Handle a halogen headlamp
bulb carefully and keep out

of children’s reach. Grasp the bulb
only by its metal base and do not
touch the glass. The oil from your
hand could cause the bulb to
break the next time the
headlamps are operated.

Note: The bulb’s metal base gets very hot during headlamp operation.
Be sure the bulb base is cool before handling.

Note: If the bulb is accidentally touched, it should be cleaned with
rubbing alcohol before being used.

To complete installation, follow the removal procedure in reverse order.
