Not sure for a subaru lagacy, but most vehicles have a bolt, or screw behind, above, or right under the hood that is for adjusting the aim of the headlights. It will usually feel like it is free spinning when you turn it, and not doing anything, but it moves the lights very, very slow, so it can take several rotations to even notice a very small change.
Like I said, I am unsure for the Subaru Lagacy, but if it helps you, then great, if not, well I tried. :D Good Luck.

How do you aim or adjust 200l legacy headlights

Hello Terry.

HEADLIGHT AIMING



CAUTION: Turn off the light before adjusting headlight aiming. If the light is necessary to check aiming, do not turn on for more than two minutes .
NOTE:
Before checking the headlight aiming, be sure of the following:
  • The area around the headlight has not sustained any accident, damage or other type of deformation.
  • Vehicle is parked on level ground.
  • The inflation pressure of tires is correct.
  • Vehicle's gas tank is fully charged.
  • Bounce the vehicle several times to normalize the suspension.
  • Make certain that someone is seated in the driver's seat.
  1. Place a cloth over the headlight that does not require aiming adjustment.
  2. Turn the headlights on. Perform the aiming adjustment for the other headlight as follows:

CAUTION: Do not perform lateral headlight aiming adjustment.There you are, the procedure from Subaru manual.

Hope this helps you.
Thank you for using FixYa.

I want to adjust the headlights

The adjustment screws/nuts should be located either on the top of the headlamp assembly, behind the headlamp assembly, or near the frame rail by the radiator support.

You will have vertical adjustment screws for each independent beam (separate highs and separate lows, but will be same screw if highs and lows are the same bulb). You may also have additional horizontal adjustment screws as well

Park your car on a level ground 30 feet from a wall and measure the height from the ground to the bulb and mark on a wall (do this for highs beams and low beams if the bulbs are separate, if highs and lows are the same bulb, only do it for the lows)

For Low Beams: If the headlights read VOR, then aim the brightest part or cutoff part just below the mark on the wall. If it says VOL or nothing, aim them 2 inches below the mark on the wall.

For High Beams (if separate from low beams): Aim the headlight directly at the line you marked on the wall.

If you have one adjustment screw, it will control your vertical aim. If you have two adjustment screws, one will control your vertical aim and the other will control your horizontal aim

How do i adjust the headlight beam on my Subaru Forester X MY06 Model

on each headlamp assembly, there will be either one or two plastic nuts that you can turn.

If you only have one nut on each, that will adjust the vertical aim of the headlights.

If you have two nuts on each, one will adjust the vertical and the other will adjust the horizontal.

Park your car on a level ground 30 feet from a wall and measure the height from the ground to the bulb and mark on a wall (do this for highs beams and low beams if the bulbs are separate, if highs and lows are the same bulb, only do it for the lows)
