Bulb Replacement For the proper type of replacement bulb, see "Replacement Bulbs" in the Index. For any bulb changing procedure not listed in this section, contact your dealer's service department. You must replace a headlamp bulb with one that is exactly the same. To replace a headlamp, do the following: 1. Open the headlamp door by turning the headlamps on, then turning the switch back to the parking lamps position. See "Headlamp Doors" in the Index for more information. Halogen Bulbs CAUTION: Halogen bulbs have pressurized gas inside and can burst if you drop or scratch the bulb. You or others could be injured. Be sure to read and follow the instructions on the bulb package. Headlamps Before replacing a headlamp bulb that does not light, check to make sure that the wiring connector is securely fastened to it. See "Replacement Bulbs" in the Index to check the type of headlamp bulb you need to use before you begin to replace the headlamp bulb. 2. Remove the bezel using a Phillips screwdriver on the three main screws. 6-37
