& Headlights (WRX-STI)
WARNING
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
replace them. Neither should you
attempt to replace the high-beam
bulbs, remove/refit the headlight
assemblies, or remove any head-
light-assembly components. For re-
placement of the headlight bulbs
(low-beam and high-beam), removal
and installation of the headlight
assemblies, and removal of head-
light-assembly components, contact
your SUBARU dealer.

&Headlights (Except WRX-STI)
Before replacing the left-hand (battery-
side) high-beam light bulb, remove the
screw that retains the windshield washer
nozzle and tip the windshield washer
nozzle sideways.
Non-turbo models
Turbo models
Before replacing the right-hand low- or
high-beam light bulb, remove the bolts
and remove the air intake duct.
CAUTION
Halogen headlight bulbs become
very hot while in use. If you touch
the bulb surface with bare hands or
greasy gloves, finger prints or
grease on the bulb surface will
develop into hot spots and cause
the bulb to break. If there are finger
prints or grease on the bulb surface,
wipe them away with a soft cloth
moistened with alcohol.
NOTE . If headlight aiming is required, con-
sult your SUBARU dealer for proper
adjustment of the headlight aim.. It may be difficult to replace the
bulbs. Have your SUBARU dealer re-
place the bulbs if necessary. Maintenance and service
