Main fuse
Main fuse box
The main fuses are designed to melt during an over-
load to prevent damage to the wiring harness and
electrical equipment. Check the main fuses if any elec-
trical component fails to operate (except the starter
motor) and other fuses are good. A melted main fuse
must be replaced. Use only replacements with the
same specified rating as the melted main fuse. If a
main fuse blows after it is replaced, have the electrical
system checked by your nearest SUBARU dealer.Installation of accessories
Always consult your SUBARU dealer before installing
fog lights or any other electrical equipment in your ve-
hicle. Such accessories may cause the electronic sys-
tem to malfunction if they are incorrectly installed or if
they are not suited for the vehicle.

Headlights (U.S. spec. WRX-STi)
High-intensity-discharge (HID) bulbs are used
for the low beams of the headlights on the U.S.
spec. WRX-STi. These HID bulbs use an ex-
tremely high voltage. To avoid the risk of an
electric shock and resulting serious injury, you
should not attempt to replace them. Neither
should you attempt to replace the high-beam
bulbs, remove/refit the headlight assemblies,
or remove any headlight-assembly compo-
nents. For replacement of the headlight bulbs
(low-beam and high-beam), removal and instal-
lation of the headlight assemblies, and removal
of headlight-assembly components, contact
your Subaru dealer.
! Headlight (Except U.S. spec. WRX-STi)
Halogen headlight bulbs become very hot while
in use. If you touch the bulb surface with bare
hands or greasy gloves, finger prints or grease on the bulb surface will develop into hot spots
and cause the bulb to break. If there are finger
prints or grease on the bulb surface, wipe them
away with a soft cloth moistened with alcohol.
NOTE "
If headlight aiming is required, consult your
SUBARU dealer for proper adjustment of the head-
light aim. " It may be difficult to replace the bulbs. Have
your SUBARU dealer replace the bulbs if neces-
sary. ! Low beam light bulbs
