INSTALLATION
WARNING: To avoid serious or fatal injury when working on the High Intensity Discharge (HID) headlamp system, be certain to take the
proper precautions. The headlamp switch must be in the OFF position. Disconnect and isolate the battery negative cable. There is a risk of
death caused by contact with high voltage used in the HID headlamps. There is a risk of explosion or fire caused by highly flammable materials
in the vicinity of damaged HID lighting elements. There is a risk of injury caused by exposure to Ultra Violet (UV) light, a risk of burns caused
by high component operating temperatures, a risk of mercury poisoning through glass splinters produced by bursting HID lighting elements.
There is also a risk of poisoning caused by inhalation of mercury vapors and by toxic salts and mercury compounds being ingested or coming
into contact with the skin. Do not come into contact with parts that are under high voltage. Persons with active electronic implants (e.g. heart
pacemakers) must never work on HID headlamps. Wear insulated safety shoes, safety glasses and protective gloves. Remove flammable
materials and ensure sufficient ventilation in the working area.
1. Position the Automatic Headlamp Leveling Module (AHLM) (2) close enough to the receptacle on the bottom of the right front lamp unit housing
(4) to reconnect the front lamp unit wire harness connector to the connector receptacle on the upward-facing side of the AHLM.
2. Position the AHLM into the receptacle on the bottom of the lamp housing.
3. Position the cover plate (1) over the AHLM on the bottom of the lamp housing.
4. Install and tighten the four screws that secure the cover plate and the AHLM to the lamp housing. Tighten the screws securely.
5. Reinstall the right front lamp unit into the vehicle. See: Service and Repair/Removal and Replacement/Front Lamp Unit - Installation.
6. Reconnect the battery negative cable.
NOTE: On vehicles equipped with the optional High Intensity Discharge (HID) headlamps, when the Automatic Headlamp Leveling
Module (AHLM) is replaced with a new unit, a diagnostic scan tool MUST be used to initialize the new AHLM before the automatic
headlamp leveling system can operate properly. Follow the steps outlined in the diagnostic scan tool under the AHLM Electronic Control
Unit (ECU), More Options, System Tests menu item for Calibrate.
