The Exterior Lighting problem

Notice significant rust or corrosion on my 2010 Subaru Legacy, especially on the subframe.

I purchased this vehicle 02/15/20 used, was not told about corrosion.   Read details...

The Fog Light Switch problem

The running lights on my Subaru Legacy do not illuminate high and far enough in front of the car. The service mgr said he would put hi-intensity bulbs in.
