BULBS
Replacing exterior bulbs
Check the operation of the following lamps frequently:
•Headlamps
•High-mount brakelamp
•Brakelamps
•Turn signal lamps
•License plate lamp
•Tail lamps
•Back-up lamps
Do not remove lamp bulbs unless they can be replaced immediately with
new ones. If a bulb is removed for an extended period of time,
contaminants may enter the lamp housings and affect lamp performance.
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 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.

Replacing headlamp bulbs
1. Make sure that the headlamp control is in the OFF position.
2. Open the hood.
3. Disconnect the electrical
connector from the bulb by pulling
rearward.
4. Remove bulb retainer ring by
turning it counterclockwise about
14
turn, then slide the ring off the
plastic base.
5. Without turning, carefully pull
bulb out of headlamp assembly.
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.
6. Insert the glass end of the new bulb into the headlamp assembly.
When the grooves in the plastic base are aligned, push the bulb into the
lamp assembly until the plastic base contacts the rear of the lamp
assembly.
7. Install bulb retaining ring over the plastic base and lock the ring into
the socket by turning it clockwise until you feel a “stop.”
8. Connect the electrical connector into the rear of the plastic base until
it “snaps.”
