4.1 Before You Begin

4.2 Installation Steps
- Disconnect Power: Carefully disconnect the electrical connector from the back of the existing bulb.
- Remove Old Bulb: Twist or unclip the old HB3/9005 halogen bulb from its housing. Remove it gently.
- Insert New LED Bulb: Take the SEALIGHT X1 HB3/9005 LED bulb. Align the tabs on the LED bulb with the slots in the vehicle's housing.

- Connect Electrical Connector: Reconnect the vehicle's electrical connector to the new SEALIGHT X1 LED bulb. The bulbs are non-polarity sensitive, meaning they will work regardless of connector orientation.
