gers do touch the bulb, clean it with an alcohol-moistened towel.

ering from the headlight

assembly.

2. Lift the rubber boot to

expose the bulb.

to release it from the

housing.

4. With the wire harness

attached to the bulb,

withdraw the bulb from the housing.

5. Grasp the bulb by its metal base and carefully separate the bulb

from the harness.
