Replacing a 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. Remove the left or right side
engine compartment cover from
the side you are working on by
carefully pulling the cover out (see
page 457 ).
If you are replacing the bulb on
the driver's side, remove the
battery cover (see page
2009 RL
491 ).
2. Remove the electrical connector
from the bulb by pushing on the
tab and pulling the connector
down.
3. Remove the bulb by turning it one-
quarter turn counterclockwise.
