I have a set of projector depo lights from uniquestyleracing. They have been fine for me. I recently swapped my halogen H1 bulbs for an LED bulb and it\u2019s plenty bright at night.
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
Unless you are in love with those headlights, I'd go with some smileys, I installed the Depo reps.
I ran Depos on a 97 M3 for a while, much better than the condition of the headlights when I bought the car, middle of the road for me and I have horrible night vision.
I\u2019ve had Depo for 4 years now, on a car kept outside. Mine have not leaked at all, but the lenses have started to fade. I\u2019m about to restore them soon.
Depos are junk, they yellow and get water inside them anytime you wash your car.
DEPOs are absolute trash. I've had them literally crumble while sitting on my kitchen table... Like tabs started flying around...
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
I admit they do "look" good because they are brand new, but they are the biggest pile of excrement this side of the equator! My headlights for that wagon, while the beams are near perfectly aimed (yes i did that) i about have a brain aneurysm Everytime I see them in the front of the wagon, specially if I get locked or fixated.
