Notes on Troubleshooting the Xenon Headlight




WARNING: Danger of injury from high voltage!


- The light should always be switched off when the components (control module, gas discharge lamp, drive motor) are removed and installed!
- The gas discharge lamp (D2S lamp) should only be operated when installed in the reflector and in the installed headlight!
- A removed headlight does not have a high voltage!


NOTE:
- For a faulty dipped beam or high beam headlight, the individual components (gas discharge lamp, control module) can be replaced from the second headlight!
- Only the battery voltage can be checked with the headlight removed on the plug connection, to Pin 5 = 56a, Pin 11 = 56b and Pin 12 = 31, according to the wiring diagram in the wing!
- The gas discharge lamp should only be operated when installed in the reflector and in the installed headlight!
