Bulb Replacement

High Intensity Discharge Headlamps (HID)
— If Equipped
The headlamps are a type of high voltage
discharge tube. High voltage can remain in
the circuit even with the headlamp switch off
and the key removed. Because of this, you
should not attempt to service a headlamp bulb
yourself. If a headlamp bulb fails, take your
vehicle to an authorized dealer for service.
WARNING!
A transient high voltage occurs at the bulb
sockets of High Intensity Discharge (HID)
headlamps when the headlamp switch is
turned ON. It may cause serious electrical
shock or electrocution if not serviced prop-
erly. See your authorized dealer for service.
NOTE:
On vehicles equipped with High Intensity
Discharge (HID) headlamps, when the head-
lamps are turned on, there is a blue hue to the
lamps. This diminishes and becomes more
white after approximately 10 seconds, as the
system charges.
Halogen Headlamps — If Equipped
1. Open the hood.
2. Turn the low or high beam bulb one–
quarter turn counterclockwise to remove
from housing.
3. Disconnect the electrical connector and
replace the bulb.
CAUTION!
Do not touch the new bulb with your fin-
gers. Oil contamination will severely
shorten bulb life. If the bulb comes in
contact with any oily surface, clean the
bulb with rubbing alcohol.
Front Turn Signal Lamp

2. Turn the turn signal bulb one–quarter turn
counterclockwise to remove from housing.

gers. Oil contamination will severely
shorten bulb life. If the bulb comes in
contact with any oily surface, clean the
bulb with rubbing alcohol.
Front Fog Lamps

shield and disconnect the wiring harness
from the fog lamp connector.
2. Firmly grasp the bulb by the two latches
and squeeze them together to unlock the
bulb from the back of the front fog lamp
housing.
3. Pull the bulb straight out from the keyed
opening in the housing.
CAUTION!
