Are you talking about replacing the headlight assembly or just the bulb? You are asking "how hard". Do you have a unit of measure in mind? Perhaps the question that you wanted to ask is "Is it reasonable to charge 100 dollars...?" My best advice, since you are clearly unhappy with the dealer's price is either (1) ask someone else, (2) or do it yourself. Nothing says that you have to go to the dealer to have a light bulb changed. --Ken

Subaru Forester was created in 1997.
The best place to check for Subaru Forester deals in a specific state is to go online or if close enough drive to the car dealership itself. Also online you can obtain a phone number and call the dealership to ask any questions you might have.
I was told at a dealership it would cost me about $3000 (Subaru Forester 2000). Cannot be more exact because when I started pushing for more precise explanation it happened to become a defective wire in the harness, not the transmisssion...
