Replacing bulbs

Make sure when installing bulbs, that the guide pin on the socket fits into its corresponding recess.
When installing Halogen bulbs, do not touch the glass with your fingers because grease, oil or any other
impurities can be carbonized onto the bulb and damage the reflector. Use bulbs of correct type and
voltage. Failure to do so could cause the bulb failure warning light to activate.
NOTE: Turn the ignition and the light switch off before replacing any bulbs.
