Note

•  Fogging or condensation on the inside of the rear combination lights may occur due to a natural phenomenon occurring as a result of a temperature difference between the interior and exterior of the combination lights. However, it has no effect on the light performance because the temperature inside the rear combination lights rises after illuminating a rear turn light or a period of time has elapsed.

1.  Disconnect the negative battery terminal. (See NEGATIVE BATTERY TERMINAL DISCONNECTION/CONNECTION.)
