turn signal LINCOLN CONTINENTAL 2001 User Guide

To install the new bulb:
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.
1. Install the new bulb in lamp assembly by pushing straight in with the
bulb's plastic base facing upward. You may need to turn the bulb slightly
to align the grooves in the plastic base with the tabs in the lamp
assembly.
2. Install the bulb retaining ring over the plastic base and lock the ring
by rotating clockwise until it snaps into place.
3. Connect the electrical connector to the bulb.
4. Install the protective dust shield and lock the shield by rotating it
clockwise until it locks into position.
5. Carefully position the headlamp assembly onto the vehicle making sure
the alignment pins are inserted into the proper holes.
6. Hold the headlamp assembly snugly against the vehicle and push down
on the retainer pins to lock the lamp into place.
7. Before reinstalling the protective cover, make sure the cover tabs are
fully seated under the grille molding.
8. 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.
Replacing front parking lamp/turn signal/cornering lamp bulbs
1. Make sure the headlamp control is in the OFF position.
2. Open the hood and remove the protective cover from the top of the
headlamps by lifting up on the rear corners and release the velcro
attachments. Lift the cover and pull towards the windshield.
