Why not just aim your present headlights properly? Besides, HID retrofits are illegal in MA. Get ready for some stiff fines and the hassles of reversing your work.

I asked SOA this question about my 2012 Outback, whose headlights are very similar to the Legacy, including the grey 8mm adjustment bolts: "My low beams are too high. With a pair of 80-pound dogs in the rear seats, the low beams point up rather than slightly down and oncoming drivers flash me very often ... a safety problem on the two-lane highways I frequent. My dealer says they cannot be adjusted. True?" SOA's response: Good Morning Mike, Thank you for contacting Subaru of America, Inc regarding your concern regarding the head lights on your 2012 Outback and would like to be of assistance to you. It is true that you can not adjust the light to whether they point up or down as they are permanent fixtures in the head light housing unit. However, I can document your concern in our system with and make our engineers aware of your concern. You inquiry is documented in case [XXX]. Bob Black Subaru of America, Inc. ----------------- End of conversation. I ignored SOA's response and adjusted mine, I believe. I found the grey-colored 8mm bolts pictured in various forums beneath the low beams and turned 'em each one turn clockwise (didn't bother removing the battery). Next time I drive at night I'll see whether that helped. For 50 years now I've always adjusted my low beams the practical way: as high as other drivers will let me. If I VERY seldom get flashed on two-lane, two-way roads and highways I'm probably OK. Mike
