EXTERIOR
BULBS
Replacing exterior bulbs
Check the operation of the
following lamps frequently:
• Headlamps
• Tail lamps
• Brakelamps
• HighĆmounted brakelamp
• Turn signals
• Backup lamps
• License plate lamp
Do not remove lamp bulbs unless
they will be replaced immediately.
If a bulb is removed for an
extended period of time,
contaminants may enter the lamp
housings and affect performance.
Replacing headlamp bulbs
Handle a halogen 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 that the
headlamps are operated.
