5. Installation is the reverse order of removal.
CAUTION:

Never touch glass of bulb directly by hand. Keep grease and other oily matters away from it.

Never touch bulb by hand while it is lit or right after being turned off. Burning may result.

Never leave bulb out of headlamp reflector for a long time because dust, moisture, smoke, etc.
may affect the performance of headlamp. When replacing bulb, be sure to replace it with new one.

When bulb is installed, be sure to install plastic cap and bulb socket securely to ensure watertight-
ness.
Bulb Replacement of Driving LampEKS00N52
1. Remove driving lamp. Refer to LT- 2 3 , "Removal and Installation
of Driving Lamp" in “HEADLAMP -XENON TYPE-”.
2. Disconnect driving lamp connector.
3. Turn bulb socket counterclockwise and unlock it.

XENON HEADLAMP
Xenon type lamps are used for to the low beam headlamps. Xenon bulbs do not use a filament. Instead, they
produce light when a high voltage current is passed between two tungsten electrodes through a mixture of
xenon (an inert gas) and certain other metal halides. In addition to strong lighting power, electronic control of
the power supply gives the headlamps stable quality and tone color.
Followings are some advantages of the xenon type headlamp.

The light produced by the headlamps is white color similar to sunlight that is easy to the eyes.

Light output is nearly double that of halogen headlamps, affording increased area of illumination.

Counter-reflected luminance increases and the contrast enhances on the wet road in the rain. That makes
visibility go up more than the increase of the light volume.

Power consumption is approximately 25 percent less than halogen headlamps, reducing battery load.
