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. Do not operate this vehicle at night or in low
light conditions until the headlight is replaced. Always make sure lights are
adjusted properly for best visibility.
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.
HEADLIGHT REPLACEMENT
If a headlight fails to work properly, an expired lamp may need replacement.
Apply dielectric grease to the socket before installing the new lamp.
1. Hot components can cause burns to skin. Allow lamps to cool before
servicing.
2. Open the hood.
3. Unplug the headlamp from the wiring harness. Be sure to pull on the
connector, not on the wiring.
4. Turn the lamp counter-clockwise to remove it.
5. Install the new lamp.
TIP
Make sure the tab on the lamp locates properly in the housing.
6. Reinstall the harness assembly into the headlight assembly
