Replacing low beam headlight bulbs

On models with halogen headlights, the low beam headlight bulb can be replaced by the owner.

Before the bulb can be replaced, the plastic covering over the headlight housing has to be removed, see the article "Replacing bulbs."

 Important

Never touch the glass of bulbs with your fingers. Grease and oils from your fingers vaporize in the heat and will leave a deposit on the reflector, which will damage it.
