Bulb Replacement
For the proper type of replacement bulb, see
Replacement Bulbs on page 5-58.
For any bulb changing procedure not listed in this

Your vehicle may have HID headlamps. After your
vehicle’s HID headlamp bulb has been replaced, you
may notice that the beam is a slightly different
shade than it was originally. This is normal.

Halogen bulbs have pressurized gas inside
and can burst if you drop or scratch the bulb.
You or others could be injured. Be sure to read
