WARNING
To prevent injury
■
Before performing any light bulb
replacement procedure, be sure to turn
the power switch off. Failure to do so may
result in burns from hot components or a
part of your body may get caught on an
operating component, possibly causing
serious injury.
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.
