NOTICE
HID lamps have superior performance
vs. halogen bulbs. HID lamps are esti-
mated by the manufacturer to last twice
as long or longer than halogen bulbs
depending on their frequency of use.
They will probably require replacement
at some point in the life of the vehicle.
Cycling the headlamps on and off more
than typical use will shorten HID lamp
life. HID lamps do not fail in the same
manner as halogen incandescent lamps.
If a headlamp goes out after a period of
operation but will immediately relight
when the headlamp switch is cycled it is
likely the HID lamp needs to be replaced.
HID lighting components are more com-
plex than conventional halogen bulb and
thus have higher replacement cost.

WARNING
- Halogen bulbs
• Halogen bulbs contain pressur-
ized gas that will produce small
pieces of glass if broken.
• Always handle the bulbs careful-
ly, and avoid scratches and abra-
sions. If the bulbs are lit, avoid
contact with liquids.
• Never touch the glass with bare
hands. Residual oil may cause
the bulb to overheat and burst
when lit.

(Continued)
• If a bulb becomes damaged or
cracked, replace it immediately
and carefully dispose of it.
• Wear eye protection when chang-
ing a bulb. Allow the bulb to cool
down before handling it.
