Exterior Lights - Description And Operation:

Combination light assembly (Rear)
Rear combination light assembly is aerodynamically shaped to follow body contours. Lens is three-colored: amber (hazard/turn signal), translucent (backup) and red (tail/brake). Rear combination light assembly contains three bulbs. Two bulbs are single-filament and are used in hazard/turn signal and backup light circuits. Third bulb is a dual filament bulb; one filament functions as brake light and other as tail light. A plastic bulb holder mounts three lamps and associated wiring. Bulb holder can be removed from inside vehicle for bulb replacement.

Brake light bulb is turned on/off by a brake light switch mounted near brake pedal and actuated by movement of brake pedal.

Backup light is turned on/off by a switch mounted on transaxle. When transaxle is shifted into reverse gear, switch is closed to turn on backup lights.

The turn signals are controlled by the combination switch located on the steering column. The hazard lights are turned on/off by the switch located on the center panel.

The flasher unit which controls the hazard light operation is located under the left side of instrument panel.

Headlight/Combination light assembly
Head light/combination light assembly is aerodynamically shaped to match contours of body. Light assembly is attached to body with three bolts.

This light assembly contains three bulbs. One bulb functions as headlight, others as combination light. Headlight bulb is of dual-filament halogen type.

Dual filaments are energized separately to provide high and low beams. An O-ring seals bulb installation to prevent foreign matter from entering headlight assembly. Bulb can be removed/installed from engine compartment without removing light assembly. Each headlight can be adjusted to move beam up, down, left or right. Two adjustment screws for each headlight assembly are reached through holes in body structure, directly above headlight assembly. Inboard screw adjusts left/right headlight beam, and outboard screw adjusts headlight beam up/down.

Front combination light contains two bulbs. One bulb functions as hazard/turn signal light, and other as position/parking light.

The turn signals are controlled by the combination switch located on the steering column. The hazard lights are turned on/off by the switch located on the center panel.

The brake light bulb is turned on/off by the brake light switch located near the brake pedal and is actuated by depressing of brake pedal. Refer to Brake System, for adjustment procedures for the brake (stop) light switch.

The backup light is turned on/off by the backup light switch mounted on the transaxle case. When the transaxle is shifted into reverse gear, the backup light switch closes turning on the backup lights.

The turn signals are controlled by the combination switch located on the steering column. The hazard lights are turned on/off by the switch located on the center panel. The flasher unit which controls the hazard light operation is located under the left side of instrument panel.
