3. Remove the protective dust cap
from the housing by turning
counterclockwise (when viewed
from the rear).
4. Disconnect the electrical
connector from the bulb by pulling
rearward.
5. Remove the bulb retaining ring by
rotating it counterclockwise.
6. Remove the old bulb from the lamp assembly by 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 with
the flat surface of the bulb’s plastic
base facing upward. You may need
to turn the bulb slightly to align the
grooves in the plastic base with the
tabs in the lamp assembly.
2. Install the bulb retaining ring over
the plastic base and lock the ring by
rotating clockwise until it snaps into place.
3. Connect the electrical connector to the bulb.
4. Install the protective dust cap and lock by rotating the cap clockwise
until it locks into position.
5. Install the headlamp on vehicle by aligning the lamp on the vehicle,
push rearward to fully seat the lamp assembly then insert and push the
two retainer pins down.
6. Turn the headlamps on and make sure they work properly. If the
headlamp was correctly aligned before you changed the bulb, you should
not need to align it again.
