General
1 With all light bulbs, remember that if they
have just been in use, they may be very hot.
Switch off the power before renewing a bulb.
2 With quartz halogen bulbs (headlights and
coin
similar applications), use a tissue or clean
cloth when handling the bulb; do not touch
the bulb glass with the fingers. Even small
quantities of grease from the fingers will
cause blackening and premature failure. If a
bulb is accidentally touched, clean it with
methylated spirit and a clean rag.

reversing the removal operations.
