Circuit Operation

CAUTION: Halogen bulbs contain a gas under pressure. Handling a bulb improperly could cause it to shatter into flying glass fragments. To help avoid personal injury:
^ Turn OFF the headlamp switch and allow bulb to cool before changing bulbs. Leave the switch off until bulb change is complete.
^ Always wear eye protection when changing a halogen bulb.
^ Handle the bulb only by its base. Avoid touching the glass.
^ Do not drop or scratch the bulb. Keep moisture away.
^ Place the used bulb in the new bulb's carton and dispose of it properly. Keep halogen bulbs out of reach of children.


Headlamps
Each headlamp is individually fused so that battery voltage is applied to the individual lamps at all times through circuit 1640 for the LH headlamps and through circuit 1740 for the RH headlamps. When the headlamp switch is in HEAD, the ground is applied directly to headlamp dimmer switch through circuit 1750. When the headlamp dimmer switch is placed in low, the ground is applied to the low beam lamps through circuit 1201. When the headlamp dimmer switch is placed in high, the ground is applied to the high beam lamps and high beam indicator through circuit 1200. The high beam indicator is fused so that battery voltage is applied at all times through circuit 640.
