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. Hold the bulb by
●
the plastic or metal portion.
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.

While the low beam headlights are turned
on, and for a short time after they have
been turned off, metal components at the
rear of the headlight assembly will be
extremely hot. To prevent burns, do not
touch these metal components until you
are certain they have cooled down.
