CAUTION
Replacing light bulbs
■
Turn off the lights. Do not attempt to replace the bulb immediately after turning
●
off the lights.
The bulbs become very hot and may cause burns.
Do not touch the glass portion of the light bulb with bare hands. When it is
●
unavoidable to hold the glass portion, use and hold with a clean dry cloth to avoid
getting moisture and oils on the bulb.
Also, if the bulb is scratched or dropped, it may blow out or crack.
Fully install light bulbs and any parts used to secure them. Failure to do so may
●
result in heat damage, fire, or water entering the headlight unit. This may damage
the headlights or cause condensation to build up on the lens.
Discharge headlights (if equipped)
■
Contact your Lexus dealer before replacing the discharge headlights (including
●
light bulbs).
Do not touch the discharge headlight' s high voltage socket when the headlights
●
are turned on.
An extremely high voltage of 25000 V will be discharged and could result in
death or serious injury by electric shock.
Do not attempt to take apart or repair the headlight bulbs, connectors, power
●
supply circuits, or related components.
Doing so could result in electric shock and death or serious injury.
To prevent damage or fire
■
Make sure bulbs are fully seated and locked.
●
Check the wattage of the bulb before installing to prevent heat damage.
