- PRECAUTION OF HEADLIGHT BULB REPLACEMENT
- If the adhered oil is left unremoved from the halogen lamp surface, the lamp service life is shortened as it becomes hot when it is turned on.
- Since the internal pressure of a halogen lamp is high, dropping, hitting or damaging the bulb may cause the glass to scatter. Therefore, handle it with great care.
- When replacing bulbs, do not remove until a new bulb is prepared because if it is left being removed for a long period of time, the lens may be covered with dirt or moisture.
- Be sure to use the bulb of the same watt when replacing bulbs.
- Firmly reinstall the socket after replacing the bulb. Otherwise, cloudy lens or water leakage will be caused.
