for a living, my arm won't fit in there with the tire left on. Maybe I can get one of the neighborhood kids to reach up in there...they're about his size.

That retaining clip sequence is VITALLY important, unless you enjoy buying and replacing headlight assemblies ($270-$370 parts, $150-$250 labor) after breaking the plastic above the notch. Pulling the wheel or not is just a small detail on this horrendous odyssey. It's arguably easier just to pull the front bumper assembly, pull the headlight assembly and replace the bulb on the workbench.

Drivers side is a real bastard. Nothing went easy. Finally took tire off. No leverage to twist over. Wires in way. Needed to use a quarter to push on spring clip to pad finger. The engineer should be made to pay for labor.

You are the first ever to show and explain the little tricks into removing and replacing the clips, rubber clips and even the marking on the new bulb to make sure it goes in correctly. It's things like this that causes people to break a clip , force the bulb and breaking it. I've known these tips for years yet never realized how important it is to explain and give examples as you do to new comers trying to do their first car repairs. Thank you !!! You taught an old timer like me how important sharing all information is no matter how small it may seem. Never too old to learn plus eat a little crow 😂

a good demo on how all the stupid clips work on headlight i like to make sure bulb gets no fingerprints or dirt on it or it causes bulb to burn out faster from oils on your fingers. that big tab on cover is always on the bottom so you should not have to mark it if you put silicone grease on the o ring it is easier to take it on and off next time.

This makes it look easy but it’s a pain in the buttocks. The high beam is a 2 minute change, come on Subaru, this is ridiculous. Now, you really want to have fun, try getting an LED replacement up in that cavity, work tge clip around the wires, all by feel because you have to reach up in there and it blocks your view, OMG!. I want to replace them with LED because the replacement bulbs Subaru provided under a 10 year agreement, were so dim, we could barely see at night. We had to run fog lights under regular weather just to make it. I got the driver side done, but going to test it a while before repeating the nightmare on passenger side. I’m concerned the fans on the LED may not cool properly in that waterproof/enclosed socket may overheat? My theory is the poor design caused excessive heat to build up in that enclosed area, then the stock bulbs would blow. I replaced several bulbs before Subaru extended the warranty on them, but since they replaced it years ago, no more blown low beams, so what does that point to? Lower wattage for lower heat, not bright enough. Just my theory but something is fishy, lol. Thanks for the videos.

Excellent video. Thank you. I had to do this a few years ago which was an adventure, and again just now. With the help of this video, it took about 10 minutes on the passenger side. One tip - Tap/loosen the cap on the back of the bulb housing with a screw driver on one of the ribs, and then pry it loose before going up from underneath. It's pretty tightly sealed. That's doable for a 2012 passenger-side legacy. Not sure about the other side.

I'm pretty sure whoever designed this complete fuckery of a lightening system had no schooling period! I doubt the person could write his or her name! After 200 attempts, every tool I worked with thrown across the yard, a brand new bulb broken cause it slipped out of my hand and fell on the concrete which resulted in everything around me to be thrown across the yard! Thomas Edison would not be proud of the prick that designed this system! I don't think he wanted his light bulb involved in such ridiculousness! I finally came across this video, I mean it helped but things like getting the bulb out really took some time. I replaced the idiotic screws with real screws and a plate for it to screw in to. This really sucked! Im selling this damn car tomorrow! I'd rather drive a prius! But if I don't sell it I'll gladly spend 129 prolly 50 bucks more since the video is a few years old and cuss everyone out until they put the little prick that designed this outfit infront of me. I've never let something like this upset me like this. I could eat nails right now! Eat nails and whip illiterate lightening system designers ass! Sorry for the rant and for my French. I'll be expecting a ban for this one. But it's well worth it. Better luck to you all. If you're reading this to decide if you want this vehicle go with the prius! 😂

6MT forever!! Great video. Love the model and the humor about the quality of the bulbs! Having to burrow through the wheelwell to get to the bulb housing is an outrage. Just saying. Having to do this for the second time myself. Aside from that, the high oil consumption and the head gasket failures at 100K, Subaru Outbacks are awesome.
