Thank you very very much. None of the other videos or even the subaru guide that came with car mentioned the differences between the changing of a HID bulb vs ‘regular’ bulb.. And my guide didn’t explain how to change a HID bulb. I don’t think that was on ‘oversight’ by Subaru. We’re lucky there are people in the community like you. That is willing to take the time to record, narrate, edit and upload a video like this. Again thank you.
This is an amazingly well done video. Lots of info and explanations on what parts you’re removing and how. My daughter is very appreciative and it saved her soooooooo much money and time.
Prefect video. Enabled me to replace mine in 15 minutes myself. Thank you so much. The detailed view of the wire clips on the bulbs and installing the bulb first is what saved me. In Canada the HID bulb is a D2R on my 2017 Crosstrek. The dealer install here is about $200cdn if they use the after market bulb and the Osram bulb is $80cdn from the Napa Auto Parts. Cheers
Excellent, excellent video! You saved me hundreds! Your instruction was clear and concise, and your humor and accent made the video all the more charming. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!
Thank you so much for this video! None of my cars ever had HID bulbs so I was completely lost when I tried to change mine. This is probably the best and most detailed video I have found on youtube. Thank you again! Have a great day!
THANKYOU THANKYOU THANKYOU! I was about to take my Subaru to the dealership (4 hr round trip) just to replace the %@$%#$@%#%%@^ headlamp bulb. You're a lifesaver!
Thank you for this video. Watching it convinced me to try it myself instead of taking it to the dealership. The $40 for the two HID bulbs (now one spare) was a lot better than the $350 the dealership quoted me. Took less than 2 minutes on my Legacy.
Great video. Watched like 5 others and yours was the only one that was with the HID bulbs. $150 at my local auto parts store. I can only imagine how much they would charge me at the dealership. Was able to get it done I less than 5 minutes after I got the bulb.
This was perfect, I replaced both low beams on my XT. It was pretty straightforward after having watched this video a couple times. The only issue in general with replacing these is the tight space, but it can definitely be done. Thanks for making this video!
I like your video! Nice transitions, and I love your accent. But, my Subaru lights don't look like that. Maybe because I didn't get the Xenon option. So I still have to find another video to change my bulb, but I'm finishing yours because it is so enjoyable!
Wonderful video, we looked at 2, and it wasn't the correct bulb...and we are in Hawaii...smile..both low beams replaced...the working one was red/yellow in hue...now they are both blue
Hey from Canada! I could understand your English just fine. Looked up a video on what I was in for when I replace the bulbs on our 2015 Limited. Great video, what was the odometer at on this vehicle when replaced?
I think it was around 100.000 kilometres then. In Finland the lamps must always be on when driving the car, no matter whether it is day or night. Therefore the low beam bulbs need replacement more often.
LOL ... I did not know that there is such a thing as a K-value. I assume You are asking about the color temperature. Well, I would say that these are the daylight versions, around 4000 Kelvin. I did not choose it. It was the only one that was available and/or that I could find.
@@geoffkarcher9005 Same here on the first video I found. Typically if you just get OEM bulbs you get the OEM spec of the kalvin rating. Which is a good thing!
@@jeb721 I didn’t end up buying OEM bulb because the dealer cost for the part was so high. However I think it was 3700 in the end and it looks identical.
Incredible. Finally someone who actually knew about replacing these headlights. Great video.
Thank you! All other videos show a completely different set up. You saved me!

Sir, Thank you! I couldn’t figure out how to remove that damn plate to reach the bulb. You saved me from using a lot of curse words haha..
Thanks very much. This was the best video to replace my subaru XV HID headlight by miles, really helpful.

Thank you for making this video from a fellow sailor (US Navy).

Great video, easy-peasy job. Biggest part was removing the battery to access left bulb.
I guess You have a different configuration with the battery as my left bulb was accessible with the battery in place.
Excellent, excellent video! You saved me hundreds! Your instruction was clear and concise, and your humor and accent made the video all the more charming. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!
Matt H and other commentators took the words right out of my mouth. Excellent video, thank you very very much!

Very helpful. My dealership wanted to charge me 370$ CAD to do the passenger side bulb. You've saved me a lot of time and money! Thank you.
Thanks for the explanation, now I change the hid lamps by miself 👏👏👏
THANKYOU THANKYOU THANKYOU! I was about to take my Subaru to the dealership (4 hr round trip) just to replace the %@$%#$@%#%%@^ headlamp bulb. You're a lifesaver!
thank you sir! im looking at the video to satisfy me, the wife and the inspector (for the annual inspection). thanks
Thank you, it was easy after watching this. So much brighter now, kiitos!
Glad if this helped You.

Just installed mine, literally just needed to know about the lil notch on the top and it made my life a breeze. Thanks so much!!

Great video, calm and clear. Your accent and presentation style reminds me of Ismo😊. Easy to understand and makes me smile👍
Best wishes from Sweden!
Thank you, saved me a lot of money and time.
You're doing well and done. Even if I won't need to know other informations, I will watch in your side..🎉
Muchas gracias por el video viejito Pascuero, saludos desde 🇨🇱
Fantastic! Saved me over $400 in dealer costs.
Yes, in this case one can be ripped really badly. The job itself is so simple yet anything related to "Xenon" can cost You dearly.
Thank you - you made it looked so easy, I decided to change one myself. It took me less than 15 minutes. I will replace the one tomorrow.
Thank you very much! I couldn't find any real information on this anywhere.
This was perfect, I replaced both low beams on my XT. It was pretty straightforward after having watched this video a couple times. The only issue in general with replacing these is the tight space, but it can definitely be done. Thanks for making this video!
I did disconnect my battery first just to be safe. I’d seen that recommended in several other places.
I like your video! Nice transitions, and I love your accent. But, my Subaru lights don't look like that. Maybe because I didn't get the Xenon option. So I still have to find another video to change my bulb, but I'm finishing yours because it is so enjoyable!
it's pretty much the same except the plug for the bulb looks different, you just pull it off, instead of twisting it off like a bayonet.
Wonderful video, we looked at 2, and it wasn't the correct bulb...and we are in Hawaii...smile..both low beams replaced...the working one was red/yellow in hue...now they are both blue
I did it all wrong, then thanks to this video, bulb first, connector after. Thank you.
Thank you, sir. The best video out there on this topic.
Very very good video. You saved me!
Thanks, I like the red/green shirt. :) and accurate close up video .
Great video. You explain everything very thoroughly.
Great! Now I can spend my money on high grade bulbs instead of standard ones and a lot of money at the shop for replacing them for me👌
Thank you so much for this video! Well done!
Perfect video!

Ookko nää Leikolan isä? 😄
Vähä samanlainen puhetyyli 😅
En ole. Siis ainakaan en tiedä että olisin. Toki sitäjoskus nuoruudessa tuli säntäiltyä ns. hameesta toiseen mutta en tosiaankaan usko :)
Aitäh!
What k value of light did you choose?
