BULBS
Headlamp Condensation
The headlamps are vented to equalize pressure. When moist air enters
the headlamp(s) through the vents, there is a possibility that
condensation can occur. This condensation is normal and will clear
within 45 minutes of headlamp operation.
Replacing exterior bulbs
Check the operation of all the bulbs frequently.
Using the right bulbs
Replacement bulbs are specified in the chart below. Headlamp bulbs
must be marked with an authorized“D.O.T.”for North America to assure
lamp performance, light brightness and pattern and safe visibility. The
correct bulbs will not damage the lamp assembly or void the lamp
assembly warranty and will provide quality bulb burn time.

carefully aligning the plastic tabs in
the base of the bulb with the
openings in the plastic ring.
2. Rotate the bulb clockwise until it
stops.

plastic projections on each side of the lamp, pushing the retainers down
until they seat.
6. Replace the plastic radiator cover by inserting the edge of the cover
into the tongue and groove of the mating cover, and then rotating the
cover downward. Press firmly on the cover over each headlamp and in
the center of the cover to re-engage the snap in fasteners.
7. Turn the headlamps on and make sure they work properly. If the
headlamp was correctly aligned before you changed the bulb, you should
not need to align it again.
If a low beam headlamp bulb fails, take your vehicle to your
dealer or a qualified service technician to have it replaced.
