REPLACING EXTERIOR BULBS
Front Low/High Beam Headlamp — Models
With Halogen Headlamps
See below steps to replace:

1. Open the hood.

Headlamp Assembly Dust Cap Location

NOTE:Removal of the air cleaner filter housing may be
necessary prior to replacing bulbs in the headlamp
assembly on the driver side of the vehicle.
2. Remove the large dust cap from the headlamp housing by turning it counterclockwise.
3. Turn the bulb counterclockwise, and remove.
Headlamp Bulb Location

4. Disconnect the bulb from the socket assembly and install the replacement bulb.
5. Reinstall the bulb and socket assembly into the headlamp assembly, and then turn it
clockwise. 6. Reinstall the access cap making sure it is
seated into the housing and turn cap
clockwise to engage locking lugs. Visually, you
should be unable to see the blue O-ring gasket.
The access cap should be uniformly seated
and you should not be able to pull the access
cap off without turning it counterclockwise.
CAUTION!
Do not touch the new bulb with your fingers.
Oil contamination will severely shorten bulb life.
If the bulb comes in contact with any oily
surface, clean the bulb with rubbing alcohol.
CAUTION!

If the access cap is not installed correctly after
bulb replacement, the lamp becomes susceptible
to dust, condensation, and water intrusion. This
may ultimately lead to an inoperative lamp. If the
access cap cannot be installed correctly, please
return to an authorized dealer for proper repair or
access cap replacement if necessary.
