Replacing headlamp bulbs
The high beam and low beam bulbs are located in the headlamp
assembly. Follow the same steps to replace either bulb:
To remove the headlamp bulb:
1. Make sure headlamp switch is in
OFF position, then open the hood.
2. At the back of the headlamp, pry
up the two retainer pins until they
stop to release the headlamp
assembly from the vehicle and pull
headlamp forward.
3. Disconnect the electrical
connector from the bulb by pushing
the center tab and pulling
downward.
4. Remove the old bulb from the
lamp assembly by turning to unlock
and pulling it straight out of the
lamp assembly.
To install the new bulb:
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.
