How the heck do I get access to the high beam bulb to replace it in a Subaru lancaster H6 2000. I beleive the bulb is an H1 but would like to confirm before I get the bulbs - then obviously I need to get in to them to replace them. From what I can see there is a star screw with a pin in the middle underneath the bulb cover/holder that needs to be undone before the cover can be removed to access the bulbs. Is this correct - It is in a very dificult location to get to and is an odball screw type. I will link to a photo in next post

It is a security torx head, you can get the bits from a tool shop to undo them. Wouldn't of thought they'd be on a head light cover though, normally see them on AFM's, Radio's etc

I would not have not thought they would have a security screw on a light bulb cover either,
All the manuals I have in english are for the subaru outback rather then the lancaster - without the hid lights and say you can just turn the cover to undo. But I cannot turn the cover and at the bottom the cover seems to be joined directly to the bit of plastic that screw goes through - meaning the screw would need to be undone.
But there is very limited working space and the best way I have found to see whats going on is my cellphone camera

May have that sort of bolt head to deter the 'untrained' from opening the back of the headlamp and risking electric shock from the low-beam HID bulb. They run pretty high voltage I think. Dont stick your fingers in behind the headlight if powered on.

The head light is easu\y to pull off. 2 bolts on top and 2 in the front. May need some persuasion to clear the bumper.
