2001 Subaru Forester Lighting problems

When turning the turn signals on, the headlights go off. This happens frequently, suddenly plunging you into darkness. The headlight covers are made of inferior plastic that clouds over with age, making it impossible to see at night. I had to have them replaced because it looked as if the headlights were not on when they were.

Headlight lenses are too clouded over to use safely. Regular exterior maintenance (washing, waxing where indicated) has never made a difference materials used were sub-standard & did not even outlive outlive the original mfr. Warranty. *Tr

Dt : on 6/7/05 the owner was driving and noticed that it was dark and that headlights were flickering on and off. Driver has to hold the switch all the way in to keep lights on the way home. Never noticed this before. Owner checked but couldnt find a recall, and has contacted the dealer and arranged for repairs. *Ak

Using the turn signal leverl causes the headlights to go out. Initally the headlights flickered briefly and stayed on, but they are now requiring some jiggling of the turn signal level to stay on. Also, the headlights go out in switching between high beam and low beam, using the same lever.I am contacting the dealer today.Below is listed the number of failures over the last couple weeks. I directed myself to this site, but you don't have that on your list.
