As many of you would be aware, Forester headlight seals are notorious for leaking (esp my 11/05 model). Up until recently, I have replaced my headlight bulb approx. 10 times in the last 18 months. After protracted searches and phone calls to purchase a secondhand replace at a reasonable price (avg price quoted - AUD $350.00) I had resigned myself to the fact that I would have to pay far more money than I wanted too or keep replacing the burnt out/blown bulbs. That was until recently, when I purchased an aerosol can of RUST-OLEUM LeakSeal clear flexible rubber coating sealant from Bunnings (AUD $15.90).
I followed the instructions on the tin, applied 2 coats along the top seal of the headlight, waited for it to cure and then used a black permanent marker for aesthetics. Now after approx. 5 months, numerous storms and weather events, car washes etc - not one bulb has burnt out/blown bulb.
I highly recommend anyone experiencing similar issues to try this very economical fix and save yourself over AUD $330.00 in purchasing a secondhand replacement headlight assembly.
I hope this may assist some of you.

Have a great day.

Hello Everyone,

I just purchased the above model Subaru as a Bizabout - similar to a Runabout except to drive for a economical car for work.
Can someone please tell me how to adjust the head light and high beam lights in this model.
Is there a separate adjustment for the headlight and the highbeam globes?
I appreciate any assistance available - thank you.

Regards
Rob
