Haven't had to replace headlamp bulbs on my '00 yet, but here's what the manual says: Disconnect the connector from inside of the engine compartment Remove rubber cap Remove the light bulb retaining spring to remove the bulb. Replace the bulb with a new one and reassemble in reverse order. Sounds simple, doesn't it? Make sure that the new bulb is clean. No fingerprints on the glass!! And there is a weep hole in the rubber boot. That needs to be down to allow any moisture to drip out. Good luck!--Kenfi
I just did this on a 2000 forester. 1) Open the hood and follow the wired to the rubber cap on the back to the headlight. There is a smaller rubber cap that you can work off of the plug and down the wire. I did this by turning the cap inside out. This was the most difficult part. 2) The plug has two little tabs that you can see once the smaller rubber cap is off (the cap will still be on the wire, but off of the plug). Push the tabs and remove the plug. 3) Remove the larger rubber boot that comes off pretty easily. 4) Now you can see the retaining spring. Push them together and they will disengage from the housing. Remove the bulb. 5) Put in a new bulb, clip in the retaining springs, and replace the large rubber boot (the top is labeled). 6) Before plugging the wires in replace the smaller rubber cap. This was kind of tricky but went well after I turned it inside out before trying to get it back on the plug.
7) Plug the wires into the new lamp.

How do you remove the headlamp assembly on a 2003 Subaru Forester for changing the light bulbs inside the assembly?
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

How do you replace the headlight bulb located on a 1998 Nissan Maxima?
Open the hood and find the electrical lead into the headlamp: that plugs directly into the bulb, which is screwed into the headlamp. You just need to remove the plastic shield over the back of the headlamp to gain access, unplug the electrical lead, and unscrew the bulb. Replace the bulb, reattach the lead, and reinstall the shield. A 10-minute job!
