Headlight bulb – replacement

Warning: Halogen bulbs are gas-filled and under pressure and they can shatter if the surface is scratched or the bulb is dropped. Wear eye protection and handle the bulbs carefully, grasping only the base whenever possible. Don’t touch the surface of the bulb with your fingers because the oil from your skin could cause it to overheat and fail prema­turely. If you do touch the bulb surface, clean it with rubbing alcohol.
