LED Hi/Lo Beam Question

[AH64Medic]

The LED chips should be facing left and right, NOT up and down, and certainly not at an angle.

I was able to take them out and they had two set screws along with premarked screw holes that allowed me to rotate the bulb in 1/8 increments. Lined them up side to side and sure enough it works great. Thanks for the advice!

It sure did it on my wife’s 2012 Outback. I changed all the bulbs to LEDs and one day had all kinds of light come on. After digging through a Subaru Outback forum I found other outback owners had the same problem. Went back to stock and never had an issue again.

far as im aware supposedly a resistor of unknown rating will solve that problem

Weird thing is my check engine light came on, then the stabilitrak and traction control error went away and then a day later the check engine light went off.

Did you check the code for the check engine light?

The truck will automatically deactivate the TC/Stabilitrac when it detects a misfire to rule out those systems as a possible cause.

I have not checked it yet. I hope there is not an issue. It’s a 2012 with 49k miles and in like new condition. I’ll look online and finally order me one of those fancy obd readers.

You can get a Tech2 clone for about $250-$300.

They are a lot more pricey than a simple obd2 reader but there is no comparison in functionality.

So it turns out when I was putting the air box assembly back in I forgot to plug the sensor that connects to the intake duct. Plugged it back in and cleared the codes. No more problems.

This is a really helpful comment for me. I was having a random misfire code popping up along with the TC/Stabilitrak message on my '07. Replaced the steering position sensor and it didn't fix the problem. I tested the fuel pressure and it was way over spec on the high side, indicating a likely fuel pressure regulator (pump) problem.
