the bulb, rather than the whole lamp.

RWARNING
Handle a halogen headlamp bulb carefully
and keep out of children's reach. Grasp

hand could cause the bulb to break the
next time the headlamps are operated.

Do not remove the burned-out bulb unless you
can immediately replace it with a new one. If a
bulb is removed for an extended period of time,
contaminants may enter the headlamp housing
