HEADLIGHT: 60/51 W
FRONT PARKING LIGHT: 5 W

4 . Install the headlight in the reverse order of removal.
5. After replacement, adjust the headlights to local requirements.

FRONT BUMPER REMOVAL/INSTALLATION - SEDAN

NOTE:

"Â An assistant is helpful when removing the front bumper.
"Â Take care not to scratch the front bumper and body.
"Â Put on gloves to protect your hands.

Remove the front bumper as shown.

Install the bumper in the reverse order of removal, and note these items:
"Â After reinstalling the center upper beam, check the aim of the headlights.
"Â Make sure the front bumper engages the side clips, and the hooks (of the center and corner upper beams) on each side securely. Replace any damaged clips.
