REMOVAL: Disconnect the negative battery cable. Raise and prop the hood. Remove any components necessary to access the lamp.

Unplug the connector from the back of the lamp. The connector may be very tight and require wiggling to loosen; support the lamp while with your other hand while wiggling the connector loose. Turn the retaining ring counterclockwise, then pull the bulb from the lamp housing. INSTALLATION: NOTE:Hold the new bulb by the base; do not touch the glass part with fingers or gloves. The grease left on the glass will form hot spots and shorten the life of the bulb. If the glass is accidentally touched, clean the glass with alcohol. Install the new bulb. Make certain all three guide tabs fit into their correct slots. Turn the ring clockwise to lock it in place. Engage the wiring connector firmly. Connect the negative battery cable and turn the headlights on. Check both high and low beam function. Reinstall any components removed for lamp access.
