Replacing outdoor lighting bulbs
Caution! If you're replacing a headlight bulb while driving, be aware that the bulb socket is hot.
1. Disconnect the negative (-) terminal of the ground wire. If the bulb has been in use for a long time, it is possible that the bulb socket is rusted. Therefore, when replacing a light bulb, clean the socket as well.
If the bulbs have a so-called bayonet lock, then to install them, you need to press on the bulb and turn it in the socket.
Do not touch the glass of the light bulb with your fingers. The installation of light bulbs should be done using a paper napkin.
Be sure to install a light bulb of the same rating as the previous one.

Headlights
Since headlights need to be adjusted after replacement, we recommend entrusting this work to an appropriate workshop. The adjustment itself is carried out from the back of the headlights using an appropriate device and must be carried out in a workshop, because the accuracy of headlight adjustment is a traffic safety requirement regulated by law. Headlight adjustments, sometimes even free of charge, can be done at a workshop, gas station, or auto club stand. All vehicles are equipped with headlight range adjustment. Some models have an automatic corrector. Using a small lever on the back of the headlight, the headlight angle can be adjusted to suit the vehicle's load.
