Lights Replacing a Headlight/Daytime Running Light Bulb Your vehicle has halogen high beam headlight bulbs which are also used for the daytime running light. Handle it by its base and protect the glass from contact with your skin or hard objects. If you touch the glass, clean it with denatured alcohol and a clean cloth. 1. Remove the left or right side engine compartment cover from the side you are working on by carefully pulling the cover out (see page 451 ). If you are replacing the bulb on the driver's side, remove the battery cover (see page 485 ). BULB CONNECTOR Halogen bulbs get very hot when lit. Oil, perspiration, or a scratch on the glass can cause the bulb to overheat and shatter. 2. Remove the electrical connector from the bulb by pushing on the tab and pulling the connector down. 3. Remove the bulb by turning it onequarter turn counterclockwise. Maintenance CONTINUED 463 2010 RL
