Replacing Headlight Bulbs

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

  2. Locate headlight housing under the front fender.

  3. CAUTION: 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.

    IMPORTANT: 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.
