Looking for some info on which is the fuse for the odometer/tripometer, speedometer, & tachometer? The owner's manuel I have does not address this question. The owner's manuel does say that the tripometer will lose it's reading if the battery of fuse is lifted.
 
Thanks for any help,

#136 of 139 changing the headlight to xenon ones by amkmeco90

Hey guys. I have a 2010 forester and and I loved it so much. my question is that I want to replace the headlights for xenon ones (HID) to look more sporty like the BMW headlights. Has anyone any experience about that?

I think (don't quote me) that Foresters in Canada offer HIDs, so maybe call a dealer there.

Hi Kane1.
 
Im seeking an answer to the same problem for a 2001 Forester. Its not the parking light switch though, unless there is something wrong with the switch itself.
 
For almost a week now, the exterior lights will not turn off when the car is off. I've had to disconnect the negative battery cable when I park the car for the night to get the lights to go out. Any ideas?

Just the running lights and not the headlights? It most likely is the parking switch on top of the steering column. If that is not making a difference, perhaps it has gone bad by some unfortunate fluke? Better that than a worn wire in some inaccessible body panel some where, but still obnoxious nonetheless.
