Replacing bulb:
To prevent a possible electrical short
circuit, switch off lamp prior to
replacing a bulb.
When replacing bulbs, install only 12
volt bulbs with the specified watt
rating.
When replacing halogen bulbs do not
touch glass portion of bulb with bare
hands. Use plain paper or a clean cloth.
Warning!
Halogen lamps contain pressurized
gas. A bulb can explode if you:
• touch or move it when hot,
• drop the bulb,
• scratch the bulb.

Warning!
Because of high voltage in Xenon
