MAINTENANCE
Lights
Poor lighting can result in reduced visibility when driving. Headlight
and taillight lenses become dirty during normal operation. Clean lights
frequently and replace burned out lamps promptly. Always make sure
lights are adjusted properly for best visibility.
Headlamp Replacement
When servicing a halogen lamp, don't touch the lamp with bare fingers.
Oil from your skin leaves a residue, causing a hot spot that will shorten
the life of the lamp.
1. Remove the wire harness connector from the back of the headlight.
CAUTION! Hot components can cause burns to skin. Allow lamps to cool
before servicing.
2. Grasp the bulb housing and turn it counterclockwise to remove the
bulb.
3. Apply dielectric grease to the light bulb socket before installing the
new bulb. Install the replacement bulb into the headlight housing
and rotate clockwise firmly.
Tip: The bulb must be positioned so the harness installs into the lamp at the bot-
tom.
4. Reinstall the connector to the back of the headlight.
