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.
12. After the new bulb is installed, carefully let the bulb socket dangle
downward near the lamp housing (Passenger side only with ABS).
13. From the exterior wheel well area reach arm through splash shield
opening to install bulb socket with new bulb (Passenger side only with
ABS).
14. Install the new bulb socket into the lamp assembly by aligning the
indexing fingers, then rotate clockwise to locked position.
15. Install the protective cap/grill to the housing circular ring by pushing
and pressing it forward.
16. Re-apply pressure around the complete circular ring on the housing
to make sure the protective cap is completely seated.
17. Reinstall splash shield access panel with screw (Passenger side only
with ABS).
18. Reinstall the AirTube to the air filter assembly. (Driver’s side only).
19. Reinstall the vertical shield to the bolster. (Driver’s side only).
20. Turn the headlamps on and make sure they work properly. If the
headlamp was correctly aligned before you changed the bulb, you should
not need to align it again.
Replacing front parking lamp/turn signal bulbs
1. Make sure headlamp switch is in the OFF position, then open the
hood.

Replacing front side marker bulbs
1. Make sure the headlamp control
is in the OFF position.
2. Pry the lamp away from the
vehicle at the rear of lamp at the
wheel opening. (Rotate lamp from
the wheel opening away from the
vehicle), as the lamp separates from
the vehicle, slide the lamp towards
the wheel opening to disengage
lamp
3. Rotate the lamp clockwise while
holding the electrical connector in
place with your other hand. After
rotating the lamp 90 degrees
clockwise, pull and disengage the
wire harness and bulb from the
lamp.
4. With the bulb exposed, carefully remove the bulb from the socket by
grasping the bulb and pulling it away from the wire harness.
Replace with a new bulb, and reverse the removal steps to complete the
process.
Replacing tail/brake/turn signal/backup lamp bulbs
The tail/brake/turn signal and backup lamp bulbs are located in the tail
lamp assembly. Follow the same steps to replace either bulb.
1. Make sure the headlamp switch is in the OFF position and open the
trunk.
2. Lift out trunk floor carpeting panel to access a Luggage Scuff Plate
(Hard Molding) shingles and a Trunk Side Panel (dark grey, soft
wheelhouse side trim panel) at the lamp area.
3. Carefully pull/push the Trunk Side Panel (dark grey, soft wheelhouse
side trim panel) outboard to expose the lamp assembly. The most
effective point to grasp the Trunk Side Panel when pulling it out from
the Luggage Scuff Plate is at it’s bottom edge where that edge meets the
exposed sheet metal of the trunk floor.
Note:Do not allow the Trunk Side Panel to remain bent and untucked
from the Luggage Scuff Plate (hard molding) for a long period of time.
Doing so may result in permanent deformation.
