Steps
- Clear the access path
Switch the lights off and let the bulbs cool. Release the two clips holding the passenger-side air duct with a flat screwdriver, then lift the duct out of the way.
- Change the high-beam bulb if needed
Unplug its connector, rotate the bulb base counterclockwise and remove it. Seat the correct replacement, lock it clockwise and reconnect the wiring.
- Change the low-beam bulb if needed
Disconnect the low-beam connector and turn the old bulb out. Align the locating tab on the replacement with the housing before locking it in and reconnecting the plug.
- Restore the air duct
Push the duct back into the air box opening and secure the two clips so the intake path is fully seated.
- Change the parking lamp if needed
Release its small cover clips, turn the socket counterclockwise and swap the bulb. Refit the socket in its original orientation, close the cover and test every bulb you touched.
Check your vehicle’s repair manual for exact specifications and fit.
