Types of bulbs
The bulbs used on this vehicle are shown in the
illustration.
• Bulbs “a” and “b” are used for the headlights
and usually use a bulb holder that must be de-
tached before removing the bulb. The majority
of these types of bulbs can be removed from
their respective socket by turning them coun-
terclockwise.
• Bulbs “c” are used for turn signal and tail/brake
lights and can be removed from the socket by
pushing and turning the bulb counterclockwise.
• Bulbs “d” and “e” are used for meter and indi-
cator lights and can be removed from their re-
spective socket by carefully pulling them out.
Checking the condition of the bulbs
The following procedure applies to all of the
bulbs.
1. Remove:
• Bulb
WARNING
EW1D71009
Since headlight bulbs get extremely hot,
keep flammable products and your hands
away from them until they have cooled
down.
CAUTION:

• Be sure to hold the socket firmly when re-
moving the bulb. Never pull the lead, other-
wise it may be pulled out of the terminal in
the coupler.
• Avoid touching the glass part of a headlight
bulb to keep it free from oil, otherwise the
transparency of the glass, the life of the
bulb, and the luminous flux will be adverse-
ly affected. If the headlight bulb gets soiled,
thoroughly clean it with a cloth moistened
with alcohol or lacquer thinner.
