CHANGING A BULB
Lamp Assembly Condensation
Exterior lamps are vented toaccommodate normal changes inpressure. Condensation can be a naturalby-product of this design. When moist airenters the lamp assembly through thevents, there is a possibility thatcondensation can occur when thetemperature is cold. When normal
condensation occurs, a thin film of mistcan form on the interior of the lens. Thethin mist eventually clears and exitsthrough the vents during normal operation.Clearing time may take as long as 48 hoursunder dry weather conditions.
Examples of acceptable condensation are:
•Presence of thin mist (no streaks, dripmarks or droplets).
•Fine mist covers less than 50% of thelens.
Examples of unacceptable moisture(usually caused by a lamp water leak) are:
•Water puddle inside the lamp.
•Large water droplets, drip marks orstreaks present on the interior of thelens.
Take your vehicle to a dealer for service ifany of the above conditions ofunacceptable moisture are present.
Replacing Headlamp Bulbs
WARNING: Make sure the bulbshave cooled down before removingthem. Failure to follow this warning couldresult in serious personal injury.
Note:Grasp the bulb by only its plastic baseand do not touch the glass. The oil from yourhand could cause the bulb to break the nexttime the headlamps are operated.
Note:If the bulb is accidentally touched,clean it with rubbing alcohol before use.
1. Make sure the headlamp switch is inthe off position, then open the hood.
2. Remove the headlamp. SeeRemoving a Headlamp (page 157).
3.Disconnect the electrical connector bysqueezing the release tab and pushingthe connector forward, then pulling itrearward.
