Headlights OEM Subaru or OEM FORD

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
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
Our '25 Forester had the lights aimed incredibly low. I followed the directions I've used in the past for aiming headlights:
* 25ft away from a wall on a flat surface
* Measure distance from ground to sideview mirrors
* Mark on a wall 1-2" less than that height
* Using a Philips screwdriver, adjust headlights so the beam on the driver side light comes just below that level
However, I did this and the lights were way too high - illuminating oncoming drivers. I had to adjust them lower by about 2-3" at 25'.
Pros: directions for aiming
Cons: lights aimed too low
Vehicle:
Subaru Forester
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
Vehicle:
Subaru Forester
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

Subaru Forester
