Thank you for this simple, clear, well-done video. You get extra credit for supplying the bulb numbers. I had your situation in reverse - right side tail light out, left side brake light out. This video guided me to replace 2 tail + 2 brake = 4 bulbs of our 2012 Outback for $19.40 tax included. One small variation - for removing the screw style clips, my fingernails were insufficient and I used pliers to gently pull out the clip.
Thanks!!! Excellent, made it simple understanding. Very easy to do. Watched before changing bulbs. Liked when you you installed back that you showed the white tabs on the taillight and car body that had to slide into each other and line up in order to hold it to the car securely.
Thank you for this video, you explained it very easy. I was able to change this at the auto store and now can safely continue on working. Thank you again, peace be with you
Thank you. All the info I was looking for. Especially the light type! Even my manual doesn’t tell me what bulbs. I’m going to your links and ordering 👍🏻
Hi, Thank you for your video. Great stuff. Do you have a video or a link to instructions on how to replace the whole light housings (not the bulb) that are installed on the tail gate? I tried to replace mine but I wasn’t sure how to remove the outside trim. I have searched high and low for instructions but cannot find anything online. I’m living in Japan and have a 2010 Outback. My lights are custom and Subaru won’t touch it since they’re not OEM lights, unfortunately. Cheers
Thanks! This was so informative. I ordered 2825s and they are so bright they almost look like brake lights. I put one in the hatch running light and next to old one, it’s super bright. Or maybe the old one is really dim? Not sure but I’ll play around with them.
2825's are brightest with only 300 hours lifetime, 168's are slightly less bright with 1500 hours lifetime, and 194's are the dimmest with 2500 hours lifetime. All of them fit, so it's up to you, but since the high mount brake light is LED from the factory, I use the longest life span 194's.
Excellent graphics and description of the process to replace the lamps. Nicely done. Suggestion: next time get a videographer to help you out with the shooting. You will be able to relax more and concentrate solely on your fine presentation.
The black plastic cover has a small molded catch inside. Pushing in on the middle section at the internal 90 deg corner and towards the front of the car takes the pressure off of the catch. Do this while trying to pull the part towards the center of the car.
Question my right tail light stopped working I changed the light bulb and it literally worked for like a day and a half them stopped what should I do next I have a suburu outback 3.0r
Damari, first check that you have the correct replacement bulb, second make sure the bulb socket is clean (not corroded, or dirty) if so make sure the new bulb is securely seated. A poor connection can cause bulbs to fail. Good luck!
Both plastic lock screws stripped on me, pulled them out as I've seen in several videos, the lock piece came out with the screws, on of them the tip broke off. Very disappointing. Also the cover didn't come off easily anywhere as near as yours. Really had to pry it off.
Subaru car dealer tried to charge me $150 for change brake light with labor. I thought it would be hard but watching this. Bruh. It so stupid easy with $10 for 2 brake light blub.

Great video. Took me 5 minutes to replace the burned out bulb. Thanks for posting!
Thanks for the video. We watched it before changing our bulb.

That was a very good and simple demonstration on how to change these lightbulbs. Thank you.

In the military we call directions like this "soldier-proof": very explicit and understandable. Thanks.

Appreciate the feedback. Sadly for now this is a one man operation, but I do my best. (Some are better than others) 😆
thanks, made it so simple to do!!!
Excellent worker just as described. Thank you

@@MattsGarageMiscDIY omg thank you so much I'll do it asap I really appreciate you

You just never know with all the plastic on these cars today, but I hope the video was still helpful, sounds like you have it handled!
@@MattsGarageMiscDIY Bulb replacement was the easiest part! Thanks, I do appreciate the video.
They're not really screws, push in and turn them 1/4 of a turn and they should pop out. They're like the thing in a Turkey that pops when it's done.
Thanks for the clear concise info!
Thanks
Gracias. Thanks
De nada Jorge :)
Thanks Sir!
