Not sure about the Forester, but common issue on Outbacks. You can't adjust the brightness, but you can adjust the angle. You need a long shank Phillips screwdriver and you can angle the lights down a bit
Pros: adjust the angle
Vehicle:
Subaru Outback
Man, I drive a Subaru. My apologies. You are getting the regular headlights, not hi beams. They’re just very bright. Sorry. ;(
Pros: very bright headlights
Vehicle:
Subaru
I have been worrying about this ever since I got my 2025 Crosstrek. These new headlights are much better for my lousy eyesight while I'm driving at night
Pros: better for eyesight
Cons: pissing people off
Vehicle:
Subaru

Since the night I drove my car home, I've been getting flashed by drivers while using my low beams.
Cons: blinding other drivers, getting flashed
Vehicle:

I came to reddit to make sure I wasn't crazy. 2025 Impreza. I just got it and had it out at night for the first time last night. Same exact issues. Very odd cutout on the road in front of me. Very distracting.
Cons: odd cutout, distracting
Vehicle:
Subaru Impreza
The 2nd gen BRZ definitely had the best headlights out of any car I've owned or driven.
Pros: best headlights
Vehicle:
Subaru BRZ
In the last year I bought a 2022 Subaru Forester Wilderness and people flash their high beams at me all the time. I’m sure they are always quite shocked when I flash them back and they realize it’s just my normal headlights.
Pros: bright
Cons: blinding to others
Vehicle:
Subaru Forester
My Subaru Outback actually came equipped with laser beams - I know this because I commonly get people flashing at me to turn off my brights (and for shits and giggles I flash back)
Pros: very bright
Cons: blinding to others
Vehicle:
Subaru Outback
