2023 Subaru Impreza Headlights: purpose, care, and when to replace

Headlights are absolutely fitted to the 2023 Subaru Impreza and are fully relevant to its safe operation. Technical sources including the 2023 Subaru Impreza Owner’s Manual, Australian Design Rule (ADR) 13/00 for lighting installation, and New Zealand’s Land Transport Rule: Vehicle Lighting 2004 all require compliant headlamps for on-road use. So yes—this Impreza runs proper headlights, with variants equipped with halogen projector or LED units, and many models featuring auto on/off and Steering Responsive Headlights.

• Keep the lenses clean—road grime cuts light output. Use pH-neutral wash and a soft cloth.
• Look for haze, yellowing, cracks or moisture inside the lens. Persistent fogging usually needs a new seal or assembly.
• Confirm beam aim. If the nose has been loaded up or the ride height changed, the aim can wander. Many variants have auto or manual levelling
