Do not remove lamp bulbs unless they will be replaced immediately. If a
bulb is removed for an extended period of time, contaminants may enter
the lamp housings and affect performance.
Replacing headlamp bulbs
To remove the high or low beam headlamp bulb:
1. Make sure headlamp switch is in
OFF position.
2. Lift the hood, push and release
four tabs and remove the protective
cover from the headlamps.
3. Disconnect the electrical
connector from the bulb by pulling
rearward.
4. Remove the old bulb from the
lamp assembly by turning to unlock
and pulling it straight out of the
lamp assembly.
To install the new bulb:
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 glass. The oil from your hand could cause the bulb to
break the next time the headlamps are operated.
1. Install the new bulb in lamp assembly by pushing straight in and
turning to lock in position. You may need to turn the bulb slightly to
align the grooves in the plastic base with the tabs in the lamp assembly.
2. Connect the electrical connector to the bulb.

Replacing foglamp bulbs
The halogen bulb contains gas under pressure. The bulb may
shatter if the glass envelope is scratched or if the bulb is
dropped. Handle the bulb carefully. Grasp the bulb only by its
base. Avoid touching the glass envelope.
1. Disconnect the electrical
connector from the foglamp bulb.
2. Rotate the foglamp bulb
counterclockwise and remove from
the foglamp (the rear side of the
foglamp is shown).
3. Install the foglamp bulb in
foglamp by rotating clockwise.
