Lights Headlight Aiming The headlights were properly aimed when your vehicle was new. If you regularly carry heavy items in the cargo area or pull a trailer, readjustment may be required. Adjustments should be done by your dealer or other qualified technician. Replacing a Headlight/Daytime Running Light Bulb Your vehicle has halogen headlight bulbs. When replacing a bulb, 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. BULB CONNECTOR Halogen headlight bulbs get very hot when lit. Oil, perspiration, or a scratch on the glass can cause the bulb to overheat and shatter. The high beam headlight bulb, the low beam headlight bulb, and daytime running light bulb are replaced the same way. 1. Open the hood. If you need to change the headlight bulb on the driver's side, remove the front end of the air intake duct by pulling it out. CONTINUED Maintenance 2009 Pilot 487
