- Today I show you how to remove and replace the low beam headlight bulbs on my Subaru Outback XT. To my knowledge, this process is same for the following:
2005 Subaru Outback (All trims)
2006 Subaru Outback (All trims)
2007 Subaru Outback (All trims)
I was worried about breaking more clips like my last video, however as you see in this video it actually wasn't bad at all!
Hope you enjoyed!

Very helpful. I would suggest seating the bulb FIRST, then plug it in. You can plug in in a way that's impossible to seat, so leaving yourself full mobility, you can turn the bulb until it drops into place--then clip it in and plug it in.
I did this today and definitely agree with setting the bulb first, pinning it in, and then plugging it in. Job went smoothest that way. Thank you so much for the video and advice.
READ THIS BIT FIRST! Wish I read this comment before I did it - makes perfect sense now that I have done it. Would be a lot easier!!!
Great Correction; this video is simple and helpful boost to basic knowledge ( a little dark though lol)!
Figured that out on the fly. Also, my dad taught me to handle the bulb with a clean handkerchief and apply some electrical contact grease to the prongs to insure conduction and inhibit corrosion. Thanks!
6 years late and this video is still helpful! Thank you!
That '05 looks like it just came out of the dealer.. Wow, so clean. Thanks for the video.
Mate.. out of the six videos I've watched this is the clearest and most helpful. Thanks heaps!
That XT looks nice under the hood. These videos are a lifesaver. That metal clip would have for sure broke if I didn’t watch a ‘how to’ video prior to changing it my first time. I still generally pull one up to ensure I’m doing things correctly. Since so much time passes until I need to replace the bulbs.
Thank you! Just a few minutes of watching your "tutorial" turned a mystery into an easy 15min task!
Super helpful! As a female, I have been trying to become more independent in car maintenance and minor repairs. This video was simplistic with easy step by step instructions. Thanks SubaruSerenity!
Hello Brittany, just a little tip..
Don't touch the bulb with your fingers. It will cause it to burn out prematurely. What I do is spray the bulb with electrical parts cleaner or clean the bulb with rubbing alcohol before you put it in.
Doing this will save you having to change it every 6months.
Same here with the same car!
I want to thank you for the low beam replacement info!! Your demenstration was well done& very easy to follow!!Thanks again!!
Thank you very much for this. I am not very handy with mechanical stuff and I had an idea this was a bit tricky. All done now, in about 30 mins, including the time taken to watch your video. Much appreciated.
Doesn't really matter if you touch the bulb on the way out lol it's served its purpose. Don't touch the glass when installing, as the oil on your fingers causes problems. Very helpful video! And super clean xt!
Love the way you explain it, very easy and simply, i need to show my mom (who owns one) how to change the bulb since i am not here... this video was perfect
Thought it was 1 bulb to vontrol both lights and after watching this video i realized i replaced the highb3am for no reason. Thanks for the vid
Thank you! I watched this twice, then went outside and replaced my headlights in my ‘06 Outback. It went perfectly except I wrecked my same clip as you did. Monkey see monkey do!
Anyway it’s a real relief having headlights again and it was very easy once you showed me how.
Happy Holidays!
Thank you. Much simpler than I thought it was going to be. Save me a few bucks taking it into the shop.
Wow, just as easy as you made it look! Thank you.
Damn that thing looks brand new!!!
Great tutorial easy replacement
Thanks for the video. Straightforward directions. How can I get my engine compartment looking new like this Subaru?
Just the video I needed.
And thank you for the video on how to change light bulbs, it was very helpful
Thanks! Just successfully changed my bulb!
Great video, did one, and then a couple weeks later had to do the other.
2005 Subaru Legacy, worked just the same.
Except where you had 1 of those clips for the plastic cover on the passenger side, I don’t have any lol
Damn that XT looks brand new!!!
Very nice demonstration
Thanks very Helpful! Changed out for my daughter!
Very helpful! Thank you!!!
I'd like to see my Subaru looking that new again! 😂
Cool, I should be able to handle that, I knew it probably wasn't that complicated and the shop was gonna charge me $120 to do it. Gonna get some bulbs and do it at home
My man. Coming through again
You make videos so easy and do it right. You my friend..have a new subscriber. Thank you!
Great video do you have one changing spark plugs on 2011 Forester
Thank you!!!!! You helped me!
Does I have some lamps but don't know if they are right one's they are round lamps not long ones like in video does it matter
jealous wish i had the xt version but i’m stuck with the base model 2.5L for now
I’d definitely recommend getting a XT or if you can, find a H6 of this generation! Really good cars and the H6 Outback will treat you really well if you take care of them!
@@subaruserenity i’ve been looking but they never sell in my area unfortunately
Thank you so much!!!
Very helpful video...thank you!
is this the same for an 05 Legacy?
would this work for my 05 legacy ? or would I need to remove the whole headlight assembly?
This should be the same process for you. You do not need to remove the whole assembly.
thanks so much!!!
Can you make a video on how to change spark plugs
Thank you so muchas
Thank You. I liked your Video.
What causes my bulb burn out so soon only 2month
Very helpful thank,
Thank you so much. Great instructions! I love doing things myself!!
Easy part of this was putting the air duct back in. I was doing it all wrong.
Besttttt
Wheres the grease go
I really dont like those clips things. On my Ford is just simple bolts.
Tbh I didnt find this helpful. The video is pretty dark and I cant tell a whole lot of what you're doing because you move too fast
BAD
Thank you
