Instructions for replacing headlight bulb for '98 subaru forester.

The pic attached shows instructions for the headlight and signal.
for just the signal light start by removing the phillips screw (A) from the tab above the headlight. Without breaking that tab, carefully pry the unit out from the corner start at the fender edge use something thin and plastic like a disposable knife with the teeth smoothed off.. once its out twist then pull out the bulb socket. They usually have markings to show the direction to twist. The bulbs are mostly the glass press in type which click when installed fully.

The clock works, correct? It is just not illuminating when your headlights are turned on? If this is the case then it is most likely that you have 2 burned out bulbs. The forester clock bulb is Sylvania bulb part #2723

Hope that helps! I have a bunch of clock related info on my website www.autoclockrepair.com. Let me know if I can be of assistance.

Yes. There are 2 types available. A 1 piece and a 2 piece. The 2 piece has a seperate turn signal. Good luck and have a good day.

I had the same problem with my 2001 Forester. Try this as a low-cost and easy repair attempt: buy brand new fuses and replace both L/H and R/H fuses. If one of your fuses is marginal, your headlights will exhibit this problem. Replacing my headlight fuses with brand new ones solved my situation.

Test to see if you have voltage at the bulb connector in low beam position. I'd almost bet that if there is no voltage there for the low beams that you have a bad high/low switch.

Do you have park,signal lights ,check fuses.

You will need to look at the plug for the headlight. If it looks good, I would look for the headlight low beam fuse.

there should be a collar that you have to take off first

open hood,unplug wire to bulb,pulloff rubber boot.There is a paperclip like thing you squeeze,ant bulb will come out.reverse the order.ok
