Turn the bulb counterclockwise and remove it by pulling the bulb straight out. 4. Disconnect the electrical connector. 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. Install the new bulb in reverse order, while also replacing the seal on the bulb retaining cover. The kits for replacement seals are available at Lincoln or Ford dealers. Replacing HID headlamp bulb (if equipped) The low beam headlamps on your vehicle use a "high intensity discharge" source. These lamps operate at a high voltage. The bulb is replaceable. When the bulb is burned out, the HID bulb must be replaced by your dealer or a qualified technician. 102 2005 Lincoln LS (dew) Owners Guide (post-2002-fmt) USA_English (fus)
