Replacing headlamp bulbs
Do not touch the glass of a halogen bulb.
1. Turn off the headlamps and open
the hood.
2. Pry up the two retainer pins until
they stop to release the headlamp
assembly from the vehicle, then pull
headlamp forward.
3. Disconnect the electrical
connector by pushing the center tab
and pulling down.
4. Remove the old bulb by turning
counterclockwise to unlock and pull
it out.
Handle a halogen headlamp bulb carefully and keep out of
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.
Reverse steps to reinstall bulb(s).
