BULB REPLACEMENT
General Information
• Before you replace a bulb, check the contacts to be
sure they are not oxidized.
• Replace the bulbs with the same type and wattage.
• After replacing a light bulb, always check the correct
orientation.
• Before replacing a bulb that is not functioning, check
that the fuse is intact.
NOTE: Lens fogging can occur under certain atmo-
spheric conditions. This will usually clear as atmo-
spheric conditions change to allow the condensation to
change back into a vapor. Turning the lamps on will
usually accelerate the clearing process.
