Replacing Headlight Bulbs

  1. Park the vehicle safely. (See Parking Safely in the SAFETY section.)

  2. Locate headlight housing under the front fender.

  3. Halogen light bulb contains gas under pressure. The bulb may shatter if the glass is scratched or dropped. Wear eye protection and handle bulb with care when replacing.

    Do not touch glass portion of new bulb with bare skin. Contact with oils or dirt will reduce bulb life. Handle bulb by the base or with a clean cloth or gloves.
