the lamp housings and affect performance.
Replacing headlamp bulbs (aerodynamic)

children's reach. Grasp the bulb only by its plastic base and do
not touch the glass. The oil from your hand could cause the bulb to
break the next time the headlamps are operated.
To remove the headlamp bulb:
1. Make sure headlamp switch is in OFF position.
2. Open the hood.
3. Push each clip tab toward the
engine compartment and lift upward
to the stop position.
4. Remove the headlamp assembly.
