Follow the instructions to change the af-
fected bulb → . Always replace bulbs
with identical bulbs of the same type.
The designation is inscribed on the bulb,
either on the glass part or on the base.
10. Do not touch the glass part of the bulb
with unprotected fingers. When switch-
ed on, the heat of the bulb would cause
the remaining fingerprint to evaporate
and be deposited on the reflector. This
will impair the light output of the head-
light.
11. After changing a bulb, check to ensure
that the bulb is working properly. If the
bulb is not working properly, the bulb
may not have been inserted properly,
may have failed again, or the connector
may have been fitted incorrectly.
12. Each time you change a bulb at the front
of the vehicle, the headlight settings
should be checked by a qualified work-
shop.
