This
automotive "how to" instruction guide was specifically written to
assist owners of the 2006 Dodge Caravan minivan in replacing a burnt
out headlight bulb and/or parking / turn signal light bulb. Owners of other fourth generation Dodge Caravans, Grand Caravans, Chrysler Voyager or Chrysler Town & Country minivans from 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006 and 2007 may also find the guide to be useful. The 2001-2007 Dodge Caravan comes equipped with a combination low beam & high beam headlamp. Replacement headlight bulbs from Sylvania and other manufacturers will have 9007 in the part number. A replacement front turn signal or "parking" light bulb is part # 3457A. The only tool needed for this procedure is a flat head screwdriver. A pair of pliers, a crescent wrench or even a Leatherman Multi-Tool will also get the job done. |
