There is a plastic cover over the bulbs that has to be rotated to the right less than 90 degrees standing in front of the bumper. Before you do this, mark the plastic housing with a mark of some sort so you can line it up for putting it back on. The plastic cover has tabs that fit inside slots in the housing that are difficult to see. Removal of the air intake plastic piece makes this job easier and 2 10 MM bolts are all that is required to simply remove this interference. It is difficult (impossible) to see the instruction "rotate to remove" instruction on the plastic cover unless it is removed. Go figure! Once the plastic cover removed, the low beam bulb (H1) is easily removed by pressing down the wire retaining spring on the right side of the bulb and swinging it out of the way. This spring clip will stay attached and won't drop. The wires to the bulb (less than $10) should be pulled off - different size quick disconnect lugs. Replacement is straight forward, but make sure the rubber O-ring on the plastic cover doesn't fall off and that all the cover tabs are engaged into the housing. The plastic cover should fit tight all the way around to ensure a good water seal. The high beam bulb is below the low beam. The bulb assembly is rotated 90 degrees to the right and comes out of the housing. The bulb can be removed from the socket (wires attached) by pressing down on a locking tab with your index finger. Replacement is the opposite.

how to replace high/low beam, turn signal lever on 1996 subaru outback wagon
Sorry, but it won't. Subaru's changed their headlight shape every 3 years or so. They made a change around April 1997, so the one's before that are different from the ones after.
The Outback is a Subaru wagon model.
what tires can I use for my 2005 Subaru Outback 2.5i Wagon?
Your owner's manual has instructions for changing the bulb including illustrations: http://techinfo.subaru.com/proxy/69554/pdf/ownerManual/069554_2003_Legacy/MSA5M0301A_19.pdf
There are two screws on the back of each headlight housing. One adjusts up and down, the other side to side.
The short answer is yes.
Probably 1996 thru 1999 if it is going wagon to wagon.
The 2008 Subaru Outback has 16 valves.
Your owner's manual shows how to change these bulbs on the Outback wagon and sedan. If you do not have a manual, it is available here in electronic format.
