Headlights OEM Subaru or OEM Porsche
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
I had the same issue on one front light for my cayenne 2016. I am not a handy man and got advised from my mechanic that I replaced it, got replaced for 9000 dirhams for a used one and perfect since then. I didn\u2019t bother fixing, it had a hole in the silicon.
Pros: used replacement worked
Cons: hole in the silicon
Vehicle:
Porsche Cayenne
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
My 996.1 is my first Porsche, and it’s consistently able to make me happy. Even the dumb lights are aging surprisingly well.
Pros: aging surprisingly well
Vehicle:
Porsche 911
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:
Subaru
Performance and reliability per dollar isn’t good. The turbo is the coolest looking trim in the 996 gen, but i really don’t like the headlights.
Pros: coolest looking trim
Cons: headlights, interior
Vehicle:
Porsche
Have the same issue in a brand new cayenne. They said the problem is that I live in an area with humid weather and that they cant replicate the issue in the workshop and wont replace them. From what I have heard and read so far, it seems it is an issue with Porsche headlights.
Pros: issue with Porsche headlights
Cons: humid weather causes issue
Vehicle:
Porsche Cayenne
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
Cons: pitiful performance
Vehicle:
Subaru Outback
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
