Maintenance and service

! Headlights (U.S. spec. WRX-STi)

High-intensity-discharge (HID) bulbs are used
for the low beams of the headlights on the U.S.
spec. WRX-STi. These HID bulbs use an ex-
tremely high voltage. To avoid the risk of an
electric shock and resulting serious injury, you
should not attempt to replace them. Neither
should you attempt to replace the high-beam
bulbs, remove/refit the headlight assemblies,
or remove any headlight-assembly compo-
nents. For replacement of the headlight bulbs
(low-beam and high-beam), removal and instal-
lation of the headlight assemblies, and removal
of headlight-assembly components, contact
your Subaru dealer.

! Headlight (Except U.S. spec. WRX-STi)

Halogen headlight bulbs become very hot while
in use. If you touch the bulb surface with bare
hands or greasy gloves, finger prints or grease
11-66
on the bulb surface will develop into hot spots
and cause the bulb to break. If there are finger
prints or grease on the bulb surface, wipe them
away with a soft cloth moistened with alcohol.
NOTE
" If headlight aiming is required, consult your
SUBARU dealer for proper adjustment of the head-
light aim.
" It may be difficult to replace the bulbs. Have
your SUBARU dealer replace the bulbs if neces-
sary.
