Lighting and Horns: Service Precautions

LIGHTING SYSTEM

PRECAUTION
1. PRECAUTION OF HEADLIGHT BULB REPLACEMENT
a. If the surface halogen lamp (headlamp) is coated with oil, lamp service life is shortened because of the heat generated when the lamp is on.
b. Since the internal pressure of the halogen lamp bulb (headlamp) is high, handle carefully. It may explode if dropped.
c. Try not to handle the lens too much when changing the lamp because it could result in a dirty or moist lens. Always have the replacement bulb prepared before starting the installation.
d. Always replace the bulb with one of the same wattage.
e. In order to avoid a cloudy lens or leakage, firmly reinstall the socket after bulb replacement.
