Headlight Bulbs
NOTICE Halogen bulbs get very hot when lit. Oil, perspiration, or a scratch on the glass can cause the bulb to overheat and shatter.
NOTICE The headlight aim is set by the factory, and typically does not need to be adjusted. However, if you regularly carry heavy items in the cargo area, have the aiming readjusted by a dealer or another qualiied technician. The HB3 and H11 types are halogen bulbs. When replacing a bulb, handle it by its base, and protect the glass from contact with your skin or hard objects. If you touch the glass, clean it with denatured alcohol and a clean cloth. The exterior lights’ inside lenses (headlights, brake lights, etc.) may fog temporarily after a vehicle wash or while driving in the rain. This does not impact the exterior light function.However, if you see a large amount of water or ice accumulated inside the lenses, have your vehicle inspected by a dealer.
