MAINTENANCE
Lights
Poor lighting can result in loss of control or an accident. Lights become dirty
during normal operation. Wash the headlights and taillights frequently.
Hot components can cause burns to skin. Allow lamps to cool before servicing.
Headlamp Replacement
When servicing a halogen lamp, do
not 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. Hold the plastic
part of the lamp.
1. Remove the wire harness connector from the back of the headlight.
2. Grasp the bulb housing and turn it counterclockwise to remove the
bulb.
3. Apply dielectric grease to the light bulb socket before installing the
new bulb. Install the replacement bulb into the headlight housing
and rotate clockwise firmly.
Tip: The bulb must be positioned so the harness installs into the lamp at the bot-
tom.
4. Reinstall the connector to the back of the headlight.
