Signal Lamp Bulb, Front

Service of the headlamp bulb on Crown Victoria and Grand Marquis requires the removal of the complete assembly. When servicing the Crown Victoria headlamp bulb you need to rotate counterclockwise the retainer and then pull the bulb out by its base. You can remove the headlamp bulb of the Grand Marquis vehicle by turning it counterclockwise. Careful handling of the bulb becomes essential because pressure gas inside creates risks of glass envelope damage and bulb shattering when there are scratches or drops; always grip the bulb at its base rather than touch the glass envelope. The timing for removing the headlamp bulb should be immediate before installation to prevent contamination and negative bulb performance effects. Both 9004 and 9007 bulbs look similar yet they cannot substitute each other. The procedure for installing the new bulb requires following the steps in reverse order to the removal process.

The service process for the headlamp bulb begins by taking out the complete headlamp assembly. Begin by turning the headlamp bulb protective cover to the counterclockwise direction to release it followed by disconnecting the electrical connector from the bulb. The bulb retainer can be taken off by turning it counterclockwise before slowly extracting the headlamp bulb by rocking it upward and downward. During installation reverse the steps by positioning the headlamp assembly correctly and aligning the alignment pins into the appropriate holes on the ribs of the reinforcement. You must grip the halogen bulb at its base to handle it properly since casual contact with the glass envelope can lead to shattering due to pressure-buildup within. The bulb removal should take place only right before lamp replacement because external contaminants may affect bulb performance and should never be activated without the missing bulb.

The service of instrument panel bulbs starts with instruments cluster removal. Start the bulb servicing task by removing all illumination bulbs. The procedure for reinstalling the component follows the direction opposite to the removal steps.
