Lights Replacing headlamp bulbs To remove the headlamps from the vehicle to change the HIGH BEAM bulb: 1. Make sure the headlamp switch is in the OFF position, then open the hood. 2. Remove the plastic radiator cover over the headlamps by grasping the rear edge of the cover and pulling up and toward you. This will disengage the four snap-on attachments of the cover. Set the cover aside. 3. Pry back the top corner of the radiator cover to gain access to the inner retaining pins. At the back of the headlamp, pry up and remove the two retainer pins to release the headlamp assembly from the vehicle and pull headlamp forward. 4. Disconnect the electrical connector by pulling downward. 5. Rotate the high beam bulb counterclockwise until the tabs on the bulb line up with the ring, and the bulb can be removed by pulling rearward. To install the new bulb: 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. 113 2005 Aviator (231) Owners Guide (post-2002-fmt) USA (fus)
