General information
Note: Incandescent lamps should only be replaced with lamps of the same type. Before replacing a lamp, make sure that the appropriate light fixture is turned off. Do not handle the bulb with bare fingers, use a clean towel or cotton gloves. The dirt left by the fingers on the bulb of the lamp evaporates and is deposited on the reflector. Accidentally left fingerprints should be removed with a cloth soaked in alcohol. It is not allowed to wipe the headlight reflectors covered with a protective varnish with a dry hard cloth, and also to use any cleaners or solvents for this purpose. Use soft wet wipes.
Caution: Halogen bulbs are pressurized and may burst, so wear safety goggles and gloves when replacing them. When replacing xenon lamps, there is a risk of injury due to high voltage! Be sure to turn off the headlights and disconnect the electrical wiring from the battery. After replacement, briefly turn the headlight on and off to remove residual voltage.
Attention: Do not leave the lamp hole open for a long time - dust, moisture or smoke entering the headlight unit can affect the quality of lighting! When installing the cap, make sure that it is fully attached to the surface of the headlight!
1. Two types of headlights can be installed on the models covered in this manual: halogen and xenon (see below).
2. Before starting work on replacing lamps, set the rotary switch for outdoor lighting to the position «ABOUT» (see chapter «Controls and methods of operation», Section 17) and turn off the ignition. Disconnect the wire from the negative battery terminal (see chapter 5).
3. Replacement of lamps is carried out through an impellent compartment. Depending on the model, replacing the right headlight bulbs may require removal of the air duct or air cleaner housing (see chapter 4). Replacing the left headlight bulbs will require removal of the washer fluid reservoir filler neck (see Section 8).
Note: On some models, access to the headlight bulbs through the engine compartment is very difficult, and sometimes impossible - in this case, to replace the bulbs, you must remove the headlight (see Section 12).
4. The general layout of the lamps on the block headlight is shown in Ref. illustrations.
11.4 Location of bulbs on the headlamp (on the example of the left block headlight): 1. Parking light lamp; 2. High beam lamp; 3. Low beam lamp; 4. Turn signal lamp socket handle
5. After replacing the lamps, check the correct operation of the lighting - if the result is unsatisfactory, contact the service station. Headlight adjustment is recommended only at a service station, where there is special equipment for this. Regulator (with appropriate equipment) the direction of the optical axes of the headlights when adjusting must be set to O (see chapter «Controls and methods of operation», Section 17).
High Beam Bulb Replacement
6. Open the hood and perform preliminary operations (see above).
7. Press out the latch (see resist. illustration) and remove the headlight bulb cover.
11.7 Press the latch and remove the high beam lamp cover
8. Turn the lamp socket counterclockwise (see resist. illustration), release it from the latches and remove the lamp from the reflector socket.
11.8 To remove, turn the chuck (1) high beam headlights anti-clockwise
9. Remove the lamp from the socket (see resist. illustration).
11.9 Remove the lamp (2) from a cartridge (1) in the direction indicated by the arrow
10. Installation is carried out in the reverse order.
Replacing lamps dimensions (parking lights)
11. The parking light is mounted on a reflector next to the high beam (see resist. illustration). To access the bulb, remove the high beam bulb cover (see above).
11.11 Cartridge (1) parking light bulb installed next to the high beam bulb
12. Pull the parking light bulb holder towards you (see illustration: 11.11) and remove it from the reflector. Remove the lamp from the socket.
13. Installation is carried out in the reverse order.
Replacing front turn signal bulbs
14. Turn the turn signal bulb holder by the handle (see illustration 11.4) counterclockwise and remove from the holder along with the lamp.
15. Press the bulb lightly into the socket, turn it counterclockwise and remove it from the socket.
16. Installation is carried out in the reverse order.
Replacing the Low Beam Bulb
Halogen headlights
17. Remove the low beam lamp cap from the back of the headlamp.
18. Turn the lamp socket counterclockwise (see resist. illustration), release from the holder and remove together with the lamp from the reflector socket.
11.18 Turn the dipped beam bulb socket counterclockwise and remove it from the reflector (headlamp halogen type)
19. Remove the lamp from the socket.
20. Insert a new lamp into the socket, and install it in the socket so that the fixing tabs of the socket match the reflector cutouts. Turn the chuck clockwise until it stops.
21. Close the lamp with a cap and install the service cover.
Xenon type headlights
Attention: High voltage accumulates in the electrical circuit of the xenon headlights! Be careful, follow the recommendations given at the beginning of this Section! It is advisable to entrust the replacement of xenon lamps to service station specialists.
22. To replace the dipped beam foot, you must first remove the headlight from the car (see Section 12).
23. Turn out 3 fixing bolts and uncover a passing beam lamp.
24. Turn the ignition block counterclockwise (see resist. illustration), release it from the holder and remove the block from the lamp - when turning the block, the connector of its electrical wiring should be disconnected.
11.24 Connector (2) unit wiring (1) low beam lamp ignition (xenon type headlamp): 3. Mounting marks
Attention: Never turn on the headlights with the ignition unit removed!
25. Squeeze the wire clip and remove it (see resist. illustration).
11.25 Wire spring clip (1) low beam lamps (xenon type headlamp)
Remove the xenon lamp from the reflector.
26. Install a new lamp in the reflector socket so that the grooves on the lamp base fit into the corresponding guides (see resist. illustration).
11.26 Removing/installing the xenon lamp (2) low beam: 3. Mounting slots
27. Further installation is carried out in the reverse order of removal. After installing the ignition unit, its label (see illustration 11.24) should be opposite the alignment mark on the headlamp.
Attention: The electrical wiring connector should only be connected after the ignition unit is in place!
