5. Remove the bulb retaining ring by
rotating it counterclockwise (when
viewed from the rear) to free it
from the bulb socket, and slide the
ring off the plastic base. Keep the
ring to retain the new bulb.

6. Without turning, remove the old
bulb from the lamp assembly by
gently pulling it straight back out of
the lamp assembly.

To install the new bulb:

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. With the flat side of the new bulb’s plastic base facing upward, insert
the glass end of the bulb into the lamp assembly. Turn the bulb left or
right to align the grooves in the plastic base with the tabs in the lamp
assembly. When the grooves are aligned, push the bulb into the lamp
assembly until the plastic base contacts the rear of the lamp assembly.

2. Install the bulb retaining ring over the plastic base until it contacts the
rear of the socket by rotating it clockwise until you feel a “stop.”

3. Connect the electrical connector into the rear of the plastic base until
it snaps, locking it into position.

4. Install the headlamp assembly with two retainers.

5. Install the radiator cover locking it in place with three knobs.

6. Turn the headlamps on and make sure they work properly. If the
headlamp was correctly aligned before you changed the bulb, you should
not need to align it again.
