WARNING  
■Replacing light bulbs  
●Turn off the lights. Do not attempt to replace the bulb immediately after  
turning off the lights.  
The bulbs become very hot and may cause burns.  
●Do not touch the glass portion of the light bulb with bare hands. When it is  
unavoidable to hold the glass portion, use and hold with a clean dry cloth  
to avoid getting moisture and oils on the bulb.

Metal components  
turned on, and for a short time after  
they have been turned off, metal com-  
ponents at the rear of the headlight

components until you are certain they  
have cooled down.
