The front headlights on your 1999 Subaru Forester goes off sometimes when you use the turn signal?

The problem is caused by the headlight switch in the turn signal lever. The headlight switch loosens over time and causes electrical shorts which make the headlight go out when the switch is jiggled. This happens most commonly when indicating in either direction.
The fix is to replace the turn signal lever. The lever is approximately $100 and can be easily replaced at home.
Unscrew 3 screws on the bottom of the steering wheel column cover. Push the steering wheel height adjustment lever all the way down to remove the cover.
The turn signal lever can then be removed by removing the electrical harness and unscrewing the two screws that secure it to the steering column.
Reverse the process to put in the new turn signal lever.
