1) Fuse puller
4. Pull out the fuse with the fuse puller.
5. Inspect the fuse. If it has blown, re-
place it with a spare fuse of the same rat-
ing.
6. If the same fuse blows again, this indi-
cates that its system has a problem. Con-
tact your SUBARU dealer for repairs.
Main fuse
Main fuse box
The main fuses are designed to melt dur-
ing an overload to prevent damage to the
wiring harness and electrical equipment.
Check the main fuses if any electrical
component fails to operate (except the
starter motor) and other fuses are good. A
melted main fuse must be replaced. Use
only replacements with the same speci-
fied rating as the melted main fuse. If a
main fuse blows after it is replaced, have
the electrical system checked by your
nearest SUBARU dealer.
Installation of accessories
Always consult your SUBARU dealer be-
fore installing fog lights or any other elec-
trical equipment in your vehicle. Such ac-
cessories may cause the electronic sys-
tem to malfunction if they are incorrectly
installed or if they are not suited for the ve-
hicle.

Headlights (WRX-STI)
Replace any bulb only with a new
bulb of the specified wattage. Using
a bulb of different wattage could re-
sult in a fire.
High-intensity-discharge (HID)
bulbs are used for the low beams of
the headlights on the WRX-STI.
These HID bulbs use an extremely
high voltage. To avoid the risk of an
electric shock and resulting serious
injury, you should not attempt to re-
place them. Neither should you at-
tempt to replace the high-beam
bulbs, remove/refit the headlight as-
semblies, or remove any headlight-
assembly components. For replace-
ment of the headlight bulbs (low-
beam and high-beam), removal and
installation of the headlight assem-
blies, and removal of headlight-as-
sembly components, contact your
SUBARU dealer.
