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

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
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
I have a 2024 Outback Onyx. The headlights are super bright and I'm always getting flashed as though I have my high beams on when I don't.
Pros: super bright
Cons: getting flashed
Vehicle:
Subaru Outback
Unfortunately due to stupid decisions at Volvo Xc40 lacks of one of best features of larger brothers. Headlights don't turn. As per Volvo it's a small economy level car.
Cons: headlights don't turn
Vehicle:
Volvo
I have an 09 Forrester and its nearly impossible to drive at night due to the headlights. Foggy, not bright and direction is off.
Cons: foggy, not bright, direction off
Vehicle:
Subaru Forester
