4. Reconnect the harness and reinstall the bulb by twisting it clockwise.

3. 3. Snap the halves together with an even gap, then test transmitter operation.

2005–2007

Replace the entire set with the proper plug type listed on the Vehicle Emission Control Information label, because faulty plugs can damage the catalytic converter.
