The low beam headlight bulbs are a
type of high voltage discharge tube.
High voltage can remain in the
circuit even with the light switch of f
and the key removed. Because of
this, you should not attempt to
examine or change a low beam
headlight bulb yourself . If a low
beam headlight bulb fails, take the
vehicle to your dealer to have it
replaced.Your vehicle has halogen headlight
bulbs. When replacing a bulb, handle
it by its base, and protect the glass

objects. If you touch the glass, clean
it with denatured alcohol and a clean
cloth.
Insert the new bulb into the hole,

the new bulb.
Turn on the headlights to test the
new bulb.
Remove the bulb by turning it
about one-quarter turn
