After extensive design and development work, we're giving the Subaru Forester community its first look at how our new headlight design looks installed on an actual vehicle.
Our goal is to bring a modern, distinctive lighting design to the Forester SJ while complementing the vehicle's original body lines.
First Look: Installed on the Subaru Forester SJ
These first installation photos provide a closer look at the design, proportions, and overall appearance of our upcoming LED headlight assemblies.
While standalone product photos and design previews are useful, seeing the headlights installed on a real Subaru Forester SJ gives owners a much better understanding of how they complement the vehicle.
From the front profile to the finer details within the housing, our focus has been on creating a headlight design that looks purpose-built for the Forester SJ.
Designed for the 2014–2018 Subaru Forester SJ
The Subaru Forester SJ has developed a dedicated enthusiast community, with owners upgrading everything from suspension and wheels to exterior styling and lighting.
However, headlight design remains an important part of the vehicle's overall appearance.
At CraftC Performance, we believe aftermarket lighting should do more than simply fit into the factory mounting location.
It should look like it was designed for the vehicle from the beginning.
That's the philosophy behind our upcoming Forester SJ LED headlights.
Bringing a New Look to the Forester SJ
Our new LED headlight project focuses on combining modern visual styling with the recognizable character of the 2014–2018 Subaru Forester.
Rather than creating a generic aftermarket appearance, our team has worked toward a cohesive design that complements the Forester's front end.
The first on-car photos mark an exciting step in showing that vision to the Subaru community.
Additional product specifications, compatibility information, and lighting demonstrations will be shared as development progresses.
Developed by CraftC Performance
At CraftC Performance, our product development philosophy follows five important stages:
LISTEN → DESIGN → PROTOTYPE → VALIDATE → PRODUCE
We believe premium automotive lighting should combine thoughtful styling, vehicle-specific development, and reliable performance.
Our motto reflects that approach:
Lighting Designed for the Car, Not Just Made to Fit It.™
These first installation photos are part of that journey.
