Nav,
you don't have to take the light out - just the air intake (left) and maybe the battery (left) - makes things soooo much easier. Will also leave some skin on the back of yer hands !!! The fitting will quarter turn out.

I had same problem,but wanted to upgrade the bulbs, spent hours trying to work out how to get access to the bulbs ,only answer after contacting Subaru was to remove front h/light unit . dead easy as far as i remember 3 10 or 13 mm bolts after removal easy access to side light bulbs. does not affect h/light re alignment just a pain !! .If i remember 1 bolt is hidden at the side of the front grill , other two on top.

in the end i had to take out the grill and the lights.didn't take too long and kept the skin on my knuckles.
