Parts for your 2022 Subaru Impreza-Tail lights

2022 Subaru Impreza tail-lights: purpose, care and replacement

Technical sources confirm tail-lights are standard equipment on the 2022 Subaru Impreza. The 2022 Subaru Impreza Owner’s Manual (rear combination light section), Subaru’s electronic parts catalogue for MY22 Impreza, and road-legal requirements such as Australia’s ADR 13/00 (installation of lighting) and New Zealand’s Land Transport Rule: Vehicle Lighting 2004 all specify rear position lamps/tail-lights for this model. So tail-lights are fitted, relevant, and essential.

On the 2022 Impreza, the tail-lights live within the rear combination lamp assemblies and make the car visible from behind at night and in poor weather. They complement the stop lamps and indicators, signalling clearly to following traffic. Beyond safety, they’re also a compliance item for rego and Warrant of Fitness checks across Australia and New Zealand.

Servicing is straightforward. Many trims use replaceable bulbs in the rear combination housing, while others use integrated LED assemblies. Either way, a regular walk-around at dusk helps. Check both tail-lights glow evenly with the park/headlights on, confirm the brake lights brighten when the pedal’s pressed, and make sure indicators and reverse lights work too. If illumination looks dim, red lens is cracked, or there’s moisture pooling inside, it’s time for attention.

For bulb-equipped versions, access is usually via the boot trim panel: open the service cover, twist the bulb holder anticlockwise, swap in the correct spec bulb, avoid touching the glass with bare fingers, and reseat the rubber grommet to keep water out. Test before closing everything up. For LED-equipped trims, the tail function is part of a sealed unit
