2.PRECAUTION FOR HEADLIGHT BULB REPLACEMENT

If even a thin film of oil is left on the surface of a headlight bulb, its service life will be shortened because the light will burn at a higher temperature. When replacing a bulb, be sure to hold the flanged part of the light so that your hand does not contact the glass part of the light.

Always prepare a new bulb for immediate replacement. While replacing a bulb, the lens may attract dust and moisture if removed from the vehicle for a long time.

Always replace a bulb with another bulb of the same wattage.

If only replacing the bulb on one side, differences in brightness and lighting color between the right and left sides may occur.

Securely install the socket after bulb replacement. The lens may become cloudy or the light cavity may fill with water through gaps around the socket if the socket is not installed securely.

3.PRECAUTION FOR HID HEADLIGHT SYSTEM (for HID Headlight)

When any defects such as deformation, cracks, dents, chipping, etc. are identified on the discharge headlight, replace it with a new one.

Since the bulb of the discharge headlight bulbs have pressurized gas inside and can easily be broken if scratched or dropped, special care should be taken. When handling the bulb, hold the plastic or metal part and does not touch the glass part with bare hands.

Never touch the high voltage socket of the discharge headlight with the light control switch in the HEAD position, as this could generate a momentary high voltage of 20000 V and lead to a serious accident.

Never connect a tester to the high voltage socket of the discharge headlight for measurement, as this may result in a serious accident because of high voltage.

When servicing the discharge headlight, do not allow the discharge headlight to come into contact with water. Turn off the light control switch and disconnect the cable from the negative (-) battery terminal and the connector of the headlight control ECU in advance to avoid electric shocks.

Do not turn on the discharge headlight using a power source other than the vehicle battery.
