or void the lamp assembly warranty and will provide quality bulb burn
time.

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.
5. To complete installation, follow the removal procedure in reverse
order.
Note:To ensure a good seal, attach the bulb cap and partially tighten
the screws. Check to ensure the gasket is fully centered. Finish
tightening the screws in a criss-cross pattern (upper-left, lower right
etc.)
Replacing HID headlamp bulbs (if equipped)
The low beam headlamps on your vehicle use a “high intensity discharge”
source. These lamps operate at a high voltage. When the bulb is burned
out, the bulb and starter capsule assembly must be replaced by your
dealer or a qualified technician.
Replacing front parking lamp/turn signal/ sidemarker bulbs
The park/turn lamp bulbs can be replaced without removing the
headlamp assembly.
