DISCHARGE HEADLIGHT SERVICE WARNINGS
DISCHARGE HEADLIGHT BULB SERVICE WARNINGS
To prevent electrical shock when replacing the discharge headlight bulb, dry hands thoroughly,
•
and carry out work in an area out of rain.
When the light switch is on, approx. 25,000 V of high voltage passes through the discharge
•
headlight bulb socket. Because of the danger of electrical shock, do not insert fingers or a tester.
When the headlights are on, high voltage flows around the socket and bulb. When turning on the
•
discharge headlights while working, always leave the headlights in the vehicle-installed condition
to prevent electrical shock.
