Replacing headlight bulbs

            0

You will find lamps for side lights, high beam and low beam in the headlight housing. To replace them, you do not need to dismantle the headlights. Open the hood and remove the lock cap on the corresponding lamp unit. Important: never take a halogen lamp by the glass bulb - only by the cartridge. Use replacement lamps with UV filter only.

Stages of work



Turn off the lights and ignition.

Open the hood.

Press down the lock on the protective cap on the back of the headlight and remove the cap.

Replacing dipped beam, high beam and parking lights


Check headlight alignment after every bulb change



Since the reflector may move when changing the bulbs in the headlights, before changing the bulbs, you must park the car in front of a dark wall and mark the light cone of serviceable bulbs on the wall with chalk. After replacement, compare the light reflection with the marking. If the reflector is misaligned, it is best to have the light adjustment carried out by a specialist workshop using the optical headlight adjustment tool.
