Lighting Systems: Other Subaru Outback BH

PRECAUTIONS

1. Before disassembling or reassembling parts, always disconnect battery ground cable. When replacing radio, control module, and other parts provided with memory functions, record memory contents before disconnecting the battery ground cable. Otherwise, the memory will be erased.
2. Reassemble in reverse order of disassembly, unless otherwise indicated.
3. Adjust parts to the given specifications.
4. Connect connectors and hoses securely during reassembly.
5. After reassembly, make sure functional parts operate smoothly.

HEADLIGHT AIMING

Note. As this headlight is the "VISUAL AIMING TYPE", it is possible to adjust aiming only in the vertical direction. It cannot be adjusted in the horizontal direction.

Note. Before checking the headlight aiming, be sure of the following: The area around the headlight has not sustained any accident, damage or other type of deformation. Vehicle is parked on level ground. The inflation pressure of tires is correct. Vehicle's gas tank is fully charged. Bounce the vehicle several times to normalize the suspension. Make certain that someone is seated in the driver's seat.

Turn the headlight on and then adjust the low beam pattern to the following positions on the screen.

Note. Adjust the headlight aiming by turning the adjusting screw (a).

OUTBACK

1. Remove fog light assembly. See «OUTBACK»(ref-176259-S11987353462005051200000) , REMOVAL, Front Fog Light Assembly.
2. Disconnect harness connector.
3. Loosen screws and turn the bulb assembly counterclockwise, and then detach the bulb.

WAGON

1. Remove two rear quarter trim covers.
2. Remove two nuts and then remove rear combination light while disconnecting connector.

Note. Before removing the nuts, apply a few turns of butyl tape to the tip of the service tool. This prevents the nuts from falling during removal.
