Just upgraded low & high beam bulbs with Halfords Brilliant white ones & seem much better than standard bulbs!
I`m wanting to upgrade sidelights but no mention of how to do it in manual, although it shows how to change low/high beam ones !!

Had a look at the back of the light casing 7 can`t see how to get to them so a bit puzzled !!

Does anyone know how to replace them & easiest way to get to them??

Any advice, much appreciated ! :thumb:

Open bonnet.

Remove front grille (4 retainer clips, released by a long shaft, flat head screwdriver)

Remove headlamps by removing the 6 (3 each side) 10mm retaining bolts, 2 on top of each headlamp and one each side on the inner edge of the headlamp, behind the bumper.

Push the headlamp out by pressing the inner edge (there's a white plistic clip that needs releasing), followed by the outer edge (2 more lugs)

Sidelight bulb is the yellow clip in the top corner of the headlamp unit, twist and pull out, the bulb just pulls out of the clip.

As they then say in Japanese instructions, assembly is the reversal of disassembly :D

Thanks for the advice Rob! I`ll give it a go & see how I get on !

Spoke to Subaru dealer today & they told me it takes them 1hr per bulb !!:eek2:

Standard minimum charge I suspect.
