Do not touch the glass part of the bulb with unprotected fingers. When switched 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 headlight.
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.
Any time you change a bulb at the front of the vehicle, the headlight settings should be checked by a
qualified workshop.
WARNING
Ignoring any of the items on this important safety checklist can lead to accidents and severe injuries.
NOTICE
Always take care when removing or fitting lights to prevent damage to the paintwork or to other
vehicle parts.
