Do not touch the new bulb with your fingers. Oil contamination
will severely shorten bulb life. If the bulb comes in contact with
any oily surface, clean the bulb with rubbing alcohol.
To avoid burning yourself, do not replace the light bulbs when
they are hot. Halogen bulbs have pressurized gas inside and
are to be handled with special care. Mishandling it may cause
the bulb to burst or shatter. Hold the bulb with its metal/plastic
holder/base and do not touch the glass part with bare hands.
Using bulbs with units of higher output capacity/wattage is
illegal and may damage your vehicle's electrical system.
Replacement bulbs must meet the specification of originally
fitted bulbs.
