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

Cons: DRL partially died

Pros: better for eyesight

Cons: pissing people off

We had the same issue on my wifes 22 explorer limited.

Dealership had it for a full day and traced the issue to a bad ground causing a power draw in one of the headlights and it was replaced under warranty.

Pros: headlight replaced under warranty

Cons: bad ground, power draw

Vehicle: Ford Explorer

I'm pretty sure the headlights on our RV are from an F-150. They are the worst e-bay specials and truly are terrible to drive at night.

Cons: terrible to drive at night
