Headlights OEM Subaru or OEM FORD
Reviews
My 15 brz had a dial under the left side of the steering wheel.
Pros: dial under steering wheel
Vehicle:
Subaru BRZ
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
Pros: adjust the angle
Vehicle:
Subaru Outback
The DRL on my passenger headlight partially died (one of the vertical strips on the outside of the lamp stopped working) about a month ago. Took it to the dealer and they had a new headlight installed within the week under bumper to bumper.
Pros: headlight installed under warranty
Cons: DRL partially died
Vehicle:
Ford
Neighbor texted me today that my passenger headlight is out… anyone have a headlight go out on their Mach E yet?
2021, 57,000 miles. VERY happy I didn’t delete the extended light coverage on my ESP from Granger Ford.
Pros: extended light coverage
Cons: headlight went out
Vehicle:
Ford
Mileage: 91733 km
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
Pros: better for eyesight
Cons: pissing people off
Vehicle:
Subaru
Man, I drive a Subaru. My apologies. You are getting the regular headlights, not hi beams. They’re just very bright. Sorry. ;(
Pros: very bright headlights
Vehicle:

We had the same issue on my wifes 22 explorer limited.
Dealership had it for a full day and traced the issue to a bad ground causing a power draw in one of the headlights and it was replaced under warranty.
Pros: headlight replaced under warranty
Cons: bad ground, power draw
Vehicle:
Ford Explorer

I'm pretty sure the headlights on our RV are from an F-150. They are the worst e-bay specials and truly are terrible to drive at night.
Cons: terrible to drive at night
Vehicle:
Ford
Since the night I drove my car home, I've been getting flashed by drivers while using my low beams.
Cons: blinding other drivers, getting flashed
Vehicle:
Subaru
