Steps
Remove the bumper cover
Release the upper clips and trim pieces, then remove the headlamp wiper arm and bumper fasteners. Pull the cover away carefully, unplug its wiring and washer hoses, and set it on a padded surface.
Remove the headlamp assembly
Remove the headlamp Torx and socket fasteners, including the lower retaining clip, then ease the lamp out. Disconnect its wiring connector and support the lamp to avoid scratching the lens.
Replace the high beam bulb
Twist the rear dust cover off, rotate the bulb counterclockwise, and unplug its connector. Handle the replacement bulb by its base, connect it, lock it into the socket, and reinstall the dust cover securely.
Reinstall and test the headlamp
Reconnect the headlamp harness and seat the assembly behind the wiper motor, then reinstall its fasteners and adjuster. Refit the bumper cover, reconnect wiring and washer hoses, and test the high beam and headlamp wiper.
