This has got to be the most insanely engineered setup I've ever seen, only slightly more complex than just changing out a bulb. It seems the easiest solution to all this is to buy a Toyota.

Shiddharth Patel says:

Thanks for the video, this was very helpful to install new led headlight bulbs (h7) for low beam. For anyone trying to do it yourself by installing these headlights, be careful with the heatsink or whatever that fin thing is on the back of the actual bulb. One issue i ran into was the closing spring/wire, I had to use pliers to bend it and make it more wide to fit the base of the led lights Remove that spring/wire from the screw that keeps it in place and adjust and bend when ready. I laid the newly bent spring/wire around the led light, then placed the bulb, and then pushed the spring/wire into the slot where the screw is holding it and tightened the screw. Then closed that spring/wire into the hook it goes in.. I think this is the only way to install those – can't do the tire trick with the regular bulbs. Good luck!

Martha Rankin says:

This is very straightforward. I replaced a bulb a while back, but do to several surgeries, I cannot replace a bulb, but it does need new assembly for both. It looks to be a bit more work, but doable, now to get my husband to do it for me.

i have a built november '09 (10-14 body model shown in this video) OB 3.6R Premium that has hid's factory, is this new headlight assembly resembling the later year model compatible?

Kelsey Rinella says:

This was amazing—wasted little time, and was so clear I felt confident enough to try this replacement, though I’d never done anything similar. I just finished, and it was very nearly as easy as it looked (despite me trying it on an older, dirtier car in an unheated garage in winter). Very well done, and made me glad I’d ordered the part from you, because you totally earned whatever profit that gives.

Bernardo Beckford says:

I have a question.my 2012 Subaru legacy uses his headlights;can I convert the system to use regular headlights?I believe your video is quite precise and helpful.

Not Jason Blooey says:

Thanks! I botched the restoration on my mom's headlights and I'm thinking on doing this.

Kenny Rova says:

How do you replace the headlight in that specific unit. It has that big round plate behind the bulb of the headlight.

Andrew Goodrich says:

Great instructional video. I will need to replace my 2010 impreza fixture in the coming weeks and will for sure watch again. Dealership was quoting me $800+ for replacing the fixture but this seems fairly manageable with a buddy for some afternoon fun. I'm sure there may be some slight differences but this is much less intimidating with this video as a reference.

John K says:

Great instruction. I watched this vid and was able to replace a friend's headlight assemblies. The dealership want $1,600+ parts and labor ($750 in labor alone)! We did it in 2.5 hours. It went exactly how you described it….although I did tighten one bolt too much. Live and learn. Thanks!
