FORD 1999 Taurus - Manual (Page 259)

254
The alignment of your headlamps should be
checked if:
❑ oncoming motorists frequently signal you to turn
off your vehicle’s high beams when you do not
have the high beams on
❑ the headlamps do not seem to give you enough
light to see clearly at night
❑ the headlamp beams are pointed substantially
away from a position slightly down and to the
right
Headlamp Bulb
The low beam headlamps on your vehicle use a
“high intensity discharge” source. These lamps
operate at a high voltage. The bulb is NOT
replaceable. When the bulb is burned out, the lamp
assembly must be replaced by your dealer or a
qualified technician.
The high beam headlamps on your vehicle use
halogen bulbs. When the lamp burns out, simply
replace the bulb, rather than the whole lamp.
WARNING
Handle a halogen headlamp bulb
carefully and keep out of children’s
reach. Grasp the bulb only by its plastic
base and do not touch the glass. The oil
from your hand could cause the bulb to
break the next time the headlamps are
operated.
Do not remove the burned-out bulb unless you can
immediately replace it with a new one. If a bulb is
removed for an extended period of time,
contaminants may enter the headlamp housing and
affect its performance.
