LOW BEAM HEADLIGHT BULB KEEP BLOWING OUT. REPLACED 4X IN THE PAST. TWICE LAST MONTH. THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN/ISSUE ESPECIALLY IF DRIVING AT NIGHT NOT TO MENTION THE COST AND HASSLE OF HAVING TO CHANGE OUT THE LAMPS SO OFTEN.
AT 87K MILES, DRIVER SIDE LOW BEAM WAS BURNED OUT, SINCE CHANGING THE BULB IS DONE VIA THE FENDER LINING, IT IS VERY DIFFICULT TO DO YOURSELF. BROUGHT IT TO THE DEALER WHO THEN FOUND THAT 3 OTHER BULBS WERE OUT. (INNER/OUTER MARKERS, D/S BULB). THE TECHNICIAN MENTIONED THAT THE 2014 LEGACY HAD A DESIGN ISSUE WHEREBY MULTIPLE LIGHTS CAN FAIL, ONCE THE LOW BEAM GOES. HE ALSO MENTIONED THE DESIGN WAS CORRECTED FOR 2015 MODEL YEAR. COST $94 TO CHANGE THE BULBS.
HEAD LIGHTS KEEP BURNING OUT ON THIS VEHICLE, BOTH DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE (LOW BEAM) HAVE BEEN REPLACED 3 TIMES SO FAR OVER A PERIOD OF 2 YEARS.
