Headlights OEM Subaru or Osram
Reviews
In the last year I bought a 2022 Subaru Forester Wilderness and people flash their high beams at me all the time. I’m sure they are always quite shocked when I flash them back and they realize it’s just my normal headlights.
Pros: bright
Cons: blinding to others
Vehicle:
Subaru Forester
My Subaru Outback actually came equipped with laser beams - I know this because I commonly get people flashing at me to turn off my brights (and for shits and giggles I flash back)
Pros: very bright
Cons: blinding to others
Vehicle:
Subaru Outback
Yes I'm running the same Osrams on my Swift for the last year and a half and it's excellent. Proper beam cutoff with a much better high beam for when people are hogging the fast lane on the expressway
Pros: proper beam cutoff
Vehicle:
Suzuki Swift
Recently upgraded to the same on my i20 n line. It's worth the money.
Pros: worth the money

Osram H4 LEDriving replacement headlight with Warm White 4200K LED.
It was a simple plug and play mod. The light output have increased at least 100%. It's not irritating to incoming traffic like the 6000K+ white LEDs. The warm white color also helps in rain and fog.
Pros: simple plug and play
After 1 year of use, are your osram healights still working perfectly? Did you notice any changes?
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 decided to Google the 2025, Subaru. Crosstrek headlights, because mine have these black circles that show up on low beams. It is so distracting and so annoying, and my low beams look so low, that straight ahead is not bright at all.
Cons: distracting, annoying
Vehicle:
Subaru
I have a 2024 WRX Ts top of the line Sports wagon...there is one thing I HATE about the vehicle and this in the absolute perthitic LED Crab Claw headlight. They are so bad I don't drive the vehicle at night. The lights are so bad that they are dangerous as they create a dark spot directly in front of the vehicle.
Cons: bad, dangerous, dark spot
Vehicle:
Subaru
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
