Headlight Bulb: Removal

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2003 Subaru Impreza. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

CAUTION:

Because the tungsten halogen bulb operates at a high temperature, dirt and oil on the bulb surface reduces the bulb's service life. Hold the flange portion when replacing the bulb. Never touch the glass portion.
Do not leave the headlight without a bulb for a long time. Dust, moisture, etc. entering the headlight may affect its the performance.

Disconnect the ground terminal from battery.
Remove the duct (A) (when right side headlight is removed).
