Headlamp Service

General Precautions for Service Operations
Never work with wet hands.

Xenon headlamp includes high voltage generating part. Be sure to disconnect battery negative cable (negative terminal) or power fuse before removing, installing, or touching the xenon headlamp (including lamp bulb).

Turn the lighting switch OFF before disconnecting and connecting the connector.

When turning the xenon headlamp on and while it is illuminated, never touch the harness, bulb, and socket of the headlamp.

When checking the headlamp on/off operation, check it on vehicle and with the power connected to the vehicle-side connector.

Do not touch the headlamp bulb glass surface with bare hands or touch the headlamp bulb just after the headlamp is turned off.






Install the xenon headlamp bulb socket correctly. If it is installed improperly, high-voltage leak or corona discharge may occur that can melt the bulb, connector, and housing. Do not illuminate the xenon headlamp bulb out of the headlamp housing. Doing so can cause fire and harm your eyes.

When the bulb has burned out, wrap it in a thick vinyl bag and discard. Do not break the bulb.

Leaving the bulb removed from the headlamp housing for long period of time can deteriorate performance of the lens and reflector (dirt, clouding). Always prepare a new bulb and have it on hand when replacing the bulb.

When adjusting the headlamp aiming, turn the aiming adjustment screw only in the tightening direction. (If it is necessary to turn the screw in loosening direction, first fully loosen the screw, and then turn it in tightening direction.)

Do not use organic solvent (paint thinner or gasoline) to clean lamps and to remove old sealant.
