Headlights OEM Subaru or Bosch
Reviews
Had to adjust my headligts down a bit on my '24 TXT as they were blinding people. Otherwise, the headlights are outstanding.
Pros: headlights are outstanding
Cons: blinding people
Vehicle:
Subaru Outback
I have a ‘25 Outback Onyx XT, and even on regular setting, oncoming traffic flashes me as if my brights are on (they aren’t). Best headlights ever.
Pros: best headlights ever
Cons: traffic flashes me
Vehicle:
Subaru Outback
I have a '25 Touring and the headlights are the best I've had, coming from many Ford Edges and Ford Explorers over the years.
Pros: best headlights ever
Vehicle:
Subaru Outback
Ended up finding someone on marketplace, set me up with a solid used set of Bosch headlights for a good price.
Pros: good price
Nooo. Return them. Get the DEPO headlights. Good ZKW/Bosch sets are expensive nowadays and DEPOs are perfectly fine.
Pros: Good sets available
Cons: Expensive nowadays

Coming from my old 2005 Saab 9-2x Aero that had headlights that were opaque and yellowed and barely put out any light at all, these are literally like night and day. I dreaded night driving in my old car, especially if it was raining. It was like not having headlights at all. These ones on my Limited are like daylight coming out of the front of my car.
Pros: excellent illumination, clear visibility
Vehicle:
Subaru
I have a 2024 Forester, and I absolutely hate the headlights, to the point, I am not sure I would purchase a Subaru again. You have to use the brights in order to get the same field of vision as I got previously on my Camry.
Cons: hate the headlights
Vehicle:
Subaru Forester
I have a 2024 and they're damn right dangerous on the hilly roads I drive on. Literal black out conditions outside of this fucking rectangle.
Also? They're just shitty headlights in general.
Cons: dangerous, shitty headlights
I bought a 3-year old (2021) Forester in January, and I have noticed the headlights suck, too. On a dark road, I need to use the brights to illuminate any kind of meaningful field of visibility, and even then it’s not great.
Cons: headlights suck
Vehicle:
Subaru Forester
My final complaint is the very visible outline of the cameras in the headlights. This was hyped to me as another safety feature — that the headlights turn ahead of the car as you turn. I barely notice this. But I notice the weird camera shadow outlines every time I drive at night. All
of this is extremely distracting and dangerous.
Cons: distracting, dangerous
