B: REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION
1. HEADLIGHT BULB
1) Disconnect the connector from inside of the engine
compartment.
2) Remove rubber cap.
3) Remove the light bulb retaining spring to remove the
bulb.
4) Replace the bulb with a new one and hook the spring.
5) Attach the rubber cap and connect the connector.
M6A0139
CAUTION:

Since the tungsten halogen bulb operates at high
temperature, dirt and oil on the bulb surface decreases
the bulb’s useful life. When replacing the bulb, hold the
flange portion and do not touch the glass portion.
M6A0140

Attach the rubber cap with letters TOP on the top so
that the drain hole will be on the lower side.

To keep water out, correctly engage the groove por-
tion of the rubber cap.
