Installation






LAMP




1. Check to be certain that the three front lamp unit plastic nuts (4) are properly installed and in good condition.

2. Position the lamp (1) close enough to the front of the vehicle to reconnect the headlamp and dash wire harness connector (5) to the pigtail connector on the back of the lamp housing.

3. Position the lamp to the front of the vehicle. Be certain that the lower inboard lamp mounting bracket is captured between the metal mounting bracket on the top of the front frame crossmember and the tab of the plastic front fascia reinforcement. Push the tab of the front fascia reinforcement forward far enough for lamp mounting bracket clearance while maneuvering the lamp unit outboard during installation.

4. If equipped, install the push pin fastener (2) that secures the upper outboard lamp mounting bracket to the top of the radiator yoke hydroform.

5. Install and tighten the three screws (3) that secure the two lower and the upper inboard lamp mounting brackets to the front end sheet metal. Tighten the screws to 2 Nm (16 in. lbs.).

6. If the engine fresh air intake tube was removed during lamp removal, position it between the lamp and the radiator yoke hydroform and snap it into the air cleaner housing.

7. Reinstall the grille onto the front of the vehicle.

8. Reinstall the front lamp unit cover over the top of the lamp.

9. Reconnect the battery negative cable.

10. Confirm proper headlamp alignment.
