BULB REPLACEMENT
Headlamp Condensation
The headlamps are vented to equalize pressure. When moist air enters
the headlamp(s) through the vents, there is a possibility that
condensation can occur. This condensation is normal and will clear
within 45 minutes of headlamp operation.
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 ªD.O.T.º for North America and an
ªEº for Europe to ensure lamp performance, light brightness and pattern
and safe visibility.
NOTE: The correct bulbs will not damage the lamp assembly or void the
lamp assembly warranty and will provide quality bulb burn time.

when handling or working around halogen bulbs.
WARNING: Children and Halogen Bulbs: Playing with a halogen
bulb is dangerous. Serious injuries could be caused by dropping
a halogen bulb or breaking in some other way. Always keep
halogen bulbs out of the reach of children.
NOTE: If the bulb is accidentally touched, it should be cleaned with
rubbing alcohol before being used. 1. Remove the bulb socket from the fog lamp by turning
