Replacing headlamp bulbs

Handle a halogen headlamp bulb carefully
and keep out of children’s reach. Grasp the

bulb only by its plastic base and do not touch the

to break the next time the headlamps are
operated.

To remove the headlamp bulb:

1. Make sure headlamp switch is in OFF position,
then open the hood.

2. At the back of the
headlamp, pull two
retainer pins up to
release the headlamp
assembly.

3. Pull headlamp
assembly forward
disengaging the lamp
from the rear hidden snap retainers to expose the
back of the bulb.

4. Release clip and
disconnect the
electrical connector
from the bulb.

5. Remove the bulb
retaining ring by
rotating it
counterclockwise
(when viewed from the
rear) about

1

4

turn to

free it from the bulb socket, and slide the ring off
the plastic base. Keep the ring to retain the new
bulb.

6. Without turning, remove the old bulb from the
lamp assembly by gently pulling it straight out of the
lamp assembly.
