Headlight Bulbs
Step 1: Turn off the Headlights and Open the Hood
Park on a level surface and make sure your headlight switch and ignition switch are turned off. Open your hood.
|
Do It Right: Never turn on your headlights with the bulb removed. |
Step 2: Remove the Headlight Bulb from the Assembly
Remove the bulb from the headlight assembly by turning it counterclockwise and pulling it from the assembly. The wiring harness will still be attached.
Step 3: Remove the Bulb from the Socket
Work the headlight bulb carefully out of its socket.
Step 4: Push the New Headlight Bulb into the Socket
Push the new headlight bulb into place in the socket.
|
Do It Right: Remember when you handle your new headlight bulbs not to touch them with your bare hands. Finger oil or grease can cause hot spots on the glass that may make bulbs burn out prematurely. |
Step 5: Install the Bulb into the Headlight Assembly
Secure the bulb in the headlight assembly by turning it clockwise into place.
|
Do It Right: We recommend changing headlights in pairs, so repeat these steps on the other side. |
Step 6: Replace the Other Headlight
On the driver’s side, space is fairly limited, so it may be easier to press the tab on the electrical connector to detach it from the bulb housing before removing it from the assembly. Otherwise, the procedure is the same.
