Bulb Replacement
NOTE:
Lens fogging can occur under certain atmo-
spheric conditions. This will usually clear as
atmospheric conditions change to allow the con-
densation to change back into a vapor. Turning
the lamps on will usually accelerate the clearing
process.
High Intensity Discharge Headlamps
(Bi-Xenon) — 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. Be-
cause of this, you should not attempt to
service a headlamp bulb yourself. If a head-
lamp bulb fails, take your vehicle to an au-
thorized 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 diminishes and becomes more white after
approximately 10 seconds, as the system
charges.
Bi-Halogen Headlamps — If Equipped
1. Turn the steering wheel to the left to replace
the bulb from the right hand lamp, or to the
right to replace the bulb from the left hand
lamp.
2. Turn the access cap located on the wheel
liner counterclockwise to remove from liner.
3. Locate the headlamp bulb access cap
through the opening in the wheel liner.
4. Firmly grasp the access cap and rotate coun-
terclockwise to remove lamp housing.
5. Firmly grasp the low/high beam bulb and
connector assembly and rotate counterclock-
wise to remove from housing.
6. Disconnect the electrical connector and then
connect the replacement bulb.
7. Install the bulb and connector assembly into
the headlamp housing and rotate clockwise
to lock in place.
8. Install the bulb access cap in the headlamp
housing and rotate clockwise to lock it in
place.
9. Install the access cap in the wheel liner and
rotate clockwise to lock it in place.
CAUTION!
Do not touch the new bulb with your fingers.
Oil contamination will severely shorten bulb
life. If the bulb comes in contact with an oily
surface, clean the bulb with rubbing alcohol.
Front Turn Signal
1. Open the hood.
2. Turn the turn signal bulb one–quarter turn
counterclockwise to remove from housing.
3. Disconnect the electrical connector and re-
place the bulb.
CAUTION!
Do not touch the new bulb with your fingers.
Oil contamination will severely shorten bulb
life. If the bulb comes in contact with an oily
surface, clean the bulb with rubbing alcohol.
