Headlights OEM Subaru or HELIX
Reviews
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
For what its worth, I had the Helix headlights on my 2017 GSW and yes, I had to set those up with HID ballasts and HID bulbs. I was able to tuck the ballast inside the back of the headlight and put the bulb access door/cover back on for a pretty clean install.
Pros: clean install
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Golf
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 never in my life had such amazing low beams. These headlights are so good I swear they act like high beams. Been flashed 4 times. I’d buy the car again just for these headlights. The SRH are worth every Penny.
Pros: amazing low beams, effective SRH
Cons: blinds oncoming drivers
Vehicle:
Subaru
My Limited 2019 WRX has the tracking headlights. It’s actually really helpful (and you realize how helpful they are when you go drive someone else’s car that doesn’t have them).
Pros: really helpful
Vehicle:
Subaru
I went from a base to a limited. Honestly, the headlights are worth it.
Pros: headlights are worth it
Vehicle:
Subaru
I have the helix MK7 reps with a generic HID bi-xenon set up. Works just fine. Like other said just make sure its a can bus system.
Pros: works just fine
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
