| The front headlights are not working. i replaced the headlight but that did not fix the problem. there is no warning light to show the lights are out. this creates a dangerous driving situation that both front lights are out but it seems to be due to electrical or another problem. i have noticed many outbacks with one light out for the same model years. it seems to be a systemic problem unrelated to the bulbs. *jb | |||
