moisture and oils on the bulb.
Also, if the bulb is scratched or dropped, it may blow out or crack.
●
Fully install light bulbs and any parts used to secure them. Failure to do so may result
in heat damage, fire, or water entering the headlight unit. This may damage the head-
lights or cause condensation to build up on the lens.

●
Check the wattage of the bulb before installing to prevent heat damage.
