On the halogen chart, low beam is H11 55W and high beam is 9005 65W. LED headlamps are not a replaceable bulb in this manual.
Turn the steering wheel to the opposite side, remove two screws and one push pin from the front of the wheel liner, and pull the liner back toward the tire. Then remove the rubber cap on the high beam or low beam.
A thin mist with no streaks, covering less than half the lens, is listed as acceptable and may take up to 48 hours to clear. A puddle, large droplets, drip marks, or streaks are the cases the manual sends to a dealer.
The maintenance checklist is on the site now. The email list is not sending yet, so this box will not store an address.
Same repair, different model year. Use the page that matches the truck or car in the driveway. A figure on one year is not a figure for the next.
