Lights 5. Remove the old headlamp bulb by rotating it counterclockwise and pull it out. 6. To install, reverse the removal procedure. (Re-aiming the headlamps may be necessary. For additional information refer to the headlamp aiming section in this chapter.) 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. Note: If the bulb is accidentally touched, it should be cleaned with rubbing alcohol before being used. Note: The headlamp bulb should not be removed from the headlamp until just before a replacement bulb is installed. Removing the bulb for an extended period of time may affect headlamp bulb performance. Contaminants may enter the headlamp where they can settle on the lens and reflector. Never turn the headlamps on with the bulb removed. Replacing front parking/cornering/turn signal lamp bulbs The park/turn/cornering 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 three pin type retainers and the radiator shield. 3. Loosen the parking lamp attachments, on the back side of the lamp, and pull the lamp assembly forward. 48 2006 Grand Marquis (grn) Owners Guide (post-2002-fmt) USA (fus)
