waste, because the mercury has
vanished. Dismantle the glass
retention frame and remove the
headlight insert. Pull the plug and
unscrew the holding bracket.
Do not touch the bulb with your
fi ngers! 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 pat-
tern, 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 he
direction of the base.
Have the headlights adjusted at a
garage or petrol station.
Let the bulb cool down. Use pro-
tective goggles and safety gloves
to replace the bulb.
Xenon glass bulbs are fi lled with
various gases and metal vapours
and are pressurised (splinters).
Never touch the xenon glass bulb,
only touch the bulb base. Carefully
remove any fi ngerprints 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 lea-
ve 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 va-
pour 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
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 questions or installation
problems, please call the HELLA
