HEADLAMP ASSEMBLY OR HEADLAMP BULB AND/OR CORNERING, SIDEMARKER, PARK, TURN SIGNAL BULB REPLACEMENT

REMOVAL PROCEDURE

Open the hood.

Remove the fascia to tie bar push-in retainers (1).

Gently pull the top of the fascia assembly several inches away from the vehicle to release the radiator grille strap from the headlamp.
Place a piece of tape over the radiator grille strap to headlamp retaining clip to prevent scratching of the headlamp lens.

Remove the headlamp bolts (1, 2).

Pull gently on the bottom outboard corner of the headlamp to disengage the lower rear headlamp retainer.

Remove the bulbs (2, 3, 4, 5) from the backside of the headlamp.
Remove the headlamp from the vehicle.
