2005 LINCOLN AVIATOR bulb

Replacing HID headlamp bulbs (if equipped)
The low beam headlamps on your vehicle use a“high intensity discharge”
source. These lamps operate at a high voltage. The bulb is NOT
replaceable. When the bulb is burned out, the bulb assembly must be
replaced by your dealer or a qualified technician.
Replacing front parking lamp/turn signal/sidemarker bulbs
To remove the headlamps from the vehicle and to change the front turn
signal lamp bulbs:
1. Make sure the headlamp switch is
in the OFF position, then open the
hood.
2.
Remove the plastic radiator cover
over the headlamps by grasping the
rear edge of the cover and pulling up
and toward you. This will disengage
the four snap-on attachments on the
cover. Set the cover aside.
3. Pry back the top corner of the
radiator cover to gain access to the
inner retaining pins. At the back of
the headlamp, pry up and remove
the two retainer pins to release the
headlamp assembly from the vehicle
and pull headlamp forward.
4. Rotate the bulb socket
counterclockwise and remove from
lamp assembly.
5. Carefully pull the bulb straight
out of socket and push in the new
bulb.
6. Install bulb socket in lamp
assembly by turning clockwise.
