Headlights OEM Subaru or HELIX
Reviews
In the last year I bought a 2022 Subaru Forester Wilderness and people flash their high beams at me all the time. I’m sure they are always quite shocked when I flash them back and they realize it’s just my normal headlights.
Pros: bright
Cons: blinding to others
Vehicle:
Subaru Forester
My Subaru Outback actually came equipped with laser beams - I know this because I commonly get people flashing at me to turn off my brights (and for shits and giggles I flash back)
Pros: very bright
Cons: blinding to others
Vehicle:
Subaru Outback
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

Just installed them, will have to see how they work out.

Just finished the install and I have noticed 2 things on this Helix unit. 1. When the low-beams are in use they seem to run at a lower power. 2. When turning on the high-beams it also makes the low-beams run at their apparent normal full power.
Cons: lower power low-beams
I have a 2024 WRX Ts top of the line Sports wagon...there is one thing I HATE about the vehicle and this in the absolute perthitic LED Crab Claw headlight. They are so bad I don't drive the vehicle at night. The lights are so bad that they are dangerous as they create a dark spot directly in front of the vehicle.
Cons: bad, dangerous, dark spot

Subaru
You're not the only one. The headlights in my opinion are extremely distracting and dangerous. I actually hate driving my 2025 Forester at night. I plan on getting rid of this car because of the headlight problem.
Cons: distracting, dangerous
Vehicle:
Subaru Forester
Just leased a 2025 Forester. The headlights are wonky for sure! It's just low enough where I can't see as much of the road as I need to to avoid objects at night. I know the headlights are angled lower on the left to not blind folks, I just find it very scary to drive and not be able to see.
Cons: headlights are wonky, scary

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
