Replacing bulbs
The replacement of bulbs in the various lighting units is shown on the following pages. Make sure when
installing bulbs, that the guide pin on the socket fits into its corresponding recess.
When installing bulbs, do not touch the glass with your fingers. The reason for this is that 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 activate the bulb failure warning light.
Replacing headlight bulbs
Working inside the engine compartment, separate the socket contact from the bulb holder (1). Unscrew
and remove the bulb holder retaining ring (2). Pull out the bulb holder assembly, and replace it as a unit
(3).
Installation is the reverse of removal.
Check headlight alignment.
