Subaru Forester LED interior light kit

Which kit fits your Subaru Forester

Stock interior bulbs in a Forester are dim and yellow, and they tend to burn out one at a time. This kit swaps them for LEDs that last up to 50,000 hours, so you stop replacing bulbs every couple of years. You get a complete set for the cabin, with error-free Canbus operation and no wiring changes needed. The light is brighter and cleaner, which makes a real difference when you are digging for something in the back seat at night.

Installing it

Work with the car off and let bulbs cool if they were recently on. A plastic trim tool is included with the kit, and it helps you pop covers without scratching plastic or cracking brittle clips. If a new LED does not light, pull it and flip it 180 degrees in the socket.

  1. Pop the lens covers off. They clip in, and they come off with a firm pull. Start at one corner.
  2. Pull the old bulb out. Push the new LED in.
  3. Turn the light on. If it does not light up, pull it out and flip it 180 degrees. LEDs are polarity sensitive.
  4. Work through the remaining locations the same way, then re-seat any loose lens.
