Safety notes:
Do not touch the bulb with
your fingers! Use a paper tissue
or similar.
Screw the holding bracket on
and reinstall the plug.
Dispose of used xenon bulbs
as hazardous waste.
To guarantee an optimal beam
pattern, make sure the ”TOP”
marking on the headlight insert
faces up when installing the
headlight insert. Now put on
the glass retention frame.
The locking lug must point in
the direction of the base.
Have the headlights adjusted
at a garage or petrol station.
Only correctly adjusted
headlights will provide optimal
light.
A useful tip:
Keep the cover lenses clean.
Dirt may absorb up to 80%
of the light emitted.
Do you carry replacement
bulbs and fuses in your car?
If you have any questions or
encounter problems with
installation, just call the Hella
Customer Service.
Replacing
the xenon bulb
Fig. page 4
Always switch off headlights
and disconnect the supply
voltage prior to replacing a bulb.
IMPORTANT!
Never operate the ballast
without bulb as this may
cause dangerous breakdown
voltages at the plug which will
cause damage.
Let the bulb cool down. Use
protective goggles and safety
gloves to replace the bulb.
Xenon glass bulbs are filled
with various gases and metal
vapours and are pressurised
(splinters).
Never touch the xenon glass
bulb, only touch the bulb base.
Carefully remove any fingerprints
on the glass bulb with a clean
cloth and alcohol. Only operate
the bulb in a closed headlight.
If a xenon bulb breaks in a closed
room (garage), then you should
leave the room for 20 minutes
and air it to prevent any risk to
your health from toxic gases.
Xenon bulbs are hazardous
waste and must be disposed
of properly.
If the bulb is defective, but
the glass bulb is still intact,
then it must be disposed of
as hazardous waste, because
the gas/metal vapour mixture
contains mercury and is very
toxic when inhaled.
If the glass bulb is destroyed,
e.g. in an accident, ten the xenon
bulb can be disposed of as
normal waste, because the
mercury has vanished.
Dismantle the glass retention
frame and remove the headlight
insert.
Pull the plug and unscrew the
holding bracket.
