REPLACING EXTERIOR BULBS

HEADLAMPS

1. Raise the hood to access the rear of the headlamp housing.

2. Slide the red lock tab rearward on the connector, then depress the tab and remove the connector from the bulb.

3. Twist the headlamp bulb and pull the bulb from the headlamp housing.

4. Install the new headlamp bulb and twist until locked into the headlamp housing.

   CAUTION:

   Do not touch the new bulb with your fingers. Oil contamination will severely shorten bulb life. If the bulb comes in contact with an oily surface, clean the bulb with rubbing alcohol.

1. From behind the bumper fascia, or the access panel on the air dam, squeeze the two tabs on the side of the bulb socket and pull straight out from the fog lamp.

   CAUTION:

   Do not touch the new bulb with your fingers. Oil contamination will severely shorten bulb life. If the bulb comes in contact with an oily surface, clean the bulb with rubbing alcohol.

2. Disconnect the wire harness from the bulb.

3. Reconnect the wiring harness to the new bulb and reinstall by inserting the new bulb straight into the fog lamp until it locks into place.

REAR TAIL, STOP, TURN SIGNAL, SIDE MARKER AND BACKUP LAMPS

   Tail Lamp Assembly Screws

   Note:

   • If a screwdriver is used, make sure a soft material is placed between the vehicle body and tool so not to scratch the paint.

   • The PRY location is best closest to the studs while dislodging them separately.

3. Twist the socket and remove from the lamp assembly.

4. Pull the bulb to remove it from the socket.

5. Replace the bulb, reinstall the socket, and reattach the lamp assembly.

CENTER HIGH MOUNTED STOP LAMP (CHMSL)

1. Using a small screwdriver, press inward the locking tab on the outboard side of the lamp assembly and pull down on the lamp assembly for removal.

2. Twist and remove the socket from the lamp assembly and pull the bulb out to remove.

3. Push the bulb into the socket, twist the socket into the lamp assembly and reinstall the lamp assembly into place ensuring the locking tab is secure.
