At every service (or about every 10,000 km), it’s smart to check operation, lens clarity, and aim. If a globe is being replaced, avoid touching the glass, reseat the dust cap carefully, and verify aim afterwards. For access, the Odyssey typically allows a twist-and-release bulb change from behind the headlamp
