Headlamps

All models are equipped with composite headlamps. Each composite headlamp consists of 1 halogen bulb, providing both high and low-beam operation, and a headlamp assembly. The bulb is separate from the assembly. The headlamp assembly does not need to be removed from the vehicle in order to replace the bulb. It is not necessary to re-aim the headlamps when replacing only the bulb.

The turn signal/headlamp switch lever is located on the left side of the steering column. The switch lever controls both the low-beam and high-beam headlamp operations. The lever is only serviceable as pan of the combination switch. For combination switch removal and installation procedures, refer to Inflatable Restraint Steering Wheel Module Coil Replacement in Restraint Systems. A twist type knob on the end of the switch lever controls the operation of the parking lamps and the headlamps. A solid tone will sound as a reminder if you open the drivers door with the key out of the ignition and the park lamps or the headlamps on. When either the parking lamps or headlamps are activated, the following also illuminate:
- The tail lamps
- The side marker lamps
- The rear license plate lamps
- The instrument cluster assembly lamps
- The heater control unit lamp
- The radio lamp
- The cigar lighter lamp
- The IP ashtray lamp
- The manual selector lever lamp

The TAIL fuse applies voltage to the coil and the contacts in the tail lamp relay at all times. With the turn signal/headlamp switch lever in the park lamp or headlamp position, the coil is provided a ground through the turn signal/headlamp switch to G200. When the ambient light sensor senses a low light condition, a path to ground is provided to the coil through the sensor to G200. When the coil energizes, the contacts in the tail relay close and voltage is applied to the lamps mentioned above. All of the lamps illuminate because the lamps are grounded permanently.
