CHANGING A BULB
Lamp Assembly Condensation
Exterior lamps are vented to accommodate
normal changes in pressure. Condensation
can be a natural by-product of this design.
When moist air enters the lamp assembly
through the vents, there is a possibility that
condensation can occur when the
temperature is cold. When normal
252
condensation occurs, a thin film of mist can
form on the interior of the lens. The thin mist
eventually clears and exits through the vents
during normal operation. Clearing time may
take as long as 48 hours under dry weather
conditions.
Examples of acceptable condensation are:
•
Presence of thin mist (no streaks, drip
marks or droplets).
•
Fine mist covers less than 50% of the
lens.
Examples of unacceptable moisture (usually
caused by a lamp water leak) are:
•
Water puddle inside the lamp.
•
Large water droplets, drip marks or
streaks present on the interior of the lens.
Take your vehicle to a dealer for service if any
of the above conditions of unacceptable
moisture are present.
Replacing HID Headlamp Bulbs
The headlamps on your vehicle use a high
intensity discharge source. These lamps
operate at a high voltage. See an authorized
dealer.
