Bulb Replacement

For the proper type of replacement bulb, see
"Replacement Bulbs" in the Index.
For any bulb changing procedure not listed in this
section, contact your dealer's service department.
Halogen Bulbs
CAUTION:
Halogen bulbs have pressurized gas inside and
can burst if you drop or scratch the bulb. You or
others could be injured. Be sure to read and
follow the instructions on the bulb package.
Headlamps
Before replacing a headlamp bulb that does not light,
check to make sure that the wiring connector is securely
fastened to it.
See "Replacement Bulbs" in the Index to check the
type of headlamp bulb you need to use before you
begin to replace the headlamp bulb.
You must replace a headlamp bulb with one that is
exactly the same.
To replace a headlamp, do the following:
1. Open the headlamp door by turning the headlamps
on, then turning the switch back to the parking lamps
position. See "Headlamp Doors" in the Index for
more information.
2. Remove the bezel using a Phillips screwdriver on the
three main screws.
