Forester 2001 Halogen Light Bulb / Replacement

All, I am a happy owner of a Subaru Forester 2001 L. It has paid for itself many times over getting to my destination safely during the most inclement of times in Upstate New York.

Ok, I think I know what the problem was, two things:

Rule #1) Don't do car work in the pitch dark. Rule #2) When in doubt, read the manual that came with the car!

I hang my head in shame. Someone else in this forum said it was *easy* and they were right. But then, everything is easy once you know how to do it, right?

The bulbs are in and I am good to go. (Tricky getting them in without touching the bulb surface though!!)

This really is a GREAT Forum, as I have turned to it in the past and gotten my answers!!

Best regards to the Suby Owner's Community.
