Subaru Outback owners have reported 1 problem related to high/low beam switch (under the exterior lighting category). The most recently reported issues are listed below. Also please check out the statistics and reliability analysis of Subaru Outback based on all problems reported for the Outback.
There was a defect in the lighting and the adjustment caused low beams to create a glare to the oncoming traffic. The high and low beam filaments were in one bulb and the bulb was surrounded by a collar which may had contributed to the problem. When the low beams were on or when driving at night in rural areas, it looked as if a dark shade was pulled down making the lighted area only about 6 feet off of the ground throughout 180 degrees horizontally.
