- Hey, quick video on how to replace change remove taillight bulbs in Subaru forester. Should be same procedure for 2007 2008 2009 2010 2011 2013 2012 Subaru forester.
Follow-up comment. In the video, repairED pointed out a place on the back of the tail light lens where a tab had been broken off. That's part of a notch that fits around a white plastic button. You can just see a little bit of this button behind repairED's hand at :52 in the video. I fortunately have a set of plastic wedges for removing interior plastic panels. I used them to get enough leverage to move the lens. You might need to use a lot more force than shown in this video to get the lens to move.
Awesome - straightforward and easy. Changed the light for $6 in under 2 minutes
Yesss
Thank you SO much for this. It was crystal clear and easy to follow. Changing my break light just took me less than 2 minutes and it cost me less than $2 :)
Thanks so much for making this video! I was able to save around $20 by doing it myself.
awesome
Simple and cheap fix. Thanks for the video
Thank you heaps man, I hope you live forever 😁

Thank you so much! I learned a lot from this video, you have a new subscriber! :D
Love how simple subie made this.
Love your videos since I bought a forester your videos helped me out twice in only one month. Thank you.
Remarkable
Thank you for a good explaination on how to do this.
Don't break a 50 cent mounting clip, Subaru doesn't sell them separately, they will charge you $250 for an entire light assembly.
Easy even for me. Instead of socket wrench, I used a screwdriver.
Thanks because I don’t have a wrench
super helpful thanks!
thanks man , great videos
Thank you so much for the video.
I was wondering how you pulled off the tail light cover so easily. Then I noticed that one of those white clips that plug into the holes of the car body was already broken. One of mine broke too the last time I tried taking it off.
I too broke one of the white plastic ball pins. I went to the dealer and was told I would need to buy the whole assembly. Not going to do that! So I went to a Subaru body shop and they looked at me like I had two heads. Then I called Subaru of America and they referred me back to the dealer and said there’s nothing they can do. What a bunch of BS!!! Especially when you consider that the pin screws right out and is easily replaceable! I bet the mechanics have a bin full of them in the back! They probably break them all the time!
@@tomgorycki7176 Luckily, when my white clip/ball pin broke, I had both pieces and I glued them back together using Q-Bond. The next time I removed the tail light assembly (which was right after I posted my message above) it was was still intact.
cbast2 Thanks for the tip! I still have both halves of the pin and they fit together well, so this sounds like a good option.
Thank you
Working on a 2009 Forester... My light assemby - the big plastic lens that holds the brake, turn, and backup lights - does not slide out. There's a catch holding it in place but I can't figure out where. Not as easy as it looks in the video. What am I missing?
It’s likely the little white thing in the video that for him broke off.
Amazing!!! Thank you!!
Thanks!
Thank you! Very helpful for me. :D
Спасибо за туториал! Супер изи ахах
What kind of bulb does it need? 7443?
Yes! For everyone wondering I just left my local O’Reilleys and they gave me a 2 pack of 7443 bulbs!
