Had to adjust my headligts down a bit on my '24 TXT as they were blinding people. Otherwise, the headlights are outstanding.

Pros: headlights are outstanding
Cons: blinding people

I have a ‘25 Outback Onyx XT, and even on regular setting, oncoming traffic flashes me as if my brights are on (they aren’t). Best headlights ever.

Pros: best headlights ever
Cons: traffic flashes me

Hey there. Wanted to comment on this as I noticed the same thing on my '22 when I bought it.\n\nThis is normal. DO NOT TAKE THEM APART!\n\nWhat you are seeing is the line between the high and low beam LED arrays in your headlight. The new design in '22 made big improvements to the headlight performance and this line is a result of that.\n\nI agree it is somewhat distracting but the new design having more LEDs available for the high beams makes a huge difference in how well they light up the road when they are on.

Pros: more LEDs available
Cons: somewhat distracting

Coming from my old 2005 Saab 9-2x Aero that had headlights that were opaque and yellowed and barely put out any light at all, these are literally like night and day. I dreaded night driving in my old car, especially if it was raining. It was like not having headlights at all. These ones on my Limited are like daylight coming out of the front of my car.

Pros: excellent illumination, clear visibility

Our '25 Forester had the lights aimed incredibly low. I followed the directions I've used in the past for aiming headlights:

* 25ft away from a wall on a flat surface

* Measure distance from ground to sideview mirrors

* Mark on a wall 1-2" less than that height

* Using a Philips screwdriver, adjust headlights so the beam on the driver side light comes just below that level

However, I did this and the lights were way too high - illuminating oncoming drivers. I had to adjust them lower by about 2-3" at 25'.

Pros: directions for aiming
Cons: lights aimed too low

I bought a 3-year old (2021) Forester in January, and I have noticed the headlights suck, too. On a dark road, I need to use the brights to illuminate any kind of meaningful field of visibility, and even then it’s not great.

Cons: headlights suck

My final complaint is the very visible outline of the cameras in the headlights. This was hyped to me as another safety feature — that the headlights turn ahead of the car as you turn. I barely notice this. But I notice the weird camera shadow outlines every time I drive at night. All

of this is extremely distracting and dangerous.

Cons: distracting, dangerous

I have a 2024 Outback Onyx. The headlights are super bright and I'm always getting flashed as though I have my high beams on when I don't.

Pros: super bright
Cons: getting flashed
