  4. Rotate the front fog light bulb in the direction of the arrow shown in the figure.
    CAUTION:
    • A halogen bulb generates extremely high heat when it is used. If the surface of the bulb is soiled, excessive heat will build up and the light's life will be shortened. When replacing the bulb, hold the metal flange, not the glass.
