Subaru Forester: Headlights (models with HID headlights)
High-intensity-discharge (HID) bulbs are used for the low beams of the headlights. These HID bulbs use an extremely high voltage. To avoid the risk of an electric shock that could result in serious injury, observe the following precautions.

- Do not remove any headlightassembly components by yourself.
For replacement, contact your SUBARU dealer.
