Replacing a Headlight Bulb
Your vehicle has halogen headlight
bulbs, one on each side. When
replacing a bulb, handle it by its steel
base and protect the glass from
contact with your skin or hard
objects. If you touch the glass, clean
it with denatured alcohol and a clean
cloth.
(For some types)
Except for vehicles with headlight
adjuster
(For some types)
The low beam headlight bulbs are a
type of high voltage discharge tube.
High voltage can remain in the
circuit even with the light switch off
and the key removed. Because of
this, you should not attempt to
examine or change a low beam
headlight bulb yourself. If a low
beam headlight bulb fails, take the
vehicle to your dealer to have it
replaced.
The headlights were properly aimed
when your vehicle was new. If you
regularly carry heavy items in the
luggage area or pull a trailer,
readjustment may be required.
Adjustment of the headlights should
be performed by your dealer or
other qualified technician.
Halogen headlight bulbs get very hot
when lit. Oil, perspiration, or a
scratch on the glass can cause the
bulb to overheat and shatter.
On vehicles with headlight adjuster
The vertical angle of the headlights
can be adjusted. For complete
information, see page 109 .
