■
Be sure to stop the hybrid system and turn off the lights. Do not attempt to replace the
●
bulb immediately after turning off the lights.

moisture and oils on the bulb.
Also, if the bulb is scratched or dropped, it may blow out or crack.

●
component parts.
Doing so may result in death or serious injury due to electric shock.
