MAINTENANCE
Lights
Avoid touching a halogen bulb with bare fingers. Oil from skin leaves a
residue, causing a hot spot that will shorten the life of the lamp. If fin-
gers do touch the bulb, clean it with an alcohol-moistened towel.
Headlight Bulb Replacement
1. Pinch the ends of the spring (1)
together and lift until it releases
from the spring retainer.
2. Lift the spring carefully around
the wire harness (2) and flip it to
the outside of the housing.
3. With the wire harness attached
to the bulb (3), withdraw the
bulb from the housing.
4. Grasp the bulb by its metal base
and carefully separate the bulb from the harness.
5. Hold the new bulb by its metal base and install it into the wire har-
ness.
6. Insert the bulb into the housing. Carefully flip the spring back into
the housing, placing it around the wire harness.
7. Squeeze the spring together until it's over the spring retainer and
release.
8. Verify headlight aim. See page 78.
