2) Remove the air intake duct (when removing the
headlight RH). Air Intake Duct.>
3) Remove the front grille and headlight side cover.

4) Disconnect the headlight bulb connector.
5) Remove the three bolts, and disconnect the con-
nectors, and then detach the headlight assembly.
B: INSTALLATION
Install in the reverse order of removal.
C: DISASSEMBLY
CAUTION:
 Do not touch the bulb glass portion.
 Do not touch inside the lens (extension por-
tion) or reflector portion.
 Replace the packing with a new one.
1) Remove the headlight assembly. REMOVAL, Headlight Assembly.>2) Remove the five screws.
3) Remove the two clips.
4) Remove the rubber cap, and then detach the
bulb.
5) Heat the seal portion using a dryer through the
bulb mounting hole.
CAUTION:
Avoid heating one specific point of the seal por-
tion and heating the headlight assembly to
120°C (248°F) or more.
6) Unhook the hook, and then take the lens off the
headlight assembly.

7) Remove the packing (A) from seal groove.
CAUTION:
Completely remove the packing not to leave
any chips behind.
D: ASSEMBLY
1) Cut the tip of packing (A) at an angle of 45°.
2) With the cut end facing upward, insert the pack-
ing (A) into groove around seal.
CAUTION:
 If the packing protrudes, slowly take it off the
groove.
 Do not stretch the packing. If the packing is
stretched, seal fails.
3) After making a round of the seal, cut its tip at an
angle of 45°, with its length 10 mm (0.39 in) longer
than the circumference of seal so that the tip over-
laps the other. Then, press it onto the seal, using a
screwdriver.4) Match the positions of the lens and headlight as-
sembly, and then insert the lens into headlight as-
sembly.
5) Secure the hook, and then install the clip and
screw.
6) Put the seal portion of headlight assembly into
the water and check that water does not enter in-
side the headlight.
CAUTION:
Be sure that water does not enter inside the
headlight through the bulb socket or ventilation
hole.
E: ADJUSTMENT
1. HEADLIGHT AIMING
CAUTION:
Turn off the light before adjusting headlight
aiming. If the light is necessary to check aim-
ing, do not turn on for more than two minutes.
NOTE:
Before checking the headlight aiming, be sure of
the following:
 The area around the headlight has not sustained
any accident, damage or other type of deformation.
 Vehicle is parked on a level surface.
 The inflation pressure of tires is correct.
 Vehicle’s fuel tank is fully charged.
1) Bounce the vehicle several times to normalize
the suspension.
2) Make certain that someone is seated in the driv-
er’s seat.
3) Turn the headlights on and then adjust the low
beam pattern by following positions on the screen.
NOTE:
 Set the headlight beam leveler switch to “0” posi-
tion.
 Adjust the vertical aim (A) first, then horizontal
aim (B).(A) Packing

Headlight Bulb
12.Headlight Bulb
A: REMOVAL
CAUTION:
 Because the halogen bulb operates at a high
temperature, dirt and oil on the bulb surface re-
duces the bulb’s service life. Hold the flange
portion when replacing the bulb. Never touch
the glass portion.
 Do not leave the headlight without a bulb for
a long time. Dust, moisture, etc. entering the
headlight may affect its performance.
1) Disconnect the ground cable from battery.
2) Remove the air intake duct (when removing the
headlight RH).
3) Disconnect the harness connector.
4) Remove the rubber cap.
5) Remove the light bulb retaining spring to remove
the bulb.
B: INSTALLATION
Install in the reverse order of removal.
CAUTION:
Attach the rubber cap with letters TOP on the
top so the drain hole will be on the lower side.
C: INSPECTION
1) Visually check the bulb for blow out.
2) Check the bulb specification. SPECIFICATION, General Description.>
3) If NG, replace the bulb with a new one.
