Front Lamp Unit Bulb - Installation





BULB - HEADLAMP

LOW BEAM

CAUTION: Always use the correct bulb size and type for replacement. An incorrect bulb size or type may overheat and cause damage to the lamp, the socket or the lamp wiring.

CAUTION: Do not contaminate the bulb glass by touching it with your fingers or by allowing it to contact other oily surfaces. Shortened bulb life will result.





1. Position the low beam bulb (2) close enough to the back of the front lamp unit housing (1) to access and reconnect the lamp wire harness connector (3) to the bulb connector receptacle.
2. Align the low beam bulb with the keyed opening on the back of the front lamp unit reflector.
3. Insert the bulb into the reflector opening until the base is firmly seated.
4. Rotate the base clockwise about 30 degrees to lock it into place.





5. Position the low beam headlamp bulb access cover (2) onto the outboard back of the front lamp unit housing and rotate it clockwise about 30 degrees to lock it into place.
6. For the left hand side only, position the engine air cleaner assembly to the Front End Module (FEM) structural support and reinstall the fastener that secures the air cleaner assembly.
7. Reconnect the battery negative cable.

HIGH BEAM

WARNING: To avoid serious or fatal injury when working on the High Intensity Discharge (HID) headlamp system, be certain to take the proper precautions. The headlamp switch must be in the OFF position. Disconnect and isolate the battery negative cable. There is a risk of fatal injury caused by contact with high voltage used in the HID headlamps. There is a risk of explosion or fire caused by highly flammable materials in the vicinity of damaged HID lighting elements. There is a risk of injury caused by exposure to Ultra Violet (UV) light, a risk of burns caused by high component operating temperatures, a risk of mercury poisoning through glass splinters produced by bursting HID lighting elements. There is also a risk of poisoning caused by inhalation of mercury vapors and by toxic salts and mercury compounds being ingested or coming into contact with the skin. Do not come into contact with parts that are under high voltage. Persons with active electronic implants (e.g. heart pacemakers) must never work on HID headlamps. Wear insulated safety shoes, safety glasses and protective gloves. Remove flammable materials and ensure sufficient ventilation in the working area.

CAUTION: Always use the correct bulb size and type for replacement. An incorrect bulb size or type may overheat and cause damage to the lamp, the socket or the lamp wiring.

CAUTION: Do not contaminate the bulb glass by touching it with your fingers or by allowing it to contact other oily surfaces. Shortened bulb life will result.

2. Align the high beam bulb (5) with the keyed opening on the back of the front lamp unit (1) reflector.
3. Insert the bulb into the reflector opening until the base is firmly seated.
4. Rotate the base clockwise about 30 degrees to lock it into place.





5. Position the high beam headlamp bulb access cover (3) onto the inboard back of the front lamp unit housing and rotate it clockwise about 30 degrees to lock it into place.
6. For the left hand side only, position the engine air cleaner assembly to the Front End Module (FEM) structural support and reinstall the fastener that secures the air cleaner assembly.
7. Reconnect the battery negative cable.
