type of high voltage discharge tube.
High voltage can remain in
the
circuit even with the light switch off
and the key removed. Because of
this, you should not attempt to

headlight bulb yourself.
If a low
beam headlight bulb fails, take the
car to your dealer to have it replaced.

Halogen bulbs are used for the high
beam headlight bulbs.

glass from contact with your skin or
hard objects.
If you touch the glass,
clean it with denatured alcohol and a
clean cloth.

Halogen headlight bulbs get very hot
when
lit. Oil, perspiration, or a scratch
on the glass can cause the bulb to
overheat and shatter.
