Hi there

Has anyone else noticed that the dip (low beam) headlights on a 2004 (new shape) legacy don't seem to have a very big range?

If I travel on a road with no street lights then it is nearly impossible to see more than about 2 metres in front of the car.

Wondering if anyone else has noticed this and what they did to overcome it - i.e. if changed the bulbs, what type?

Thanks.

regards.
Matthew

The light on my 04 outback are fine. The sylvania silverstar bulbs
helped a lot though

My '01 OBW had terrible headlights. I ended up aiming them very slightly
up, about 1/2 way between the stock setting and the high beam.

That was one of my only complaints on an otherwise fine car.

Don't tell any big lies today. Small ones can be just as effective.

I aimed the fog lights up slightly so they light almost the same range in
front as the low beams, so I sort of use the fog lights as my low beams a
lot. Also lights the side of the road a bit, which helps to spot deer.
