Make the rear of your Subaru dramatically more useful after dark with the CAtuned Off-Road Rear Hatch & Cargo Light Upgrade. Designed for compatible Subaru Outback, Crosstrek, and Forester applications, this high-output light upgrade replaces the dim factory lighting with substantially brighter illumination for loading gear, finding equipment, working around the vehicle, or setting up camp at night.

Approximately 5x the Measured Brightness

In our approximate measurements, the factory Subaru light produced about 1,804 lux, while the CAtuned Off-Road upgrade produced about 8,866 lux—nearly 5x the measured brightness.
