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 fingers.
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 speedometer harnesses from
the speedometer.
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 wiring.
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.
