Evening all - so I have lost one bulb (driver's side) on my 2012 XV from the front position lights. And of course it's the little bulb connection tucked in at the edge of the engine housing where you need doll's hands to get to it. Manual suggests removing the cover inside the wheel arch and going in from behind so to speak.

It all seems a bit of a faff in my opinion - anyone had experience changing these bulbs, hints and tips etc before I trudge off to Subaru to change a £3.50 part?

Sadly a story familiar to many car owner of many different brands.  Cars are design for manufacture rather than maintenance.  Hope you manage to get it sorted maybe someone has a magic formula than can offer you?

All done - luckily my friendly neighbourhood Subaru dealer sorted both replacement bulbs out in less than 20 minutes for £22 including VAT. Plus I got to ogle some of their BRZs in their stock - win!

Sounds like a win - win, always good to look at new motors.
