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.

3. Pivot the wire bulb retainer over the bulb base, then clip the retainer into place.
4. Reconnect the front lamp unit wire harness connectors to the bulb.

6. Swing the rear cover upward into place, then pull upward on the two latches (1) until they snap into place with an audible click.
