NOTE: These instructions are for changing the Low-beam headlight bulbs. If you need to change the high beam bulb, the steps are the same.
1. Open the Hood
- Pull the hood release lever in the footwell.
- Open the hood and prop it up using a prop rod.
2. Locate the back cover of the headlight assembly
- The headlight assembly is located behind the headlights.
3. Remove the back cover
- Unplug the electrical connector attached to the back of the bulb cover.
- Turn the 10mm plastic cover retainer counter-clockwise to unlock and remove it.
- Pull the cover straight back to remove it from the headlight assembly.
4. Remove the old bulb
- Pull on the rubber grommet to remove it.
- Turn the bulb counterclockwise about an eighth turn, and pull it straight out of the headlight assembly.
5. Install the new bulb
- Before handling the new bulb, put on some clean, lint-free gloves. The natural oil from your fingers will shorten the life of a new bulb.
- Position the bulb in the headlight assembly.
- Turn the bulb clockwise about an eighth of a turn to lock it in place.
- Reinstall the rubber grommet.
6. Reinstall the cover
- Position the cover over the bulb and the headlight assembly.
- Turn the plastic retainer clockwise and tighten.
- Reconnect the electrical connector that you disconnected in step 2.
7. Close the Hood
- Lower the hood and close it securely.
