SOURCE: 2005 Subaru Outback XT - Real Tail light- bulb replacement

1. Open the rear hatch, and look down towards the bumper, in the direction of the tail light bulb needing replacement.
2. You should see the dark colored plastic trim piece, which is held in place by two small plastic body style philips head screws.
3. These wil only 'loosen' a little bit, you will need to slip a fingernail or some other slim item, underneath the heads of each of the screws, and pull back on them firmly by grasping the body of the screw, not the head (which is flimsy, and can crush if squeezed).
3. remove the plastic trim piece - it can be achieved by lifting out and towards you - set aside.
4. Using a 10mm socket or wrench, unscrew the upper and lower bolts holding the taillight assembly in place.
5. the taillight assembly is now loose - it can pulled rearwards, and will slide off of the small guide slots holding it in place.
6. The bulb is a twist lock style, underneath the tan cap- twist the cap counter-clockwise, and it will pop out. The bulb is a number 7440, for the running light/ brake light, and a 7443 for the turn signal. a 3757 will not fit through the cut out hole in the taillight assembly.
7. Re-assemble in reverse, making sure to check the function of the bulb PRIOR to re-assembly.
Good Luck.

SOURCE: Need to replace a headlight assembly for a 2006 Subaru Outback.

No, you just remove the radiator grill and the side marker light and the headlight housing bolts and it comes out. Not a real hard job and is Real straight forward. Good luck and have a good day.

SOURCE: 2001 subaru outback headlight not working

chapmnfarm: your head lights use a "2" fuse system.
one for the left and one for the right.
The fuse box you are looking for is under the hood on the passenger's side. It is a black box roughly 8 inches long and 4-5 inches wide. When you remove the cover, you will see fuses and relays. What you are looking for is the section in the box which has a cluster of 7 fuses. 3 in one row and 4 in the other. On the outer parameter are two relays. The fuses you are interested in are located in the row of 4 fuses, with the two closest to the "L" shaped part of the box. Both of those should be 15 amp fuses.
The fuse below those should be a 20 amp which is the lighting switch and the one below it is a 15 amp which is for the interior lights and the clock.
Check your harness grounds in the engine compartment near the area you have the problem. There are ground wires which come out of the harness on both sides of the core support. The wires are black in color and have "EYES" crimped onto the ends of the wires. Both of them will probably be located about 4-6 inches below the upper tie bar on each side of the radiator. Odds are that the eyes will be large enough to pass a 6mm bolt through.
I hope what I have given you will resolve your problem. Lem me know,,good luck>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Hi, my Suzuki swift 2008 has a problem. My back lights, fog lights, all interior lights except radio aren't working. I checked the saftey switches and neither one of them looks burnt. Anyome has a clue...

They are all separate circuits, start by checking fuses. Let's start with the interior lights check the bulb if OK check for voltage at the bulb use a test light if the light lights check the door switches.back up lights check fuse then check the bulbs and sockets, same with the fog lights check fuse (does the blue light come on?) remove the bulb and socket from one side, is the socket burned? replace as needed. I hope this helps, take care.

Open door but no light comes on

Some vehicles have a switch that can be used to disable the interior light. The switch can be set to ON, DOOR or OFF position.
If you don't have this switch check that the bulb isn't burnt out. If bulb is OK look in the fuse panel for a burnt fuse.

Why do my interior lights flash when i open the driver door only and also my windows have stopped working as well?

Check if all of the windows (except the drivers window) work from the main switch, and from the window switches on each door. If the windows all work from the doors switches, you have a bad master (main) panel controlling the drivers door window. If the windows don't work from any switch, check for a fuse issue, or a pinched wire in the tube from the door hinge area to the door.

What causes interior light not to come on

Could be a blown fuse, sticky door switch, or the light bulb needs replacement.

If the interior light works only when you open one door, look for a push button switch at the hinge side of the other (mind fingers). Try a squirt of WD40, or similar lubricant to make it actuate freely.

When one interior light is working, but another is not, then you may have a blown bulb. Try your nearest parts shop and let them know the exact make, model and year manufactured of your car for a replacement bulb. Ideally bring along the old one for comparison.
Remove the clear plastic lens from the light by unclipping it from the car ceiling fabric. You may need a thin flexible blade like a palette knife, or paint scraper to gently prise off the cover (make sure it's clean) like this picture of the Holden Astra TS 2001-2004.

If none of the interior lights is working, but other lights are, then maybe you have a blown fuse. The fuse panel is typically located under the front dash, or in the engine bay, but refer to your owner's guide for exact details.

The middle light on my ceiling inside the car will not turn off

there is no manual switch for this light, aside from removing the bulb.

if the light is staying illuminated, you likely have a problem with one of your door switches. are you experiencing any warning chimes like an open door? if so, look towards the drivers door. if not, look towards the passenger side. good luck!
