electrical connector from the bulb.
6. Remove the bulb retaining ring by
rotating it counterclockwise (when

bulb from the lamp assembly by gently pulling it straight back out of the
lamp assembly.

bulb into the lamp assembly. Turn
the bulb left or right to align the
grooves in the plastic base with the
tabs in the lamp assembly. When the
grooves are aligned, push the bulb
into the lamp assembly until the
plastic base contacts the rear of the lamp assembly.
2. Install the bulb retaining ring over the plastic base until it contacts the
rear of the socket by rotating it clockwise until you feel a “stop.”
3. Connect the electrical connector into the rear of the plastic base until
it snaps, locking it into position.
