CAUTION
Halogen headlight bulbs become very hot while in use. If you
touch the bulb surface with bare hands or greasy gloves, finger
prints or grease on the bulb surface develop into hot spots, caus-
ing the bulb to break. If there are finger prints or grease on the
bulb surface, wipe them away with a soft cloth moistened with al-
cohol.
