Low beams on my Tribeca 2008 burned out frequently (4 times in 5 months). Once both at the same time! Thanks!

Probably too much unregulated power from the jump box. Get your digital multimeter and test the voltage off car and jump it to the multimeter.

I live in the Great White North (Canada) and a trickle charger and a block heater are essential. I just had my block heater on for 4 days as the temperature was -15'C or - 23' with wind chill. They are only 125 watts.

I have changed the head lights in are Equinox several times. They work great for some time I would say after 4 mouths 1 will burn out . The low beam. I will change both lights. again not touching the leans putting them in with a clean rag.work great then in about 3 mouths the other side low beam will burn out. Again taking both out. I bought the best you can buy lights put them in September. 1 day the 1 burned out the next day the other side burned out low beam. So on March 3,I put in 2 new one's. again crossing my fingers. I'm almost redy to go to the dealer on this one. any idea's. Need help with my 2007 Equinox in Pa. Thanks Roger

The High and low beams are all in the same bulb. You have to reach in behind the light in the engine compartment and undo the retaining collar and pull it out and then pull the bulb assembly out if it separates from the collar. Unplug the bulb and replace it. I usually stop at Walmart and use the little box they have there to find the proper bulb for the vehicle, in most cases they are the less costly of the places you can get the bulbs.

VERY GOOD ONCE ONE LIGHT GOES OUT THE OTHER IS SOON TO FOLLOW,

wait one second, both low beam lights went out at the same time? If so, sounds like something else is wrong, and I'ld suppect the hi/low beam switch. If the car is this new there should be a warranty on it to be replaced.

call acura or good tech

Hello SUBY bro, kick me if I'm wrong but imho this should not be that complicated to require a schematic......Below is the reply I posted here on FixYa for another 08 Tribeca owner......Peace

We have an 05 Legacy and I've done this. Tribeca should be the same way: Look through the engine bay behind the light, you can locate the position by following the wires which actually connect to the bulb assembly. The bulb assembly ought to be removable with a 1/4-1/2 turn and pull motion. Be sure to not touch the replacement bulb with your bare hands. Your Subaru service ought to help you with this and not charge you......

The usual reason it would seem the length of use would be shortened is that most Subaru owners leave there lights on every where they go day and night. Really does shorten the time in days but not really the time of being on. Just a thought. Happy trails.

Hi

Fit a New Heavy Duty Battery !


Good Luck !


A FixYa rating would be nice !

John.

I just had to do this and learned the hard way.

First take the battery out.
Second remove the plastic cap covering the low beam bulb
Thirdly there are 2 screws holding a wire tension spring against the bulb. Losen the screw towards the outside of the car (Don't touch the screw closest to the engin).

Once you do this, the bulb will come out and you can replace it.
