Hella. Premium quality, OE supplier for many carmakers
I run the H4 conversions from HELLA and they have been great. A lot more light than the old sealed beams and retains the stock look unlike the dorky looking LEDs. I ran a relay harness so they get power direct from the battery.
My 15 brz had a dial under the left side of the steering wheel.
Not sure about the Forester, but common issue on Outbacks. You can't adjust the brightness, but you can adjust the angle. You need a long shank Phillips screwdriver and you can angle the lights down a bit
Upgraded OEM style like hela. The og lights are effectively candles at this point.
I have been worrying about this ever since I got my 2025 Crosstrek. These new headlights are much better for my lousy eyesight while I'm driving at night
Man, I drive a Subaru. My apologies. You are getting the regular headlights, not hi beams. They’re just very bright. Sorry. ;(
what you do is chuck these in the garbage and just buy hella h4 replaceable 7" round headlights (they are glass as well so it wont fade/uv cooked) and stick with those. these offbrand amazon/ebay/temu/aliexpress halo led headlights have such garbage light output and beam pattern that you'd be better off just strapping led pen lights to the front of your car.
i drive a 13 outback and the headlights are fucking PITIFUL. i drive with my brights on at night and i have never once been flashed
Since the night I drove my car home, I've been getting flashed by drivers while using my low beams.
