ive had my Crosstrek for about a year now. I really can’t complain about the headlights. They are appreciably better than the lights on my previous IMPREZA. If the movement bothers you, you can turn them off in the settings.
I forgot about turning them OFF in Settings.
Probably easier said than done if you search how these electronically controlled single led headlights with steering are more complicated than fixed projector light housings. America lagged behind headlight lighting for around two decades before domestic vehicle manufacturers finally abandoned sealed glass round headlights while Europe adapted to HIDs and leds. Although questionable from standardized headlight illumination regulations, some here already made adjustments, aiming their low beams higher.......... The subjective judgement may not have been made yet by driving another vehicle at night in the opposite direction to see what opposing traffic sees to raised lighting as well as asking others if they're blinded with more glare from adjustments.
It's not just other drivers... it's that having a little scatter is good for seeing things like animals and pedestrians outside the main illumination zone.
Bought my ‘24 Crosstrek Sport 10/23. At the 6-month service, I showed them photos I took of my issue. At the time, I was told there was nothing they could do because the lights are “mechanical.” Also told me to contact SoA. A month later, the Dealer called me and said they have a guy coming to town to work on it and they kept it overnight. The guy vertically raised each light by one inch and it’s much better. Was listed as Warranty Work. If they hadn’t called me back in, I would have gone to NHTSA.
Yes, if I find it tomorrow morning, I’ll post the service done. I thought I had posted an update in April but maybe it was on another platform.
