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. 5. To complete installation, follow the removal procedure in reverse order. Note: To ensure a good seal, attach the bulb cap and partially tighten the screws. Check to ensure the gasket is fully centered. Finish tightening the screws in a criss-cross pattern (upper-left, lower right etc.) Replacing HID headlamp bulbs (if equipped) The low beam 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 dealer or a qualified technician. Replacing front parking lamp/turn signal/ sidemarker bulbs The park/turn lamp bulbs can be replaced without removing the headlamp assembly. 1. Make sure headlamp switch is in OFF position, then open the hood. 2. Remove the protective bulb cover by removing the three retaining bolts. 111 2005 Town Car (tow) Owners Guide (post-2002-fmt) USA_English (fus)
