browsing the subaru website I came across this... Headlamp Upgrade Globes - Subaru Australia
anyone purchase these for their foz?

From what I can gather the Phillips Vision Plus or Narva +50 are the best for max light output for the same wattage as standard.
my 05XT runs H4 bulbs. HIDs started in the 06 shape I thinkI think the note about being NA for HID/Turbo is that AFAIK the turbo models in the current and previous Forester all had HID headlights - thus no bulb upgrade is availalable or really necessary for the low beam.
I'm interested to know this too.What globes are in the MY10 foz NA?
Theres an osram silver star in europe which is a great bulb. In the us theres the sylvania silverstar which are some of the worst most overpriced bulbs on the market.'twas a while, and another forester, ago now but the subaru globes were identical to the narva plus +50 s, I had both at different times on the '04 and the codes on the globes were the same - osram manufactured IIRC. They were the same numbers as "silver stars" too which is I think must be the american marketing name.
Of course the ones at the local repco or similar were cheaper than the dealer...
Now I'm doing a bit of thread dredge here, found while searching for HIR or HID for the '07 XT high beams.
yeah I change low beam high beam and fog light HID =) in 6000k'twas a while, and another forester, ago now but the subaru globes were identical to the narva plus +50 s, I had both at different times on the '04 and the codes on the globes were the same - osram manufactured IIRC.

I'm also curious as to what globes are in the 2010 diesel? I'm assuming its the same as the NA's as this is not the premium and therefore just has halogens.maybe i'll grab some VisionPlus at my next service. What globes are in the MY10 foz NA?
I totally agree. I tried all the others previously mentioned and actually measured the output with a photographic lightmeter. It didn't reveal the lumens, but it did show comparative results. The Xtremes were the best by far.Philips X-treme power is now the latest and greatest short of HIDs
You need to stay with standard-wattage 60/55 bulbs, the best ones on the market right now are Philips Xtreme Power (1895/1150 lumens).
buy in oz for around $80 a pair or ebay from the UK for $35
