Headlight removal is shown for clarity. For the low beam on the driver's side, partially remove the air box, while for the passenger side, partially remove the washer fluid reservoir. In the engine compartment behind the headlight, unclip the plastic bulb cover in the direction of the arrow. Unclip the bulb by pressing the connector, disconnect it at the plug, and remove it in the direction of the arrow. Installation is the reverse of removal, ensuring the bulb is fully seated in the headlight. Avoid touching the bulb surface with bare fingers, as grease from the skin can cause premature failure. The high beam bulb is halogen, and replacement is similar for both halogen and xenon-equipped vehicles. For the driver's side headlight, partially remove the air filter housing, and for the passenger side, partially remove the windshield washer reservoir. In the engine compartment behind the headlight, unclip the plastic bulb cover in the direction of the arrow, unclip the bulb by pressing the connector, disconnect it at the plug, and remove it in the direction of the arrow from the headlight. Installation is the reverse of removal, ensuring the bulb is fully seated in the catches on the headlight. Again, avoid touching the bulb surface with bare fingers to prevent premature failure.

Vehicles equipped with optional xenon headlights, also known as high intensity discharge (HID) headlights, utilize a special high voltage bulb and control unit for the low beam headlights, while high beam bulbs are conventional halogens.

Vehicles equipped with optional Xenon headlights utilize a special high voltage bulb and control unit for the low beam headlights, while high beam bulbs remain conventional Halogens.
