Top LED Lighting Upgrades for the 2014-2020 Subaru Forester

The Subaru Forester, also known as “Fozzies” by their adoring owners are easily one of the most beloved Subarus of all time. Despite being less sport-oriented than the popular WRX and WRX STi, the 2014-2020 Subaru Forester has a cult-like following. 

And that’s no surprise! The Forester combines all wheel drive and either a 2.0 or 2.5 modern 4-cylinder into a practical 5-door package. That said, “Fozzie” owners know there’s room for improvement, as evidenced by tens of thousands of modified Foresters all across the country. 

But, where to begin!? Just like the 2014-2020 Forester, LED lighting upgrades are an awesome mix of form and function. By upgrading your Subaru Forester’s stock halogen bulbs with plug-and-play LED replacements, you’ll have more usable light output and clean, 21st-century look. 

Keep reading below for the top LED lighting upgrades for the Subaru Forester!

 


Diode Dynamics LED Fog Light Bulbs

From the trail to the turnpike, our H11-size SLF and SL1 LED Fog Light Bulbs provide dramatically more usable light than the 2014-2020 Subaru Forester’s stock fog lights. And don’t be fooled by high “lumen ratings” seen on generic LED bulbs from Amazon or eBay. Our SL1 and SLF LED Fog Light Bulbs are 100% designed and manufactured right here in St. Louis for maximum reliability. Plus, for the 2014-2020 Forester, our LED Fog Lights are a drop-in upgrade!

SLF LED Fog Light Bulbs

SLF: Our H11-size SLF LED Fog Lights provide 780 lab-proven lumens. While there are other companies that claim to have fog light bulbs with a brighter output, they don't take into account the importance of focus. The SLF was engineered and extensively tested to mimic the focal point of your Forester's halogen fog lights, providing more usable light output, without causing any glare.

To get the look you’re after, our H11-size SLF LED Fog Light Bulbs are available in a fresh 6000K cool white, and a truly unique 3000K pure yellow. 

SL1 LED Fog Light Bulbs

SL1: Available in a 6000K cool white color, our H11-size SL1 LED Fog Lights provide a whopping 1630 tested lumens, making them one of the brightest LED fog lights available for the Forester! Much like the SLF, the SL1 matches the factory halogen bulb's filament location, combining focused output with a huge increase in brightness. The result is significantly more visibility at night!
 
There’s no shortage of imported LED fog lights claiming to be the brightest. However, most of these bulbs haven’t actually proven how bright they are! To ensure accuracy, we’ve verified the SLF and SL1's light output in our St. Louis laboratory. Because our bulb's light output is proven and not a crude estimation, we can confidently say they are some of the brightest LED fog lights on the market!
 

Upgrade your Subaru Forester's fog lights in less than 20 minutes! 


Diode Dynamics Front Turn Signal LED Bulbs

If you’re already upgrading your 2014-2018 Subaru Forester’s factory headlights to LED, we recommend replacing your stock front turn signals with our 7440-size XP80 LED replacement bulbs. Packing 510 verified lumens, the XP80 LED Front Turn Signal Bulb provides far more light output than anything offered from the factory! 

To prevent hyperflashing or hyperblinking, we also recommend checking out our plug-and-play CF18 LED Flasher Module. This inexpensive, easily installed module prevents hyperblinking that can occur after installing front turn signal LED bulbs.

Diode Dynamics Tail Light LED Bulbs

Your 2014-2016 Subaru Forester’s factory tail light bulbs are no match for the performance of modern LED replacements. By installing our LED Tail Light Bulbs, your Forester’s running and brake lights will be FAR more visible to other drivers at night. 

Diode Dynamics 7443-size HP11 LED Tail Light Bulbs drop right into place of your 2014-2016 Subaru Forester’s stock lights. Unlike cheaper options, we engineer the HP11 with the highest quality components and verify it’s light output (310 lumens) in our St. Louis laboratory. As with all Diode Dynamics LED lighting, our HP11 LED Tail Light Bulbs are backed by a 3-year warranty.
