Servicing Your Villager Headlamp Bulb The headlamps on your vehicle use replaceable bulbs. When the lamp burns out, simply replace the bulb, rather than the whole lamp. WARNING 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. Do not remove the burned out bulb unless you can immediately replace it with a new one. If a bulb is removed for an extended period of time, contaminants may enter the headlamp and affect its performance. Removing the headlamp bulb 1. Make sure that the engine is off and the headlamp switch on the instrument panel is in the OFF position. 2. Remove the electrical connector from the bulb by pulling the connector away from the bulb assembly. 349
