Before changing a bulb, turn the
ignition switch to the "OFF" po-
sition. Change bulbs wearing
clean gloves or using a clean and dry
cloth.
Do not leave fingerprints on the
bulbs, since these could cause
their overheating and conse-
quent breakage. If you touch a bulb
with bare hands, remove any fingerprint
with alcohol, in order to prevent it from
frequently cutting out.
