Install the New Bulb

5

Insert the new bulb into the housing.

Clean your finger print oil off the bulb glass to help it last longer. The oils from your skin can contribute to hot spots on them and burn out prematurely.

6

Reinsert the housing and twist to lock it in place

7

Turn on the lights to test your new bulb. If the new bulb is a drastically different color or brightness, you may wish to replace the other side the same time.

8

Install the carpeting and all 13 push rivets.
