I'm not sure you can. Talk to a Subaru parts guy at a dealership. What I can tell you for sure is this: I replaced the passenger side visor on a '94 Legacy Lsi that was torn off when the car was stolen and driven from WV to FL. I couldn't find a used one and the insurance company wound up paying 135 bux for an original equipment replacement. Good luck. . .
Interesting question. Bulbs do burn out, but premature failure is often caused by overvoltage from the alternator. Have your dealer check the alternator for correct voltage AND waveforms. You can check it yourself with a multimeter. If the battery voltage is more than about 14.5Vdc, eg 15+, the alternator has to be replaced.
Does seem odd,never heard of Subaru having that odd habit.
I would have thought your dealer would have checked but if not have them or someone check the charging system output.
Generally, it is better to replace both at the same time, simply because the possibility of the other one following after. BUT $150.00? wow, that is not something that would void your warranty if you replace it yourself. The bulbs are as cheap as $7.00 at your local parts store. Save yourself $130.00 and replace them yourself. ^^ Good luck and hope this helps. P.S. If you are talking about the entire headlight assembly, then $150.00 is more than fare.
look for rust or corrosion near the seam of the bulb and the boot- spray with wd40 and let soak for a bit and retry with good firm grip wiggle slightly side to side..if not get a new replacement socket and bulb at parts store and install entire setup in ..repost please..
I just fixed this problem on my 95 legacy wagon. I did evreything needed to replace the headlight switch. My switch has 2 pieces I seperated both pieces and cleaned the contact in between both pieces. that's all I did, no money for part's!
In side the trunk behind the light you need to fix is a small access panel. Just open and replace bulb. Very simple and straight forward. Good luck and have a great day.
