and taillight lenses become dirty during normal operation. Clean
headlights frequently and replace burned out headlamps promptly.
Always make sure lights are adjusted properly for best visibility.

fingers. Oil from your skin leaves a residue, causing a hot spot that will
shorten the life of the lamp. If fingers do touch a lamp, clean it with
denatured alcohol.
1.
Remove the seven (7)
headlight pod screws.
2.
Pull the pod cover
forward.
CAUTION!
Hot components can
cause burns to skin. Allow lamps
to cool before servicing.
