Before replacing the exterior lighting bulb, disconnect the cable from the negative terminal of the battery. Be aware that if the lamp has just been lit, it may be too hot.
Check the relevant electrical circuit and fuse first. Do not touch the glass bulb of the lamp with bare hands. Grease stains on the lamp cause it to darken and quickly fail. Be sure to replace defective lamps with lamps of the same type. Wipe off any stains that may appear due to carelessness with a clean, lint-free cloth or alcohol.
