which uses a replaceable headlight (halogen)

inside the halogen bulb. The bulb may
break if the glass envelope is scratched
or the bulb is dropped.
Hold the plastic base when handling the
bulb. Never touch the glass envelope.
Replacing the headlight bulb1. Disconnect the battery negative cable.
2. Disconnect the electrical connector from
the rear end of the bulb.
3. Turn the bulb retaining ring counterclock-
wise until it is free from the headlight reflec-
tor, then remove it.
4. Remove the headlight bulb. Do not shake
or rotate the bulb when removing it.
5. Insert the bulb into the headlight reflector
with the flat side of the plastic base facing
upward.
6. Install the bulb retaining ring and turn it
clockwise until it stops.
7. Push the electrical connector into the bulb
plastic base until it snaps and stops.
