BULB REPLACEMENT

Headlamp Condensation

The headlamps are vented to equalize pressure. When moist air enters

the headlamp(s) through the vents, there is a possibility that

condensation can occur. This condensation is normal and will clear

within 45 minutes of headlamp operation.

Replacing exterior bulbs

Check the operation of all the bulbs frequently.

Using the right bulbs

Replacement bulbs are specified in the chart below. Headlamp bulbs must

be marked with an authorized “D.O.T.” for North America and an “E” for

Europe to assure lamp performance, light brightness and pattern and safe

visibility. The correct bulbs will not damage the lamp assembly or void the

lamp assembly warranty and will provide quality bulb burn time.
