CAUTION:
0 Do not use a tester to diagnose the HID control unit circuit.
0 Do not disassemble the HID control unit and harnesses (bulb socket harness and control unit har-
ness).
0 Immediately after the headlamps turn ON, brightness and emission color vary. This is a normal
condition.
When a bulb has reached the end of its life, the brightness becomes extremely low, the bulb con-
tinues to blink, or the light looks reddish.
