You have to remove 3 nuts from the inside of the car. Remove the cover that allows you to change the globes. Disconnect the wiriring loom. Undo 3 nuts and then the housing is held onto the body with black glue. Try heating the glue with a hair dryer or waiting for a hot day.
why is subaru forester 1998 hold light flashing
Replace the bulb, had to change one myselfe.
This was answered last week and is a simple procedure. One Phillips screw holds the parking light on in my 2000 Forester. You open the hood, remove the screw, pull the lamp assembly out and you have access to change the bulb. If you are asking about changing the whole assembly, the answer is the same. --Ken
On my Subaru Forester the instrument panel lamps are dimmed by turning a ring on the turn signal stalk.
Open the back door of your forester, now on the right, behind the light bulb assembly there will be a door panel push the tab att he top of it down and it should open up.
I have a 1999 Forester, but I imagine the 2003 is similar in this regard. You don't actually need to remove the headlamp to replace the bulb. On my car, I unplug the wire from the bulb at the back of the headlamp, remove the large rubber piece around the back of the bulb, unclip the clips that hold the bulb in place, remove and replace. Cheers! Mark This is a good answer and is so just as stated. Thanks Mark! RicT
The transmission doesn't have a light. It functions just fine in the dark.
On my 2000 Forester, the dashboard illumination dimmer control is on the turn signal stalk. --Ken
With the proper scan tool.
Not to be unkind - but READ THE MANUAL.
check the maintenance manual but all you need to do is unhook the power going to the light then take out the rubber linning and unscrew the retaining ring then replace lightbulb
Not necessarily.
