Bulbs

Subaru Forester Bulb Sizes

2022 Subaru Forester stores 29 bulb-chart rows across 21 lighting positions. Halogen low beam is H11. Halogen high beam is 9005. LED headlight equipment is stored as its own configuration, not as an extra bulb in the halogen lamps.

Stored halogen, HID, Bi-LED, and LED rows are alternative equipment when the chart lists more than one. A vehicle uses one lighting system. Verify the lamps installed before ordering. A halogen bulb is not the replacement for an LED assembly, and an LED conversion is not shown as the OEM halogen bulb.

Questions

What is the Subaru Forester low-beam bulb?

2022 Subaru Forester stores H11 for the halogen low beam. Choose the LED headlight configuration separately when the chart lists one. These are not installed together.

What is the Subaru Forester high-beam bulb?

2022 stores 9005 for the halogen high beam.

What fog light bulb does the Subaru Forester use?

2022 stores H11 LED, H16 LED for fog lights.

What turn-signal bulb does the Subaru Forester use?

Halogen-configuration turn signals in 2022 store 7444NA, 7440A. An LED-headlight configuration can list LED instead of these bulbs.

What brake-light bulb does the Subaru Forester use?

Halogen-configuration brake lights in 2022 store LED.

Does the Subaru Forester have both halogen and LED headlights?

The chart stores halogen-headlight positions and LED-headlight positions as alternative equipment. A single truck uses one of those systems. Verify the lamps on the vehicle before ordering.

What does an LED record mean?

A stored part of LED means that configuration is recorded as an LED assembly. It is not a replaceable halogen bulb, and this page does not sell an LED conversion as the OEM bulb for that assembly.

Can I substitute a nearby bulb number?

No. H11 and H11B stay different. 9005 and 9006 stay different. This page matches the stored designation and does not swap in another bulb to fill the product list.

Does a catalog match guarantee the bulb fits?

A designation match means the product is filed under that bulb number and technology. It does not prove the lamp, socket, or vehicle configuration. Check the bulb in the housing before ordering.

How do I verify the replacement?

Read the number on the bulb or the housing, confirm whether the headlights are halogen, HID, or LED, and match that designation. Position names that say “with halogen headlights” or “with LED headlights” are separate configurations.

Does the Subaru Forester bulb chart change by year?
