2) Look at the beam angle gauge (vertical movement).
The bubble on the gauge should not deviate from the cen-
ter of the gauge.
B6M0337A
3) Look at the beam angle gauge (horizontal movement).
The center mark (the red line on the inner scale) should not
deviate from the black line on the outer case.
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.

*1: The mark,, indicates the symptom occurring only in cold temperatures.
*2: For items with the mark,, ensure the secure installation of crankshaft position sensor and camshaft position sensor. Replacement is
not necessary.
*3: Check fuel injector, fuel pressure regulator and fuel filter.
*4: Check ignitor, ignition coil and spark plug.
NOTE:
Malfunction of parts other than the above is also possible. Refer to 1. Engine Trouble in General [K100] in Repair Section 2-3 or 2-3b of
