BULB REPLACEMENT

High Intensity Discharge Headlights (HID) — If
Equipped

The headlights are a type of high voltage discharge tube.
High voltage can remain in the circuit even with the
headlight switch off and the key removed. Because of
this, you should not attempt to service a headlight bulb
yourself. If a headlight 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) headlights when the
headlight 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 Headlights (HID), when the headlights are turned
on, there is a blue hue to the lights. This diminishes and
becomes more white after approximately 10 seconds, as
the system charges.

Quad Headlights

1. Raise the hood to access the high or low beam bulbs at
the rear of the headlight housing.

2. Release the two tabs on the side of the connector and
remove the connector from the bulb.

3. Twist the headlight bulb and pull the bulb from
headlight housing.

4. Install the new headlight bulb and twist until locked
into the headlight housing.
