Lights - Acura 2011 TL Owner's Manual

Headlight Aiming
The headlights were properly aimed
when your vehicle was new. If you
regularly carry heavy items in the
trunk, readjustment may be
required. Adjustments should be
done by your dealer or another
qualified technician.
Low Beam Headlight
Bulb Replacement
The low beam headlight bulbs are a
type of high voltage discharge tube.
High voltage can remain in the
circuit even with the light switch off
and the key removed (or the
vehicle is in VEHICLE OFF
(LOCK) mode on models with
keyless access system). Because of
this, you should not attempt to
examine or change a low beam
headlight bulb yourself. If a low
beam headlight bulb fails, take
the vehicle to your dealer to have
it replaced.
Replacing a High Beam
Headlight/Daytime Running
Light Bulb
Your vehicle has halogen high beam
headlight bulbs which are also used
for the daytime running light.
Handle it by its base and protect the
glass from contact with your skin or
hard objects. If you touch the glass,
clean it with denatured alcohol and a
clean cloth.
Halogen bulbs get very hot when lit. Oil,
perspiration, or a scratch on the glass
can cause the bulb to overheat and
shatter.
1. Open the hood.
2. Remove all engine compartment
covers (see page 508 ).

HOLDING CLIP
If you are replacing the bulb on
the driver's side, remove the three
holding clips with a flat-tip
screwdriver. Then remove the
upper part of the air intake duct by
pulling it straight up.
