Maintenance and care Do not remove lamp bulbs unless they will be replaced immediately. If a bulb is removed for an extended period of time, contaminants may enter the lamp housings and affect performance. Replacing headlamp bulbs To remove the headlamp bulb: 1. Make sure headlamp switch is in OFF position, then open the hood. Note size and location of retainer pins for installation. 2. At the back of the headlamp, pull two retainer pins up to release the headlamp assembly. 3. Pull headlamp assembly forward disengaging the lamp from the rear retainer to expose the back of the bulb. 4. Disconnect the electrical connector from the bulb by pulling rearward. 5. Remove the bulb retaining ring by rotating it counterclockwise (when viewed from the rear) to free it from the bulb socket, and slide the ring off the plastic base. Keep the ring to retain the new bulb. 6. Without turning, remove the old bulb from its socket by gently pulling it straight back out of the lamp assembly. 241
