MAINTENANCE
Headlamp Bulb Replacement
When servicing a halogen lamp (bulb), avoid touching the lamp with bare fingers. Oil from
your skin leaves a residue, causing a hot spot that will shorten the life of the lamp. If fingers
do touch a lamp, clean it with denatured alcohol.
Outer Headlamps
1. Pull the sealing boot away from the back of the bulbs and housing.
2. Press the looped end of the wire bulb retainer clip and swing the end toward the center of
the bulb to release it from the latch tab.
3. With the wire connector attached, pull the bulb out.
4. Disconnect the wire harness. Install the new bulb and secure the retainer.
5. Reinstall the sealing boot. Make sure it seals tightly around the bulb base and lens to
prevent condensation.
Center Headlamps (if equipped)
1. Disconnect the headlight wiring harness at the rear of the headlights.
