BULBS
Replacing exterior bulbs
Check the operation of all the bulbs frequently.
Using the right bulbs
Replacement bulbs are specified in the chart below. Headlamp bulbs
must be marked with an authorized “D.O.T.” for North America and an
“E” for Europe to assure lamp performance, light brightness, light
pattern and safe visibility. The correct bulbs will not damage the lamp
assembly or void the lamp assembly warranty and will provide quality
bulb burn time.
