Installing
Caution
♦ Do not touch glass envelope when fitting right gas dis‐
charge (xenon) bulb -L13- . Fingers leave traces of grease
on the glass envelope, which evaporate when the left gas
discharge (xenon) bulb -L13- is switched on and cause the
glass envelope to cloud over.
♦ Ensure glass envelope of left gas discharge (xenon) bulb
-L13- is not stressed mechanically. The glass envelope is
extremely sensitive and is also under a high internal pres‐
sure.
♦ Avoid looking directly into the collimated beam as the UV
radiation from the left gas discharge (xenon) bulb -L13- is
about 2.5 times higher than from normal halogen bulbs.
♦ When installing cover cap, ensure that it seats properly.
The ingress of water will lead to permanent damage to the
headlight.

ing:
