Using the right bulbs
Replacement bulbs are specified in the chart below. Headlamp bulbs

lamp performance, light brightness and 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.

break the next time the headlamps are operated.

foglamp by turning
counterclockwise.
2. Disconnect the electrical
connector from the foglamp bulb.
3. Connect the new foglamp bulb to the electrical connector.
