Do not remove lamp bulbs unless they can be replaced immediately with
new ones. If a bulb is removed for an extended period of time,
contaminants may enter the lamp housings and affect lamp performance.
Replacing headlamp bulbs
1. Make sure that the headlamp control is in the OFF position.
2. Open the hood.
3. If equipped, remove headlamp
covers.
4. At the back of the headlamp, pull
clips rearward and up (about
inch) to release the headlamp
assembly.
5. Slide headlamp assembly forward
and off of guide ribs to expose the
back of the bulb and wiring
connector.
6. Disconnect the electrical
connector from the bulb by pulling
rearward.
7. Remove bulb retainer ring by
turning it counterclockwise, then
slide the ring off the plastic base.
8. Without turning, carefully pull
bulb assembly out of headlamp
assembly and replace.
Handle a halogen headlamp bulb carefully and keep out of
children's reach. Grasp the bulb only by its plastic base and do
not touch the glass. The oil from your hand could cause the bulb to
break the next time the headlamps are operated.
