However, if you regularly carry heavy items in the cargo area, have the aiming readjusted by a dealer or another qualiied technician. The HB3 and H11 types are halogen bulbs. When replacing a bulb, handle it by its base, and protect the glass from contact with your skin or hard objects. If you touch the glass, clean it with denatured alcohol and a clean cloth.
