Bulbs - Headlight Housing - Volvo S80 Owner's Manual

CAUTION
Never touch the glass of bulbs with your
fingers. Grease and oils from your fingers
vaporize in the heat and will leave a
deposit on the reflector, which will damage
it.

The engine should not be running
when changing bulbs.
•
If the engine has been running just
prior to replacing bulbs in the head-
light housing, please keep in mind that
components in the engine compart-
ment will be hot.

ice technician.
