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.
To replace the parking light bulb on a 2005 Subaru Forester, first, open the hood and locate the back of the headlight assembly. Remove the bulb socket by turning it counterclockwise. Pull the old bulb straight out and insert the new bulb into the socket, ensuring it’s secure. Finally, replace the bulb socket back into the assembly and turn it clockwise to secure it.

Make sure to test the new bulb before securing everything back in place.
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

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
