MAINTENANCE
Lights
When servicing a halogen lamp, don’t touch the lamp with bare
fingers. Oil from your skin leaves a residue, causing a hot spot that
will shorten the life of the lamp.
WARNING
Poor lighting while driving can result in severe injury or death.
Headlight and taillight lenses become dirty during normal
operation. Wash the headlights frequently to maintain lighting
quality.
Hot components can cause serious burns to skin. Allow lamps to
cool before servicing.
Headlight Lamp Replacement
1. Remove the two screws on the lower front corners of the headlight
pod.
2. Remove the screw from the rear of the pod.
3. Lift the pod slightly while depressing the tabs at the rear of the
pod.
4. Lift the pod cover and disconnect the speedometer harnesses from
the speedometer.
5. Unplug the headlamp from the wiring harness. Be sure to pull on
the connector, not on the wiring.
6. Turn the lamp counterclockwise to remove it.
7. Apply dielectric grease to the socket and install the new lamp.
NOTE: Make sure the tab on the lamp locates properly in the
housing.
8. Reassemble the pod.
