Spent Saturday morning attempting to replace Legacy headlight. Tried the "easy route" from top by moving battery out of the way. Not possible due to limited access. Sad to say had to spend 1 hour after first attempt by doing it the semi official way. I jacked front side of vehicle and removed wheel to get access to the wheel well cover and remove 9 push clips. Then using my best contortion skills
replaced the bulb and spent another 15min lining up protective seal cover. This has to be accomplished all by feel due to limited space.
Can't believe the difficulty required for what should be a simple task. Seems like the light access was an afterthought. Wife older Forester is so much easier.
On an easier note added my new Ezdrain Fumoto valve and got to test my new oil filter remover tool with success. Sadly this task was much easier than replacing my light bulb.
