BULB REPLACEMENT :
WARNING
•
The engine should not be running
when changing bulbs.
•
If the engine has been running just
prior to replacing bulbs in the head-
light housing, please keep in mind
that components in the engine
compartment will be hot.
Your vehicle's headlamps have
replaceable halogen bulbs. Headlamp
bulbs can be replaced without even
disturbing or removing the entire head-
lamp unit.
WARNING
It is dangerous if a halogen bulb
breaks. These bulbs contain pres-
surized gas and if broken, will ex-
plode causing serious injury by the
flying glass. Halogen bulbs can
break if the glass portion is touched
with bare hands, body oil could
cause the bulb to heat unevenly and

explode when lit. Never touch the
glass portion of the bulb with your
bare hands and always wear eye
protection when handling or working
around halogen bulbs. Always keep
halogen bulbs out of the reach of
children.
