Replacing headlamp bulbs

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.

Note: If the bulb is accidentally touched, it should be cleaned with
rubbing alcohol before being used.

1. Make sure headlamp switch is in the off position, then open the hood.

2. Reach in behind the headlamp assembly to access the bulb sockets
and connectors.

3. Locate the high beam/low beam headlamp bulb electrical connector
and remove it by squeezing the locking tab and pulling it straight out.

4. Remove the bulb socket by
turning it counterclockwise and
pulling it straight out.

Install the new bulb(s) in reverse order.

Replacing HID headlamp bulbs (if equipped)

The headlamps on your vehicle use a “high intensity discharge” source.
These lamps operate at a high voltage. When the bulb is burned out, the
bulb and starter capsule assembly must be replaced by your authorized
dealer.
