Maintenance and care Replacing headlamp bulbs 1. Make sure that the headlamps are turned OFF. 2. Open the hood and find the headlamp wiring socket and disconnect from the in-line connector. This will make it easier to change the bulb. 3. Remove the protective dust shield from the housing by turning the dust shield counterclockwise (when viewed from the rear). 4. Disconnect the electrical connector from the bulb by pulling it straight out. 5. Remove the bulb retaining ring by rotating it counterclockwise (when viewed from the rear). 6. Remove the old bulb from its socket by pulling it straight back out of the socket. Do not turn the bulb while removing it. 7. Replace the bulb by pushing a new one straight in with the bulb's plastic base facing upward. You 158
