The 2014-2020 Subaru Forester has a loyal following — and for good reason. But the factory halogen lighting leaves room for improvement. LED upgrades are plug-and-play, dramatically brighter, and give your Forester a clean, modern look. Here are the top lighting upgrades available.

LED Fog Light Bulbs
H11-size SLF and SL1 LED fog light bulbs are direct plug-and-play replacements for the factory halogens. The SLF delivers 780 lab-verified lumens with precision focus that matches the factory beam pattern — more usable light with no glare. Available in 6000K cool white and 3000K selective yellow. The SL1 steps up to 1,630 lab-verified lumens for maximum output. Both match the factory filament location for properly focused output.
Front Turn Signal LEDs
7440-size XP80 front turn signal LED bulbs deliver 510 lab-verified lumens — far more output than the factory bulbs. To prevent hyperflashing, a plug-and-play CF18 LED flasher module is recommended. For custom blinking and hazard patterns, the SmartTap LED flasher module is also available. Fits 2014-2018 Forester models.
Tail Light LEDs
7443-size HP11 tail light LED bulbs deliver 310 lumens of output — your Forester's running and brake lights will be significantly more visible to other drivers at night. Direct drop-in replacement for 2014-2016 Forester models.
Backup Light LEDs
921-size XP50 LED backup bulbs deliver 410 lab-verified lumens — dramatically more rear-facing visibility when reversing at night. Direct plug-and-play replacement with no wiring or modification. Installation takes minutes with basic hand tools.
Fitment: All 2014-2020 Subaru Forester models, all trim levels. All upgrades backed by a 3-year warranty.
