[QUOTE="fuz940510, post: 848309, member: 16289"] Time to revive this thread. I have been living with the "upgraded" bulbs for about 6 months now, and I really do need to make an actual improvement. I damaged a rim when hitting a pothole while driving at night en route to the South Coast (thank goodness for steel rims). In my searchings i came across these: Brights: https://www.carid.com/2007-subaru-forester-led-lights/lumen-led-headlight-conversion-kit-175100336.html Dims: https://www.carid.com/2007-subaru-forester-led-lights/lumen-led-headlight-conversion-kit-88857015.html The conversion process seems to be pretty straight forward, providing there is space behind the headlight cluster for the heatsink. A crimping tool, sidecutters, a screwdriver and some patience appear to be all that is required. If i can stomach the cost i might go the extra step and get some new housings too, with the above LED bulbs included: https://www.carid.com/2007-subaru-forester-headlights/tyc-factory-replacement-headlights-109408800.html Has anyone tried them, or something similar?
