BULB REPLACEMENT

NOTE:

Lens fogging can occur under certain atmo-

spheric conditions. This will usually clear as atmospheric
conditions change to allow the condensation to change
back into a vapor. Turning the lamps on will usually
accelerate the clearing process.

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 voltage 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.
