Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before installation, turn off the vehicle's ignition and switch off the light control to prevent electrical shorts. Access the light housing as instructed in your vehicle owner's manual. The BAY15d base uses a push-and-turn (bayonet) mechanism; simply push the bulb slightly inward and rotate counter-clockwise to remove, and press in and rotate clockwise to seat the new bulb. Avoid touching the glass portion of the bulb with bare skin, as natural oils can cause hot spots that shorten the bulb's lifespan. If you touch the glass, wipe it clean with a lint-free cloth and isopropyl alcohol before use. Always replace bulbs in pairs to ensure even brightness across the vehicle.
