2019–2024 Subaru Forester Headlight and Bulb Sizes

Which Subaru Forester model years does this cover?

These headlight bulbs specifications apply to every Subaru Forester built from 2019 through 2024 — the SK (5th generation), compact crossover suv (subaru global platform). Nothing in this specification changes between those model years. Pick your year for the engines it offered, what changed that year, and the problems recorded against it.

What changed during the 2019–2024 Subaru Forester

• 2019Generation launch on the Subaru Global Platform; direct-injected FB25D replaces the port-injected FB25; no turbo XT offered in the US; EyeSight standard
• 2022Wilderness trim introduced with raised suspension, all-terrain tires, and additional underbody protection
• 2024Final model year of this generation before the SL redesign

What headlight bulb does a 2019–2024 Subaru Forester use?

LED (Steering Responsive LED headlights standard on most trims) for the low beam and LED for the high beam. Trims with factory LED or HID projectors use a sealed assembly instead and are not bulb-serviceable.

Can you put LED bulbs in a 2019–2024 Subaru Forester?

Physically, yes, LED replacements exist in every common base. Whether they work well depends on the housing: a reflector housing designed around a halogen filament scatters LED output into oncoming traffic instead of down the road. Projector housings tolerate the swap far better. Some vehicles also flag the lower current draw as a bulb-out fault.
