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

I had the same issue on one front light for my cayenne 2016. I am not a handy man and got advised from my mechanic that I replaced it, got replaced for 9000 dirhams for a used one and perfect since then. I didn\u2019t bother fixing, it had a hole in the silicon.

Pros: used replacement worked

Cons: hole in the silicon

Vehicle: Porsche Cayenne

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

My 996.1 is my first Porsche, and it’s consistently able to make me happy. Even the dumb lights are aging surprisingly well.

Pros: aging surprisingly well

Vehicle: Porsche 911

Performance and reliability per dollar isn’t good. The turbo is the coolest looking trim in the 996 gen, but i really don’t like the headlights.

Pros: coolest looking trim

Cons: headlights, interior

Vehicle: Porsche

Have the same issue in a brand new cayenne. They said the problem is that I live in an area with humid weather and that they cant replicate the issue in the workshop and wont replace them. From what I have heard and read so far, it seems it is an issue with Porsche headlights.

Pros: issue with Porsche headlights

Cons: humid weather causes issue

Vehicle: Porsche Cayenne
