peril Posted March 16 Share Posted March 16 https://charm.li/Subaru/2011/Legacy F4-2.5L SOHC/Repair and Diagnosis/Lighting and Horns/Testing and Inspection/Headlight System/ There look to be 3-4 sensor / paths to test - Go stepwise thru this triage. I would suspect wiring, where I live it's not uncommon for rats / squirrels to chew on stuff - also would check the ground straps - you can have wierd stuff happen if they are torn up. (either bad ground strap on the engine or bad ground in the bcm path) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silverton Posted March 16 Share Posted March 16 Did you install the bulbs correctly? If you don't have them aligned in the socket the beam pattern is so poor they're basically DRL's. See the tab in the lower left of the socket? You won't believe how many times I find these bulbs installed crooked. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You won't believe how many times I find these bulbs installed crooked. Can you even get the clip to close if they aren't in right? It seems like you would bend the crap out of them.

Yes, it's possible, I've misaligned them thinking they were correct several times on the first try.

silverton Posted March 19 Share Posted March 19 (edited) The DRL is the high beam bulb at reduced power. The next 10-14 legacy/outback I get I will take a picture of what the low beam should look like when the low beam bulb is positioned correctly.
