burns out, you can purchase a replacement from most automotive supply stores.
Procedure

NOTE: The glass of the new bulb must not be touched with bare hands. Finger grease
deposited on the glass will create hot spots on the bulb and decrease its life. If the
bulb glass is accidentally touched, it can be cleaned with a lint free cloth dampened
with alcohol.
