WARNING - Halogen Bulbs
• Wear eye protection when changing a bulb.
Allow the bulb to cool before handling it.
• Halogen bulbs contain pressurized gas. If
broken, a halogen bulb will explode and will
produce flying pieces of glass.
• Always handle halogen bulbs carefully to
avoid scratches and abrasion. If the bulbs
are lit, avoid contact with liquids. 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 the headlight assembly.
• If a bulb becomes damaged or cracked,
replace it immediately and carefully dispose
it.
