Insert the new bulb, reconnect the harness, and secure the cover. Always consult the owner’s manual for specific instructions.

Common issues include electrical problems, such as malfunctioning sensors or battery drain. Check the battery voltage and connections, and replace if necessary. For engine misfires, inspect spark plugs and ignition coils. If the transmission shifts roughly, check the fluid level and condition. For warning lights like the check engine light, use an OBD-II scanner to diagnose the issue. Regular diagnostics and timely repairs can prevent major problems.

To optimize performance, use high-quality synthetic oil and premium fuel. Regularly clean or replace air filters to ensure efficient airflow. Upgrade to high-performance tires for better grip and handling. Consider a professional ECU tune to enhance engine output. Maintain proper tire pressure and alignment for improved fuel efficiency. Regularly service the transmission and suspension systems to ensure smooth operation and handling.
