Headlight bulb

Handle halogen bulbs with care.

Halogen bulbs contain pressur-

ized gas that will produce flying

pieces of glass if broken.

Always handle them carefully, and

avoid scratches and abrasions. If the

bulbs are lit, avoid contact with liq-

uids. Never touch the glass with bare

hands. Residual oil may cause the

bulb to overheat and burst when lit. A

bulb should be operated only when

installed in a headlight.

If a bulb becomes damaged or

cracked, replace it immediately and

carefully dispose of it.

Wear eye protection when changing

a bulb. Allow the bulb to cool down

before handling it.
