Frequently asked questions about Subaru headlamp bulb replacement & repairs
Read our answers to questions about headlamp bulb replacement costs, symptoms and more.
What does a headlamp bulb replacement on my Subaru involve?
- Mechanic will inspect the headlamp system, socket and corresponding wires.
- If necessary, the mechanic will replace the faulty light bulb.
- Mechanic will advise if any other parts need to be replaced.
- Mechanic will test the light(s) again to ensure the lights function properly.
What are the symptoms of a faulty Subaru headlamp bulb?

- You only see the reflection of one light where there would normally be two.
- You are warned by other road users, friends or even the police!
- You are advised when a service is carried out.
- The vehicle fails its MOT on a faulty light.
How long will a headlamp bulb replacement take on my Subaru?
A headlamp bulb replacement usually takes under 1 hour, but can take more time. Ultimately, the time that the job will take will depend on a number of factors, like your vehicle's make and model, year, as well as other factors. Select your car at the top of this page for information on job time and cost for your vehicle through ClickMechanic.
How often should I replace my Subaru headlamp bulb?
Quite simply as soon as you are aware it isn’t working. It is a legal requirement and a very important safety feature.
Some newer cars often make use of LED lighting which are practically maintenance-free. Bulbs on the other hand are prone to deterioration over time and can fail. That said, when the lights do not work properly it can be the case that there are other issues with the headlamp unit. The units usually have a separate fuse each which can fail too, it is therefore advisable to check the fuses first before replacing a bulb. Other bad electrical connections can be caused by damaged wires or lamp sockets.
What causes Subaru headlight bulbs to break?
The most common reason for a headlight bulb to break is that the bulb has been used for too long and has reached the end of its lifespan. Other reasons include physical damage to the bulb, such as from a rock or other road debris, or from a faulty electrical connection.
What is the average life of Subaru headlight bulbs?
Typically, you can expect a headlight bulb (Tungsten-Halogen) to last 500-1000 hours. However, depending on the type of bulb used this can differ significantly. For example, special Xenon bulbs can last 10,000 hours and LED bulbs can last as much as 30,000 hours.
