BULB REPLACEMENT

High Intensity Discharge Headlamps (HID) –
If Equipped

The headlamps are a type of high voltage discharge tube.
High voltage can remain in the circuit even with the
headlamp switch off and the key removed. Because of
this, you should not attempt to service a headlamp bulb
yourself. If a headlamp bulb fails, take your vehicle to
an authorized dealer for service.

WARNING!

A transient high tension occurs at the bulb sockets of
High Intensity Discharge (HID) headlamps when the
headlamp switch is turned ON. It may cause serious
electrical shock or electrocution if not serviced prop-
erly. See your authorized dealer for service.

NOTE:

On vehicles equipped with High Intensity Dis-

charge (HID) headlamps, when the headlamps are
turned on, there is a blue hue to the lamps. This dimin-
ishes and becomes more white after approximately
10 seconds, as the system charges.

Halogen Headlamps – If Equipped

1. Open the hood.

2. Turn the low or high beam bulb one–quarter turn
counterclockwise to remove from housing.

3. Disconnect the electrical connector and replace the
bulb.
