Installing the headlamp bulb
1. With the flat side of the bulb’s plastic base
facing upward, insert the glass end of the bulb
into the socket. You may need to turn the bulb
left or right to line up the grooves in the plastic
base with the tabs in the socket. When the
grooves are aligned, push the bulb into the
socket until the plastic base contacts the rear of
the socket.
2. Slip the bulb retaining ring over the plastic base
until it contacts the rear of the socket. Lock
the ring into the socket by rotating it clockwise
until you feel a “stop.”
3. Push the electrical connector into the rear of
the plastic base until it snaps, locking it into
position.
4. Carefully position the headlamp assembly onto
the vehicle making sure the alignment pins are
inserted into the proper holes.
