The low beam headlight bulbs are a

High voltage can remain in the
circuit even with the light switch of f

this, you should not attempt to
examine or change a low beam
headlight bulb yourself . If a low
beam headlight bulb fails, take the
vehicle to your dealer to have it
replaced.Your vehicle has halogen headlight
bulbs. When replacing a bulb, handle
it by its base, and protect the glass

it with denatured alcohol and a clean
cloth.
