Replacing a Headlight Bulb

1. Make sure the headlight switch is off.

2. Lift the hood and find the bulb in the 

rear of the headlight body.

3. 2.5-liter engine

Remove the bolts and the coolant 
reservoir.

4. Detach the electrical connector from 

the bulb by squeezing the tabs and 
pulling it to the rear.

Handling Halogen Bulbs:
When a halogen bulb breaks, it is 
dangerous. These bulbs contain 
pressurized gas. If one is broken, it 
will explode and serious injuries 
could be caused by the flying glass.
If the glass portion is touched with 
bare hands, body oil could cause the 
bulb to overheat and explode when lit. 
Never touch the glass portion of the 
bulb with your bare hands and always 
wear eye protection when handling or 
working around halogen bulbs.

Children and Halogen Bulbs:
Playing with a halogen bulb is 
dangerous. Serious injuries could be 
caused by dropping a halogen bulb or 
breaking it some other way.
Always keep halogen bulbs out of the 
reach of children.

WARNING

Do not touch the glass surface
