MAINTENANCE

Lights

Poor lighting can result in reduced visibility when driving. Headlight

and taillight lenses become dirty during normal operation. Clean head-

lights frequently and replace burned out headlamps promptly. Always

make sure lights are adjusted properly for best visibility.

Headlight Lamp Replacement

When servicing a halogen lamp, avoid touching the lamp with bare fin-

gers. Oil from your skin leaves a residue, causing a hot spot that will

shorten the life of the lamp. If fingers do touch a lamp, clean it with

denatured alcohol.
1. Remove the five (5)

headlight pod screws.

2. Lift the pod cover and

disconnect the speedom-

eter harnesses from the

speedometer.

CAUTION! Hot components

can cause burns to skin. Allow

lamps to cool before servicing.

3. Unplug the headlamp

from the wiring harness.

Be sure to pull on the

connector, not on the wir-

ing.

4. Turn the lamp counter-clockwise to remove it.
5. Install the new lamp. Make sure the tab on the lamp locates properly

in the housing.

6. Reassemble the pod.
