scrupul0us Posted October 17, 2022 Share Posted October 17, 2022 Swapped my headlight bulbs this evening and unfortunately broke quite a few clips in the process. Would anyone happen to the know the part numbers for the clips? (there are two kinds, if that matters) Thank you =) This is my signature, there are many like it but this one is mine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All four headlight bulbs are easily accessible from the engine compartment. Did you perhaps mean the fog light bulbs?

I'd looked on Amazon and there are various kits with various sizes. I didn't want to buy a kit full of items I'd never use and figured I'd ask which ones I needed.

Low beam bulb, YT videos all showed going through the wheel well, so, that's what I did. Only took a few minutes.

Max Capacity Posted October 18, 2022 Share Posted October 18, 2022 Trust me, if you plan to keep the car, over time you'll use more clips. This link will take you to the OEM parts. Or, most Dealers website has a link to parts. 305,600miles 5/2012 ej257 short block, 8/2011 installed VF52 turbo, @20.8psi, 280whp, 300ftlbs. (SOLD). CHECK your oil, these cars use it.

That was true for Gen 5 Legacy (and Gen 4 Outback), but not for Gen 6 Legacy (2015-2019). You could have saved yourself a lot of trouble and aggravation.
