Lighting and Horns: Service Precautions

PRECAUTION OF HEADLIGHT BULB REPLACEMENT

a. 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.
b. 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.
c. 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.
d. Be sure to use the bulb of the same watt when replacing bulbs.
e. Firmly reinstall the socket after replacing the bulb. Otherwise, cloudy lens or invasion by water will be caused.
