Do not touch the glass part of the
headlight bulb to keep it free from
oil, otherwise the transparency of
the glass, the luminosity of the
bulb, and the bulb life will be
adversely affected. Thoroughly
clean off any dirt and fingerprints
on the headlight bulb using a cloth
moistened with alcohol or thinner.
6. Install the bulb cover, and then
connect the coupler.
