My wife bought a 2011 Outback
My wife bought a 2011 Outback in 2013. I have had to replace the headlights (primarily the low beams) about every 3-6 months. The last time I replaced them (both at the same time) the new bulbs were so dim that they really weren't useful for driving at night at all. I replaced the passenger side low beam 2 weeks ago and it went out last night on our way home from a trip out of town. They go out so frequently that we keep spares in the glove box, so I replaced it this morning. When I removed it, I noticed it wasn't actually burned out. After putting the new one in, I checked them (of course) and the new one didn't come on. I turned on the high beams and the driver side low beam stayed on, but the driver side high beam didn't come on. I checked the high beam bulb and it isn't burned out either. So now I have two bulbs that are not burned out but won't light up. On low beam, I have one very dim light and on high beam I have one bright light on the passenger side and one very dim light on the driver side. My wife is a nurse who works 12-hour shifts, so she drives to and from work in the dark. This is NOT a safe situation for her. Looks like she'll be driving my Ford until Subaru is forced to address this issue!
