- Do not leave the headlight without a ballast and back cover for a long time. Dust, moisture, etc. entering the headlight may affect its performance.


1. Disconnect the ground cable from battery.
2. Remove the headlight assembly.
3. Remove the back cover.

5. Remove the harness connector and screws to pull out the ballast.

ASSEMBLY

HID HEADLIGHT BALLAST

CAUTION:
- When installing the ballast cover, be sure to install the gasket.
- After installing the ballast to the vehicle, be sure to perform beam adjustment.
Assemble each part in the reverse order of removal.


Tightening torque: 1.3 N.m (0.13 kgf.m, 0.96 ft.lb)

NOTE: Adjust the projector lens to near the center of the extension opening before installing the ballast. This makes the beam adjustment work easier.
